AWS Payment Cryptography pricing
With AWS Payment Cryptography, you only pay for what you use. There is no upfront commitment or minimum fee. There are two components that determine your bill: charges per API call initiated and the number of active keys (secrets used for cryptographic operations).
Pricing examples
Example 1: Using AWS Payment Cryptography for low volumes of card transactions
You have an issuer processing application in US East (N. Virginia) that uses AWS Payment Cryptography as part of transaction authorization. You process 50,000 card transactions per month and each card transaction makes 2 API calls to AWS Payment Cryptography for a total of 100,000 API calls per month. These calls are made using a total of 10 active encryption keys. We calculate your cost per month as follows:
100,000 API calls at $2.00 per 10,000 API calls = $20.00
10 active keys at $1.00 per active key = $10.00
Total monthly cost = $30.00
Example 2: Using AWS Payment Cryptography for higher volumes of card transactions
You have a payment processing application in US West (Oregon) that uses AWS Payment Cryptography as part of transaction switching and routing. You process fifteen million card transactions per month and each card transaction makes two API calls to AWS Payment Cryptography for a total of thirty million API calls per month. These calls are made using a total of 20 active encryption keys. We calculate your cost per month as follows:
20,000,000 API calls at $2.00 per 10,000 API calls = $4,000.00
10,000,000 additional API calls at $0.75 per 10,000 API calls = $750.00
20 active keys at $1.00 per active key = $20.00
Total monthly cost = $4,770.00
