Amazon has announced a major update to its Buy with Prime service by integrating PayPal as a payment option. This means that Prime members can now use PayPal for checkouts when shopping on third-party websites that have integrated the Buy with Prime API. This move enhances convenience for users who prefer PayPal’s widely used payment system while shopping with their Prime benefits.
Starting next year, Amazon plans to further streamline the process by allowing customers to link their PayPal and Amazon accounts, ensuring Prime benefits are automatically applied during PayPal transactions. This development follows the substantial growth of Buy with Prime, which has seen a 45% increase in orders year-over-year. Brands like Dollar Shave Club and IZOD have joined the service, further boosting its adoption.
By expanding payment options and adding new features, Amazon is clearly positioning Buy with Prime as a more attractive solution for both merchants and shoppers, giving customers more flexibility in how they pay for their purchases.
