Mexico City, Mexico September 14th, 2020. – Today, Amazon México and OXXO announce a new form of payment for purchasers. This new service allows customers to choose in Amazon.com.mx the option of “cash payment” and complete their order by paying the exact quantity in any of the 19 thousand OXXO stores available in the country. This benefit offers users that do not have a credit or debit card another option to access millions of products in Amazon.com.mx.

When selecting the cash payment method, customers receive a barcode that they must use to pay – in the next 2 subsequent days – in any of the 19 thousand OXXO stores in Mexico. The package will be processed and sent one the correspondent payment is made, which is reflected instantaneously. We have begun to display this service and it will be completely active in all of Mexico in the upcoming weeks.

“In OXXO, our goal is to improve the value proposal we offer. This continuous innovation allows customers to satisfy different needs in a single place and bring them the best purchasing experience possible. Thanks to this service that we are launching with Amazon, we are strengthening the network of services by offering consumers more payment solutions processed in real time,” said Santiago Rivera, Electronic and Financial Services Manager in OXXO.

The new payment experience gives customers the flexibility to carry out transactions for specific items when buying in Amazon.com.mx. For the users who want to contribute with an additional sum of money to their Amazon balance to use it in future acquisitions, they can use Amazon Cash as a payment method. Amazon Cash is also available in the OXXO stores of the entire country.

“In Amazon, we are constantly innovating and working to find exciting and convenient ways to offer the best purchasing experience to our customers. Today, we are delighted to announce, along with OXXO, a new, convenient and opportune way for customers to buy in Amazon.com.mx and pay in cash”, said David Miller, Country Manager at Amazon México. “This new service allows customers to select and then pay the exact required amount to acquire any of the millions of products we have in Amazon.com.mx; all of this without the need to have a credit or debit card”.
