Buy with Prime collection pages

Once you’ve attracted engaged shoppers to your site, it’s important to make it easy for them to find your Buy with Prime products. Enter collection pages. This is a dedicated page (or pages) that allow you to showcase your Buy with Prime products. Creating a collection page can increase the chances of a shopper finding the products you’re offering with fast, free shipping and easy returns. See how these five merchants are using collection pages to improve the shopper journey for Prime members.

There are three key recommendations for creating collection pages that will help drive discoverability and conversions. First, make it easy for shoppers to find your Buy with Prime collection pages by adding an easy to find link on the home page of your ecommerce site. Whether you add it to the global top navigation, as a call to action in the hero banner, or as a pervasive banner across your website, the key is to make it obvious where shoppers can click to find your Buy with Prime products.

Second, you’ll need to help shoppers understand what Buy with Prime is and how to use it. Given its newness, consider explaining to shoppers that using Buy with Prime provides them fast, free shipping and easy returns with estimated delivery dates. Sound familiar? Yeah, it’s similar to the experience Prime members have come to love on Amazon.com. We recommend a FAQ drop down overview on your product detail pages that briefly explains how Buy with Prime works.

Finally, be consistent with your messaging across all your Buy with Prime eligible products on your site. In tandem with explaining that the Prime shopping experience is now available on your site, using the Buy with Prime badge and reiterating the benefit of fast, free shipping and easy returns can help broker shopper confidence and increase conversions.

Buy with Prime is a new way for you to attract and convert more shoppers. In addition to the marketing benefits that can help build shopper confidence and deliver a checkout experience millions of Prime members trust, Buy with Prime can also help simplify fulfillment, giving you time back to innovate and strengthen relationships with your customers.
