Background: Amazon Pay Has Prohibited Business Categories and Products

Amazon Pay has prohibited business categories and prohibited products, and you need to prevent these products from being processed through Amazon Pay payments.

In the worst case scenario, your Amazon Pay account could be suspended, so you need to take preventive measures when adding Amazon Pay as a payment method.

How to Find Products Subject to Amazon Pay Restrictions

Use Google search with:

intext:"prohibited category keyword" site:your-site.example.com

Search for this and identify the relevant products to address them.

? intext:“禁止カテゴリーのキーワード” site:your-site.example.com - Google 検索

For the "prohibited category keyword" part, you can enter terms like CBD, Cuba, whale meat, etc., to check for the presence of products containing prohibited category ingredients or origins.
