Technically Amazon and not AWS but they deprecated then removed two separate payment APIs one after the other (SimplePay and another).

It’s the reason we haven’t adopted the latest replacement. Why bother?

Edit: thanks, it was indeed FPS.

> another

I was in a team that worked on "another" :-). Some of the best memories of my professional life were formed during that period! At launch that was indeed as part of AWS. However it then came under Amazon Payments entity due to legal reasons. Felt sad to see it retired though[1]

I think payment APIs have all kinds of social and legal problems associated with them that go beyond the technical.
