Visit our [GitHub repository](https://github.com/ZeekInteractive/pay-invoices-with-amazon/) for further details, documentation, and support. **Creating Invoices** To create invoices, add either the `Adjustable Price` or `Fixed Price` block to a page or post: 1. Navigate to the page or post where you want to add the payment block. 2. Click on the `+` button or type `/` to add a new block. 3. Search for `Adjustable Price` or `Fixed Price` in the block library. 4. Click on the block to add it to your page or post. Once the block is added, you can either email a link to that page to a customer or include a link in an invoice sent from your accounting software of choice, such as QuickBooks, Xero, Zoho, FreshBooks, or Harvest. The customer will need to have or create an Amazon account to make the payment. Once the payment is made, it will be processed by Amazon and the funds will be transferred to your linked bank account. For more information on how to set up and manage your Amazon Pay account, please refer to the [Amazon Pay Help Center](https://pay.amazon.com/help/JXYC9GRJATFBSXN). **Receiving Payments** To receive payments, connect the plugin to your Amazon Pay account using one of the methods the under `WP Admin > Pay Invoices With Amazon > Settings`: 1. **Connect Automatically**: This is the easiest and most secure. Click the `Connect Amazon Pay Account` button to log in with your Amazon account and have credentials configured automatically. 2. **Send Public Key**: Copy-and-paste a plugin-generated Public Key into Amazon Integration Central, then copy-and-paste the returned Public Key ID. 3. **Receive Private Key**: Generate a Private Key in Amazon Integration Central, then drag-and-drop the downloaded file onto the Settings field and copy-and-paste the Public Key ID. Once payments are processed, individual payments will be authorized by Amazon within 24 hours. After that period, click the linked "Reference ID" for the payment to go to Seller Central. Clicking "Collect Payment" in Seller Central will transfer the authorized funds.
