'Pay with Amazon' buttons are coming to third-party mobile apps
Amazon's making it even easier for you to spend your money outside of its own site. Re/code reports that the online retailer is expanding Pay with Amazon, which lets customers use their saved payment info for third-party purchases, to mobile applications. Essentially, this means developers can start taking advantage of the feature on any app they make, giving people a familiar option to use during checkout time. Amazon has been offering the service for a couple of years now, though it was limited to desktop sites, rather than including smartphone or tablet apps. It's too early to tell how many devs will start adopting the buttons, but Pay with Amazon does offer a quick, secure and, most importantly, familiar way for users to shell out more cash -- and that may be hard to pass on.
