Amex Brand Requirements

availability

Amex Express Checkout has been replaced with the latest unified checkout experience offered through Visa known as Secure Remote Commerce (SRC). If you were previously using Amex Express Checkout, you will need to integrate with SRC.

SRC is currently in a limited release to eligible merchants, and the API is subject to change. It was introduced in Android v2, iOS v4, and JavaScript v3 of our Client SDKs.

Contact us to request access to the release.

Merchants implementing Amex Express Checkout must adhere to the following guidelines and requirements set by American Express:

• All allowable graphics for the Amex Express Checkout Button are available in the Documentation, which you must use as presented and may not resize, recolor, or modify.
• Where using radio button implementations, the primary implementation is to leverage the payment mark in tandem with copy "Amex Express Checkout"; the secondary implementation is to leverage the button in tandem with copy "Amex Express Checkout"; and the tertiary implementation is to leverage the copy "Amex Express Checkout" on its own. You may not alter the spelling, capitalization, or styles for "Amex Express Checkout". For instance, and without limitation, "AMEX Express Checkout", "American Express Checkout", and "Amex Checkout" are all incorrect uses.
• You will not use any other Amex trademarks or graphics (i.e. payment acceptance mark or Amex blue box logo) instead of the approved Amex Express Checkout Button. Payment acceptance marks on your site (as differentiated from the Amex Express Checkout Button) should always be the Amex blue box logo.
• The Amex Express Checkout Button must always be clickable where implemented. You may not use the Amex Express Checkout Button in place of a payment acceptance mark or Amex blue box logo on your payment site.
• Amex suggests placing the Amex Express Checkout Button prior to the majority of manual entry fields, to take full advantage of the autofill capability.
