Hey Joshua,

Based on feedback from customers and after talking through it with Amazon, we concluded in 2008 that Amazon FPS was not an good fit (at least at the time) for the type of billing most common amongst FreshBooks customers. We subsequently discontinued offering it because it caused more confusion than benefit for our customers.

With this post being from 2007 and Amazon FPS still around, why don’t I see it listed as one of the offered payment gateways in my FreshBooks account? Just curious if something went sour, or if it is still API only?

I’m having trouble signing up. When I get to the last page where I can review the info, and I click ‘Complete Sign Up’, the same page is displayed again, with an error message at the top saying:

ERROR
You information could not be submitted because we encountered the following errors:
• We encountered an error while trying to process your last request. Please try again later.

Which is not terribly helpful. I tried several times, same thing keeps happening. Anyone knowns how to get past this roadblock? Thank you,

I know the card must be a US card, what abou the billing adress?
