Checkouts with Amazon Prime. Ship It or Hate It?

Heard the big news of the week?

Amazon just launched “Buy with Prime’. Currently invite-only, the service lets DTC brands offer checkouts with Amazon Prime.

This announcement is already shaking things up for eCommerce (Shopify’s shares took a further 8% hit last week). But is this a gamechanger for sellers?

Here’s what Amazon is promising:

• Fast, free delivery and hassle-free returns to your shoppers

• A seamless checkout experience

• Shopper-and-order-info sharing with sellers

Despite the convenience factor, not everyone is convinced. For one, should you risk handing Amazon your customers? What if they then get targeted with cheaper alternatives to your products?

And in case you missed this one; orders ship in Amazon boxes. Does this mean you lose out on branding?

Check out this thread for more.

What do you think? Would you ship with Amazon?
