Wait, obviously Amazon has their own checkout software. Is this a name recognition play to have AWS come with Stripe batteries included?

They do, but Stripe may have other advantages that Amazon's home-grown billing does not... fraud detection comes to mind.

If there is one company besides Stripe that I'd expect to have high quality fraud detection, I'd name Amazon actually, maybe add PayPal. The largest online retailer in all major markets sans China and Russia by far, you don't get to that position if you're lacking in the anti-fraud department.

(Alternatively, one might say Amazon simply is large enough to eat up the cost of fraud...)

If Amazon has good fraud detection, they should consider using it on sellers.
