Shopify integration with Amazon: Everything at a glance
The linking of your Shopify store with Amazon offers you as a retailer a golden opportunity to optimize your logistics, open up new sales channels and strengthen your brand. But how does it all work and why does it make so much sense to carry out such an integration? Here we dive deep into the world of Shopify integration with Amazon to show you how to take your business to the next level.
Why the integration of Shopify and Amazon is a smart decision
Imagine you already have a well-running Shopify storebut you want to optimize fulfillment and logistics without investing in your own complex warehouse structures. Here comes Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) into play. With FBA, Amazon takes over the entire logistics process: warehousing, packaging, shipping and even customer service. This means you can focus on expanding your brand and your online stores while Amazon takes care of the logistics.
Otherwise, the integration offers you the advantage of being able to shop on the Amazon Marketplace and reach new customers there who you might otherwise never approach. Amazon offers a reach that you as a retailer could hardly achieve yourself – and all this while you retain control over your own business. Shopify store to present your brand authentically.
How does the integration of Shopify and Amazon work ?
The integration of your Shopify store with Amazon can be done in various ways. One basic method is the Manual order processingWhen orders are received in your Shopify store, you manually create a shipping order in Amazon Seller Central. But this is neither efficient nor scalable. The better solution is a Automated integrationwhere an interface (API) is used to seamlessly connect the order process between Shopify and Amazon FBA.
But beware: Amazon and Shopify technically speak different “languages”. Direct integration is therefore not always easy. Here comes SPACEGOATS into play: We help you to implement the necessary interfaces and tools to ensure a smooth connection. This means that the process is not only automated, but also error-free and in Real-Time.
Pan-EU and EFN: The best options for European marketplaces
If you want to offer your products on several European marketplaces, the Pan-EU program one of the best options. With this program, you can store your goods centrally and Amazon takes care of distribution to the various European countries. This means you can benefit from short delivery times and Prime shipping without having to worry about storage in each country individually.
The European Freight Network (EFN) is another option where you store your products in a central country and Amazon takes care of cross-border delivery. This is particularly practical if you want to start with just a few countries and gradually expand your presence.
Advantages of integration: the best of both worlds
- Efficient logistics through FBABy integrating FBA into your Shopify store you benefit from Amazon’s experienced logistics network, which enables short delivery times and the well-known Prime service. This means that your products reach your customers faster, which in turn increases customer satisfaction and loyalty.
- More sales channels through a multi-channel approach: By combining your Shopify Shop with the Amazon Marketplace you secure access to a large number of customers. You are not limited to a single channel, but can be active on both platforms at the same time and benefit from the advantages of each.
- Individual brand presenceYour Shopify store allows you to build a relationship with your customers and strengthen your brand. In contrast to the highly competitive Amazon Marketplace you can create a unique customer experience in your own store and present your products individually. This allows you to carry out marketing measures such as personalized emails, newsletters or exclusive discount campaigns.
- Data control and customer understanding: A key advantage of having your own online store is control over customer data. This data helps you to carry out targeted marketing measures such as cross-selling or retargeting in order to increase sales.
- Unbranded packaging: Amazon offers the option of sending orders in neutral packaging without the Amazon logo for suitable, sortable stock. However, this does not apply to clothing, shoes and items that are larger than 45.72 x 35.56 x 20.32 cm and/or heavier than 9 kg.
