Amazon AMZN is leaving no stone unturned to drive its Prime momentum on the back of perks, facilities, services and exciting offers.

The latest tie-up with Shopify SHOP to integrate the Buy with Prime app into the latter’s platform testifies to the aforesaid fact.

Amazon has unveiled the Buy with Prime app for Shopify, which will enable Prime members to avail various Prime benefits like quick and free delivery and easy returns while shopping from Shopify stores or merchants.

More precisely, the latest integration will allow Prime shoppers to pay for their Shopify purchases using Amazon Wallet, which will get processed by Shopify Payments through Shopify’s Checkout.

The Buy with Prime integration is not only enticing for Prime members but also for various Shopify merchants, as it provides them with a good opportunity to grow their businesses by expanding their reach to Prime members.

The latest move is likely to boost Amazon Prime’s momentum. Allowing customers to shop from Shopify stores seamlessly while enjoying Prime perks, is likely to boost Prime adoption.

It is expected to aid the e-commerce giant in gaining strong traction among the various merchants.
