How to Add Your AWS Access Key to the Form

The buttons you create using the form generator at http://payments.amazon.com do not have your Access Key ID as the value for the accessKey parameter. If you decide to sign your buttons yourself, you must set this value in the form before you create the button signature.

To Add Your Access Key ID to the Form

  1. Retrieve your AWS Access Key Id as detailed in Using Access Identifiers

    Your access key is the only credential you add to your HTML button form. Though you need your secret key to create the signature, it is never part of the form.

  2. Paste your access key in the value attribute that corresponds to the accessKey.

    It should be similar to the following:

    <input type="hidden" name="accessKey" value="11SEM03K88SD016FS1G2" >
