Amazon Buy with Prime to Compete With Shopify 

With Shopify on the rise, Amazon is taking note and ready to compete. The Buy with Prime feature is an alternative to Shopify’s Shop Pay. Buy with Prime debuted as invitation-only, and initial results were impressive. The U.S.-based merchants that were invited to try Amazon’s payment platform benefited from a 25% increase in conversions. 

How It Works

There’s no denying that Amazon has a reputation like none other in the e-commerce world. Buyers trust Amazon, and Prime membership is the top driver of Amazon’s sales volume. Because Amazon Prime is universally loved and trusted, it’s no surprise that the Buy with Prime button results in more conversions. 

Amazon describes the button as easy to install, and once it’s live on your page, customers will see the instantly-recognizable option to Buy with Prime. To install the button, you’ll just need a Professional Seller Central account, access to Amazon’s fulfillment services, and Amazon Pay. After setting up these features, you’ll choose which products to offer via Buy With Prime and create a button code for installation on your page. You can find detailed instructions for setup here.
