Is there a way to avoid the co-branded ui pipeline?

Is there a way to avoid using the redirect to the co-branded ui and collect say creditcard information on my side and use this to receive payments?
Most existing services supports this type of payment reception.

Currently, Amazon FPS does not support a mechanism to avoid co-branded UI pipelines. Cobranded UI allows millions of amazon.com customers to easily use the payment information that is already available on their amazon.com account.
let us know if you have more questions.

Thanks for clearification. See this this post as a feature-request.

I'd like to second this request. We currently use authorize.net to process $200K+/month in transactions and I'd love to use AFP instead, but I can't if it means handing customers off to another site halfway through the transaction.

this aint gonna happen. as mentioned, you would lose the ability to tap in to the address book and credit card info at amazon.com.
google checkout ha s asimilar restriction, i believe.

Paypal also started out this way (requiring people to go through their middle page), but soon learned that most people (website owners) hate this and find it really tacky. I was excited to find out about this web service, but am disappointed in this requirement, esentially making it not usable in my (and most other large storefront owners') situation. As soon as they allow seamless CC transactions with their APIs they will see a tremendous boost in interest.
This is disappointing :(
The paypal/google/amazon sign-on stuff is something that most people view as a hassle more than a "feature".

Personally, when I'm the consumer, I prefer having my financial info stored at a reputable branded site such as PayPal or Amazon, rather than having it stored everywhere I shop.

The fact of it is that most place don't store your credit card information at all... the information is passed to the bank/merchant services company and then promptly deleted (or never saved at all) on the stores servers.
It creates extra steps to checkout and is a pain in the butt for me (as a consumer) to have to sign up (and store my information with) with every major company out there just to buy from a store.

Here is another advantage. Through the co-branded ui pipeline, the developer gets access to amazon's customer base who can pay using their stored account information (credit cards and bank accounts). This will help provide a good kick-start to your business.
Hope this helps.

How would that provide a kick start to a business? You still have to get traffic to your own siteyou still have to sell products people want, you still have to setup an ordering system, you still have to do everything you would normally do, except now you have to add an additional step for your customers and send them away from your site just to make a purchase... I just don't see the benefit.
Anyway, to some small businesses this may be a good solution, but to most others it will not work so well.

FPS looked interesting to us until we hit upon this restriction. I understand the 'existing Amazon customer' argument, but we already use PayPal successfully and can make a similar argument for that service. We don't need the more advanced payment structures FPS provides, though I imagine they're great for certain customers.
Give us the huge array of features FPS provides without the hop through Amazon.com, and it's a no-brainer.

Another seconding here. Sending users away from my site is a no-no. I'll stick with my credit card processor until the time this is fixed.

While that is true, I'd just rather allow everyone with a credit card to purchase. In my view, requiring an amazon account for this service is doing yourselves a huge disservice - now, I can, at most, add your payment solution as a "pay using your amazon.com account", which will be a much smaller part of my total net than if you just wanted to have all my cc transactions (which will NOT happen for any serious site as long as you require the account hoop jumping)

My company will mostly be using a payments service to collect money from other companies. The individuals at these companies most likely have an amazon.com account, but the companies themselves do not. I think the co-branding would confuse them.
