Learn how to make your Amazon purchases with Bizum for a convenient and secure shopping experience. Start using Bizum today.
Until now, the only accepted payment method for making purchases on Amazon was credit card. But since July 9, a new option is available: you can now pay for your Amazon purchases with Bizum . The popular app for sending money between friends also has the option of paying in certain stores, and the e-commerce giant has been the latest company to join this possibility.
We still need to have a bank account to make purchases, so this is not the solution for those who have been demanding the option of paying in cash for years. But if you are one of those who are reluctant to give out your credit card when shopping online, you will now have a new option at your disposal.
Furthermore, the main reason why the online store has chosen to add the option to pay for Amazon purchases with Bizum is that we are increasingly used to paying through banking apps instead of traditional credit cards. Seeing someone pay directly with their phone instead of taking out their wallet is something we are already totally used to. And this transfer from cards to banking apps is something that is also happening in e-commerce, so this new option is just proof of that.
How to Make Your Amazon Purchases with Bizum
To be able to pay for your Amazon purchases with Bizum, the first thing you have to do is register a telephone number that is associated with Bizum.
To do this, you will have to go to My account > My payments in the Amazon app menu. There you will have to click on Add new payment method. You will be asked for a phone number that you have associated with your Bizum account. If the number is correct, you will be sent a payment of 0.01 euros (which will then be returned) that you will have to verify in your bank’s app.
Once you’ve done this, your phone number will be added as a new payment method. From now on, every time you make a purchase on Amazon, Bizum will appear as an option when paying, and you’ll just have to select it.
When you select Bizum when paying, you will receive a notification in your bank’s app so you can verify that you want to make the payment. Once you have done so, the purchase process will be completed as usual. As you can see, paying for your Amazon purchases with Bizum is exactly as easy as doing so with any other method.
Advantages of paying for your Amazon purchases with Bizum
The main advantage of paying for your Amazon purchases with Bizum is that you won’t need to give your card number to the online store to make your purchases. Although Amazon in general stands out for being a very secure platform, there are many users who are not too familiar with online shopping who prefer not to give any type of bank details over the Internet, so giving only the phone number would make them feel much more at ease.
Plus, by having to confirm the purchase in your bank’s app, you won’t have to worry about anyone who has access to your Amazon account being able to make a purchase with your card without asking your permission.
Or maybe you are simply interested in this option because you have become so accustomed in recent years to making all your payments through Bizum that you find it more convenient to use this payment method than the traditional card payment. Whatever your reason, having new options to choose which is the most convenient way for you to pay for your purchases is always good news, and now you have Bizum as one more possibility.
