I'm trying to click buttons on amazon with selenium (python) but it won't work. It says the elements don't exist. I tried to google it but only found outdated solutions. I've tried Xpaths,ID,full XPATH on pretty much all input fields with no success. I've used selenium before and it works flawlessly but on amazon in particular it can't find the elements. For example the place order button (Je bestelling plaatsen in my language) can't be found nor clicked.

driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*[@id="turbo-checkout-pyo-button"]/span/input')

driver.find_element(By.ID, 'turbo-checkout-pyo-button')
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '/html/body/div[4]/div[1]/div/div/div/div[2]/div/form/div/span/span/span/input')

How do I know which elements are clickable and direct to the intended page? If there is a way to tell please let me know. Thanks in advance

I'm not a selenium master but you can use the find_element_by_xpath function that returns an element object that can be clicked so:

element = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[4]/div[1]/div/div/div/div[2]/div/form/div/span/span/span/input')
element.click()

The problem was that the button was located in an iframe. Switching to the iframe and then pressing the button does the job. Found out through this question

driver.switch_to.frame("turbo-checkout-iframe")
directButton = driver.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, '#turbo-checkout-pyo-button')
directButton.click()
