 * I am getting an error starting today about needing to reconnect to Amazon for
   V2 of their API. Upon trying to reconnect, the credentials aren’t transferring
   and I am not unable to use amazon pay.

 * I can’t get this to work either. I’ve been using AP for ages without problems.
 * Amazon says it has transferred the credentials, the Woo settings just sits there
   waiting forever for the results.
 *     ```
       By clicking Transfer API Keys, your API Keys will be securely sent to the following URL:
       https://www.xxx.com/wc-api/wc_gateway_amazon_payments_advanced_merchant_onboarding/
       Your keys have been transferred.
       We successfully shared your Amazon Pay keys with .
       Close the window to return to your admin panel.
       ```
   
 * Note that the Merchant ID and Store ID are there, but no public key…and of course
   it continues to say “Reconnect to Amazon Pay”.
 * Extremely frustrating. Trying to make sense of the manual instructions doesn’t
   help (and I have 30 years in IT) there is no place to download the keys on Amazon
   Seller Central nor Amazon Pay.

 * Hey [@rabh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rabh/),
 * Hope you are doing well!
 * is there any Performance plugin that could be conflicting with the keys transfer?
 * try to check the following link [conflict test](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/)
   could be some plugin or even the Theme you are using. We need to isolate the 
   problem first.
 * If you can’t find the issue, please contact us at WooCommerce.com > My Account
   > Support. You may need to create an account before you can access that page.
   
   Please include a link to this forum thread, so that we can keep track of what’s
   already been done. We will be able to help you further there.
 * Best,

 * Thanks, I did already disable most all of the plugins. I will try changing the
   theme and then get back to you.

 * So I disabled all the plugins except for Woocommerce itself and Jetpack. Activated
   2021 theme.
 * Still no joy.
 * I go through the process and tell it to transfer the credentials, it says it 
   successfully transferred the credentials but Woocommerce Amazon Pay plugin just
   sits there waiting for the credentials to arrive and the ssl access log just 
   continues to repeat:
 * “GET /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=amazon_check_credentials&nonce=ef65cf720b

 * Hi.
 * I was having problems emailing you because your server was rejecting my replies.
 * I think it’s working now (the email).
 * In any event, I tried to do the manual process to get keys and it did not provide
   me with a file of keys. I can’t create a new store so all it was doing was changing
   my current keys (or appeared to be doing that).
 * I will try some other permissions things on my end to see if I can get it to 
   work.

 * No, still doesn’t work.

 * OK, I got it to work, to transfer the credentials.
 * Now, when I try to make a purchase (using a different browser and my personal
   Amazon account) after the latest Amazon Pay update), it logs me into Amazon, 
   retrieves my payment information and address and displays the information in 
   the two little boxes.
 * So I click on PLACE ORDER and just above the two boxes I get a red excalamation
   mark and “please enter an address” and there is no way to continue.
 * So I tried logging into my store account, then tried to pay with Amazon Pay and
   still get the enter an address error.
 * So then I went into my store account and entered an address (doesn’t transfer
   from Amazon Pay ?).
 * Then I hit PLACE ORDER again and got this error:
    Error: The request signature
   we calculated does not match the signature you provided. Check your AWS Secret
   Access Key and signing method. Consult the service documentation for details.
 * So the system created the order with no addresses and set amazon_payment_advanced_version
   to 1.13.1 despite having retrieved the version 2 credentials from Amazon.
 * So checking again, at the top it says “Amazon Pay: Additional Setup Required –
   To ensure full compatibility with this version of WooCommerce, please enable 
   the “Use Login with Amazon App” feature from the settings page. After enabling
   Login with Amazon click the “CONFIGURE/REGISTER NOW” button to re-run configuration
   and setup your credentials. Alternatively, perform the setup manually using these”
   but of course “Login with Amazon app” is a V1 parameter which cannot be changed
   on the settings page.
 * Enable Amazon Pay & Login with Amazon is enabled, but the plugin keeps saying
   reconnect with Amazon Pay, gets a new set of credentials and then still doesn’t
   work.
 * Very frustrating.

 * This was a marathon, but I want to mention my resolution to the ‘credentials 
   not transferring’ issue.
 * I disabled all my plugins except for Woo and Amazon Pay which SHOULD have made
   the thing work. It did not.
 * The reason it did not is because although I had disabled W3 Total Cache plugin,
   the two files that W3 has you place in the wp-content directory, advanced-cache.
   php and object-cache.php are still being called and interfering with the process.
   Once I renamed those files so they would not run I was able to use the Reconnect
   With Amazon button.
 * I still cannot change the ‘Use Login with Amazon App’ setting.
