Gmail for Amazon verification: receive the Amazon OTP

What the Amazon verification email looks like

Amazon's verification email comes from an address at amazon.com and carries a 6-digit one-time password, often introduced by the letters "OTP". MailSMMO's Amazon rule reads the 6-digit number, with or without that label.

The mail is brief and the code is the only part that matters, so you do not need to open it.

When you need a Gmail address for Amazon

• Creating an Amazon account with an email address.
• Verifying an email you add to an existing account.
• Answering the one-time password challenge when you sign in from a new device.
• Confirming an email while recovering account access.

Tips for getting the Amazon code on the first try

• Create the order first, then request the code on Amazon. Only mail that arrives after the order exists is read, and the order lives for a 10-minute window by default.
• Watch the order on the web or in Telegram, or poll GET /orders/otp about every 2 seconds from your tool. The code appears the moment the mail is received.
• Stock for Amazon can be limited at times, so check the in-stock figure at the top of this page. If an order call returns out_of_stock, it is retryable: try again after a few seconds.
• Order the address only when the Amazon verification screen is ready, because the 10-minute window starts when the order is created.

Price, window and refund for Amazon

You pay the price shown at the top of this page when the order is created, for that single order. The default window is 10 minutes, and a code that arrived inside the window can still be read afterwards.

If no code arrives, the money goes back automatically: about 30 seconds after the window ends for Gmail from our own stock, and for Gmail bought from an external supplier as soon as that supplier reports the order expired. An order that received a code is never refunded, and orders cannot be cancelled.

Rent Gmail for Amazon through the API
