The Catalog update app for four major ecommerce providers is available through marketplace in the merchant console.

Buy with Prime merchants and their registered business account users can visit the marketplace and install its apps in the merchant console. Note: Use this app only if you want to keep your Buy with Prime price synced with your ecommerce site price. The app uses the main price attribute on your ecommerce site to update the Buy with Prime price. The app can’t use any custom price fields defined on your ecommerce site. For Shopify, BigCommerce and WooCommerce merchants, when installing, you can select additional attributes, such as product title, description, image, and URL. Selecting additional attributes isn’t available for Magento sites.

The Catalog update app by Alloy is available for merchants with ecommerce sites hosted with Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and Magento/Adobe Commerce.

No, when you use the Catalog updates app by Alloy, the variations and prices for all of your Buy with Prime products are updated from your ecommerce catalog.

The Catalog update app by Alloy is free to use for Buy with Prime merchants.

When a product shows a strikethrough price, Buy with Prime doesn’t consider the original (pre-strikethrough) price. Alloy catalog syncs the latest price from your site, and then applies discounts set up through Buy with Prime promotions. For example, if you set a strikethrough price and then set up a 20% discount through Buy with Prime, the 20% won’t apply on the base price before strikethrough. There are two options to avoid double discounts using Alloy:

Option 1: Verify that the configured discount is based on your final price. For example, if your base price is $100 and your strikethrough price is $80, and you want your discounted Buy with Prime price to be $60, set the discount percentage for Buy with Prime to 25%.

Option 2: Update the Buy with Prime catalog price to the base price (pre-strikethrough), and then set the discount percentage. For example, if the item is $100 and you want your discounted Buy with Prime price to be $60, set the discount percentage for Buy with Prime to 40%. Note: Turn off Alloy catalog sync during the sale period to avoid automatic syncing of your final site price.

For more information on Buy with Prime promotions, go to Buy with Prime promotions.

Buy with Prime merchants and their registered business account users can see the marketplace and its apps, including the Order connector app, in the merchant console.

The Order connector app by Alloy is available for merchants with ecommerce sites hosted by Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and Adobe Commerce/Magento.

Shipping weight is used to calculate the fulfillment fees. The shipping weight is calculated based on the item’s unit weight or dimensional weight.

Fees for small standard, special oversize, and extra-large 150+ lbs are calculated using only unit weight. The dimensional weight is equal to the unit volume (length x width x height) divided by 139. The dimensional weight for oversize, large bulky, and extra-large items assumes a minimum width and height of 2 inches. The total shipping weight for each unit if less than 1 pound is rounded up to the nearest whole ounce. If it weighs more than 1 pound, it’s rounded up to the nearest whole pound.

Amazon.com displays product reviews from Amazon customers to help shoppers learn more about products through authentic and trustworthy reviews. Amazon shoppers often rely on Amazon’s five-star rating scale and insight in individual reviews to help them make informed purchase decisions.

Amazon.com only collects product reviews from customers who have spent at least $50 on Amazon in the previous 12 months. Further details can be found in Amazon Community Guidelines and Customer Reviews help pages.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, Amazon.com doesn’t use a simple average. There are a few factors considered, such as how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. Additional information can be found in How Are Product Star Ratings Calculated help page.

Yes. For reviews on Amazon that have verified purchase badges, your shoppers can see these badges on your product detail pages too. For more information, go to Amazon Verified Purchase Reviews.

No, shoppers can only see the reviews from Amazon on your product detail pages. Shoppers can’t submit ratings or reviews through this feature.

Reviews from Amazon, now available on your product detail pages for Buy with Prime products, can help you tap into the volume and authenticity of reviews from Amazon to boost shopper trust and provide social proof to your brand and products. The reviews feature gives shoppers the familiar experience they trust from Amazon.com—without having to leave your site—while complementing other product review features you might already use.

When merchants add Reviews from Amazon to their site, they have experienced a +38% increase in shopper conversion, on average. This data is from a sample of 8 Buy with Prime merchants with average monthly site traffic between 10k and 1M and compares the number of shoppers who placed an order when Reviews from Amazon was present on a product page versus when it was not, during the same time period.

Any Buy with Prime merchant, who has a US entity and registers with Amazon Brand Registry, with active Amazon product listings that collect product reviews on Amazon.com can activate the Reviews from Amazon feature on the same products that have Buy with Prime activated on their ecommerce site.

Reviews from Amazon is another way we are adding value to the Buy with Prime service, and it will be offered to Buy with Prime merchants for their eligible products without charging an additional fee.

The reviews code renders the overall rating, the rating histogram, and individual reviews provided by Amazon customers.

The self-service order cancellation feature helps reduce return volumes and the inconvenience of manually canceling orders for customers who change their mind. If the order hasn’t shipped, your customers can cancel the order themselves, without having to contact you, and the cancellation is processed automatically in merchant console.

Your customer can cancel their order up until it’s shipped, which is indicated by the status on the customer’s order detail page. After the fulfillment status changes to Shipped, the customer can’t initiate a cancellation.

You’re able to cancel orders directly within the order detail page in merchant console if the order hasn’t shipped. After the fulfillment status changes to Shipped, you can’t initiate a cancellation for the order.

No, the order is not canceled immediately. When a cancellation is initiated, it is a request to cancel and we send the cancellation request to the fulfillment provider. If the fulfillment provider is able to cancel the order, then we notify you and the customer through email if the cancellation was successful or not.

Customers can expect their refund within 3-5 business days after the cancellation has been confirmed.

If your customer doesn’t see the Cancel button next to the order they want to cancel, then we may have already shipped the order. Your customer can confirm if the order has shipped by selecting Track package on the order detail page. If the order has already been shipped, you can initiate a return manually once your customer receives the order.

If a Buy with Prime shipment is delayed, your customer will receive an email notification with a link to the customer order detail page where they can see the latest package status. If a new estimated delivery date is available, this detail will also be included in the email. You can view the latest status along with detailed information on the orders page on the merchant console.

No, shipment tracking is a default service for all Buy with Prime orders.

No, the current shipment tracking service is the only service supported for Buy with Prime orders.

Note: If your customer loses the order confirmation email, you can send a new one using the Contact customer option on the orders page in the merchant console.

You can track your customers’ packages on the orders page in the merchant console.

Your customers are notified by email and on their order detail page if their packages are delayed. You can see shipment status and any delays in a specific order’s detailed view within the orders page in merchant console.

Customers can’t change the delivery address after placing an order.

The shipment time can vary based on carrier, and sometimes packages can be delayed during transit due to unforeseen circumstances. Reasons for delayed delivery include the following, among others:

• Incorrect address
• Missing apartment, building, floor, or unit number
• Severe weather conditions
• International customs procedures

If the package isn’t delivered within seven days after the promised delivery date or estimated delivery date, contact merchant support. Note that orders that are marked as delivered by the carrier aren’t eligible for reimbursement.

If the package information isn’t updated after 3 days, contact the carrier to ensure your package is on the way. If the package is being shipped by Amazon, you can contact merchant support.

Most packages arrive on time, but can sometimes show up after the estimated delivery date. If a package is delayed:

• When a package misses the set cut-off time at the Sort Center or Delivery Station, the package is replanned to determine the new estimated delivery date. After the package is replanned, the new date is communicated to the customer through an email notification and displayed on the Buy with Prime Progress Tracker page.
• Advise your customer to check their order confirmation email or the Order detail page to track the package and see the new estimated delivery date. You can verify the shipment’s status from the Orders page in merchant console.
• Confirm that the customer provided a valid shipping address for the order by checking the Orders page in merchant console. If the shipping address is incorrect, the package’s delivery might be delayed.
• After confirming the order information, wait until the updated estimated delivery date for the package to be delivered. If the package still hasn’t been delivered, the package might be lost. Although it may still arrive, you can go ahead and refund your customer and contact merchant support for a reimbursement.

A package might be returned as undeliverable for several reasons:

• The address is incorrect or outdated. Usually, the carrier stores the package for a period of time, then returns it. Customers should confirm that the shipping address is accurate.
• The Buy with Prime ordering system doesn’t recognize the way that the customer entered the address, or the package was assigned to a carrier that can’t deliver to that address.
• The customer used a restricted address. If you send the order to a prison, correctional facility, or other similar institution, the products or the carrier responsible for delivery might be subject to specific restrictions.
• The carrier attempted delivery, but was unsuccessful. Most carriers make more than one attempt to deliver a package. If the carrier can’t successfully deliver the package, they return it.
• The recipient refused the delivery. A recipient who isn’t expecting a package might refuse a package if they believe that it’s being delivered to them by mistake.
• The package was damaged in transit. If a package is damaged while it’s on its way, the carrier might return it without attempting delivery.

Note: A Buy with Prime package that a carrier returns as undeliverable cannot be re-shipped. A refund is issued in these cases. If your customer still wants to purchase the item, they need to place a new order on your site.

Contact merchant support if the items in your customer’s order are incorrect, missing, or damaged in transit.

The delivery representative might have scanned the package as delivered while it’s still in transit, or delivered it to the wrong address. Wait 48 hours from the time the tracking status changed to “delivered” to see if the package arrives. If 48 hours have passed and the customer has not received the package, contact merchant support.

There might be a delay in processing the events from the carrier. If you have more questions on the status of a package, you can contact the carrier directly or contact merchant support to help trace the package.

If the carrier you are looking for is not on this list, contact merchant support.

In some scenarios, the package status on merchant console isn’t in sync with what your customer sees. You see can see the high-level status and your customers can see the detailed package status.

To investigate a package status:

1. Choose the Order details page.
2. Choose Track shipment.

When a package has a delivery exception such as Delivery Attempted or Delayed, the package status isn’t updated although the item was successfully delivered on the next attempt. To initiate a return, contact merchant support. To learn more about return eligibility, go to Returns.

For packages that won’t arrive by a set cut-off date, we update the Buy with Prime Progress Tracker page with Your package may be lost. Buy with Prime doesn’t use more detailed messaging (for example, to recommend that you cancel the delivery and notify/refund the customer) because we know that some of these packages are actually delivered. We don’t want to risk upsetting the customers and then delivering the package anyway. We know that some packages are delivered without a terminal scan based on feedback from Merchant Support and refund requests that have come in for shipments that never received a scan.

Social Ads for Buy with Prime removes the burden of creating ad campaigns for each Buy with Prime product listing with the Buy with Prime badge. Instead, the app syncs your Meta catalog with the products in your catalog that offer Buy with Prime, automatically applying the Buy with Prime badge. Whether prospecting new customers or remarketing to existing customers, the solution helps you build relevant ads for each shopper.

Social Ads for Buy with Prime is a useful feature to help find new shoppers, as well as for re-engaging shoppers who have already viewed your products but didn’t place an order. Because these ads leverage your Buy with Prime product catalog, they’re also a great feature if you’re just starting out with marketing or if you have limited creative content for building ads.

You can create dynamic social ads featuring the Buy with Prime badge on Facebook and Instagram.

To use Social Ads for Buy with Prime, you need:
● Products offering Buy with Prime: All products in your Buy with Prime catalog that offer Prime can be used for these social ads.
● Active Meta account: Meta syncs with your Buy with Prime product catalog to help you automatically create ads for your products.

Only products you have set up to offer Buy with Prime sync with your Meta catalog and show in your ad campaigns. You must have at least one product synced to your Meta catalog in order for your ad campaigns to run. Make sure you have all of Meta’s required attributes synced from your Buy with Prime catalog, including product descriptions and URLs.

When you set up the app, Meta’s Conversion API is set up automatically to share your order data with Meta. Even if you do not use the app to launch ad campaigns, you can still use the Conversion API to share your Buy with Prime orders with Meta. Note: When you use the Conversion API and Advanced Matching with the Social Ads for Buy with Prime app, the order information you share with Meta will contain your customer’s email address, name, and shipping address. If you also have the Meta Pixel set up for Buy with Prime, you will duplicate sending that order event to Meta, but the Pixel order information will not include these fields. To help avoid Meta treating your Conversion API event as redundant and discarding these fields during its deduplication process, we recommend not using Meta Pixel for Buy with Prime while you use Conversion API and Advanced Matching.

You are responsible for writing the copy that accompanies social ads for your Buy with Prime product listings. Refer to the Buy with Prime brand guidelines in the Marketing section of merchant console for brand and messaging guidance.

You can choose to either remarket ads to people who interacted with your products or brand on or off Facebook or Instagram or to find prospective customers even if they haven’t interacted with your business. Both are useful strategies that can also be expanded when you select the option to “Reach people beyond these targeting selections when it’s likely to improve performance.” Doing so can help place your ads beyond your core audience to reach viewers who might improve your return on ad spend (ROAS).

You can choose to show your ads on Facebook, Instagram, or both.

Your social campaign results measure the following metrics:
● Spend: Cost of running a campaign.
● Impressions: The number of times a shopper has viewed an ad.
● Clicks: The number of times a shopper has clicked on an ad.
●Orders: The number of orders placed through the native checkout on your site and through your Buy with Prime checkout resulting from the campaigns that you’re running. Note: Orders are reported by Meta and may not match the total orders you see reported on the merchant console or on your ecommerce site.
● Sales: Income generated from an order, measured by Price x Units. This total includes sales through the native checkout on your ecommerce site and through your Buy with Prime checkout.
● Return on ad spend (ROAS): The effectiveness of your marketing, which is measured by sales/spend, including sales through the native checkout on your ecommerce site and through your Buy with Prime checkout.

No. Tax support resources don’t constitute tax, legal, or other professional advice. And any of the resources in merchant console or the knowledge center should not be used as such. Tax support and related information is strictly a resource to help you manage Buy with Prime tax settings. All tax-related questions beyond how Buy with Prime tax settings work, should be directed to your professional tax advisor.

No, Buy with Prime is not a marketplace facilitator, and isn’t responsible for handling sales tax collection, filing, and remittance on your behalf. By selling through Buy with Prime, you’re responsible for identifying where you have obligations to collect, file, or remit taxes and performing such activities in accordance with those obligations.

If live access to automated tax rates isn’t available, sales tax for an order is calculated using a repository of average tax rates provided by the third-party service provider that is updated at least monthly. The average tax rate for each affected order is determined by the state of the shipping address.

You’re responsible for configuring taxes to be compliant with your tax obligations. It’s up to you and your business to decide whether you should set up taxes or not. To prevent not charging sales tax on orders that do need sales tax collection, remember to set up taxes before you launch the Buy with Prime widget. Note: Setting up taxes and activating your Buy with Prime orders to charge sales tax isn’t a mandatory step for merchants prior to launching Buy with Prime.

Pixels are strings of code that are loaded when users visit and interact with website pages, such as when placing an order. Advertising pixels share interaction data with ad channels so interactions can be attributed to specific ad campaigns, helping advertisers measure and better understand ad performance and return on ad spend

Using both tools allows you to share more order data with Meta, which can help boost attribution rates for your ad campaigns. The Meta Conversion API sends orders server-to-server, while the Meta Pixel sends orders browser-to-server. You can set up both Meta Conversion API and Meta Pixel by setting up the Social Ads for Buy with Prime app. You can set up Meta Pixel only by adding your Pixel ID to the merchant console.

When sharing Buy with Prime order data with your advertising channels, conversion tracking tools send your ecommerce site URL as the order URL and the SKU as the product ID. If you use Advanced Matching for Meta or Google Enhanced Conversion API, you send Buy with Prime customers’ names, email addresses, phone numbers, and shipping addresses, so confirm that your privacy notice explains that you share customer information for advertising purposes. You can check your settings with the specific advertising channels to learn more about the type of information that you share when you set up conversion tracking.

If certain state privacy laws* apply to your business, your customers may have the right to opt out of your sale or sharing of their personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. You can set restrictions for how customers’ personal information may be used by Meta by turning on the privacy setting to send a Limited Data Use flag for all of your Buy with Prime orders. This setting can be found by choosing Access your privacy settings when setting up your advertising IDs.

This setting only applies to your Buy with Prime orders and doesn’t affect other pixel events for your site. For Google Ads, visit the Privacy and Messaging section on the Google Ads console to learn about turning on Google’s restricted data processing. For Amazon Ads, your customers can manage their preferences on Amazon.com. We don’t provide legal advice about which laws may apply to your business, but you can consult with a legal professional to guide you.
*Includes: California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA).

If you want to track Buy with Prime orders separately in Google Ads, you can choose to create a new separate purchase conversion label for Buy with Prime conversions in the Social Ads for Buy with Prime app. Alternatively, you can create a separate purchase conversion label in the Google Ads console and enter that purchase conversion label into the Buy with Prime console. On Meta Ads, you can’t separate Buy with Prime orders from your ecommerce site orders.

Using both tools allows you to share more customer data with Google, which can help boost attribution rates for your ad campaigns. The Google Enhanced Conversion API sends orders server-to-server and shares more customer data with Google, while the Google Ads pixel sends orders browser-to-server. You can set up both solutions by setting up the Social Ads for Buy with Prime app. You can set up Google Ads pixel only by adding your Google Ads conversion ID and purchase conversion label to the merchant console.

You receive results halfway through each test and at the end of the test. An A/B test typically lasts about 3–5 weeks, which is the average amount of time typically needed to capture statistically significant results. Additional tests on updated versions of your site or experience may be necessary to capture additional learnings and find the best-performing version.
