Amazon Shipping Intégration
About Amazon Shipping
Amazon is a global powerhouse in the online retail space, but their services are so much more than just a marketplace. They also run one of the fastest-growing courier services in the UK, ensuring that Amazon customers receive their products from third-party vendors. Given their dominance in the sector, it is no surprise that Amazon Shipping is one of the most popular integrations used by eCommerce companies. What sets Amazon Shipping apart is that they rival the universal service offered by Royal Mail, offering one price for deliveries wherever the destination in the UK. Not only that but their guaranteed next day service, seven days a week with weekend collections available means they have one of the most flexible delivery options for customers.
Just like with their online shopping, Amazon Shipping has some of the best prices on the market for courier and delivery services over 2kg with £100 maximum contents insurance included as standard.
Amazon Shipping Connection
Thousands of eCommerce businesses use Amazon Shipping. A growing proportion of UK companies choose to sell on Amazon and other marketplaces, such as Etsy and eBay exclusively. However, the majority sell via their business platforms – using their proprietary websites and social media accounts – to boost the reach of their products. Unfortunately, connecting external courier software to your website can be a real challenge, especially for small businesses.
Carriers like Amazon Shipping have their own courier management software known as APIs which enable data responses between Amazon and your website. Unfortunately, securing multiple shipping software with your website can be both costly and time-consuming. While API technology allows your website to ‘talk’ directly with another company’s platform – Amazon Shipping API is only designed for one integration. That means that for eCommerce retailers who need to use more than one carrier (Amazon Shipping for their sales on Amazon and Hermes via their individual company website, for example) they need further API integration. In fact, many companies which don’t have technical expertise in-house will need to hire a web developer to build integration with each shipping service website they use. The cost can quickly run into thousands of pounds, restricting your flexibility to swap couriers when you wish to do so.
