Set up Amazon Pay so travellers pay with the cards saved in their Amazon account. You need an Amazon Pay account in one of the countries listed above, approved for travel.
Tours are a category Amazon must approve before you take payments. Do not activate Amazon Pay before it has: Amazon can hold back payouts for a category it never approved.
