There are many Shopify users who have products that they would like to sell on Amazon as well. Can you add products from Amazon to your Shopify store?
The answer is no, you cannot add products from Amazon to your Shopify store. However, there are a few workaround methods that you can use in order to list your products on Amazon.
The first method is to use a third-party app such as Oberlo. Oberlo allows you to add products from AliExpress (which is owned by Alibaba, the same company that owns Amazon) to your Shopify store.
First, Amazon products are often subject to change or discontinuation without notice. This means that the product you add to your store could suddenly become unavailable, leaving you with an empty space on your shelves.
Second, Amazon products are not always compatible with Shopify’s shipping and fulfillment options. This can lead to delays and frustration for your customers if they are not able to receive their items in a timely manner.
Finally, it is important to note that Shopify’s terms of service prohibit the sale of certain types of products on their platform. Be sure to check the terms of service before adding any Amazon products to your store, as you could be subject to penalties if you are found in violation.
Once you have added the products to your store, you can then create a listing on Amazon for each of the products. When someone buys the product on Amazon, Oberlo will automatically send the order to your supplier and they will ship the product directly to the customer.
Another method is to use a dropshipping service such as Dropified. Dropified integrates with Shopify and allows you to add products from various dropshipping suppliers, including AliExpress.
You can then create listings on Amazon for each of the products in your store. When someone buys the product on Amazon, Dropified will automatically send the order to the supplier and they will ship the product directly to the customer.
Both of these methods require a bit of work upfront, but they will allow you to list your products on Amazon and fulfill orders automatically.
