<p>WooCommerce Beta Tester allows you to try out new versions of WooCommerce before they are officially released.</p>
<p>Use with caution, not on production sites. Beta releases may not be stable.</p>
<p>After activation, you’ll be able to choose an update channel:</p>
<p>Beta – Update to beta releases, RC, or stable, depending on what is newest.<br />
Release Candidate – Update to RC releases or stable, depending on what is newest.<br />
Stable – No beta updates. Default WordPress behavior.</p>
<p>These will surface pre-releases via automatic updates in WordPress. Updates will replace your installed version of WooCommerce.</p>
<p>Note, this will not check for updates on every admin page load unless you explicitly tell it to. You can do this by clicking the “Check Again” button from the WordPress updates screen or you can set the WC_BETA_TESTER_FORCE_UPDATE to true in your wp-config.php file.</p>
<p>You can get to the settings and features from your top admin bar under the name WC Beta Tester.</p>

<h3>Overview</h3>
<p><strong>What is Amazon Pay? </strong>An end-to-end payment solution that gives hundreds of millions of active Amazon customers [1] a familiar, fast, and secure way to complete their purchase through your online store. Shoppers can use the address and payment information already stored in their Amazon account to check out – avoiding account creation or the need to re-enter their billing and shipping information. The performance is continually optimized by technology, learnings, and best practices from Amazon.</p>
<p>As earth’s most customer-centric company, we are continuously innovating on behalf of our customers. With 91% of Amazon Pay customers saying they would use Amazon Pay again and hundreds of millions of active Amazon customers already enabled for Amazon Pay, it can make it easier for you to deliver an improved customer experience online [2].</p>
