What's the Problem? - How to Find Solutions?
Buying online with Amazon, This gives consumers a much broader access and ability to find the latest deals and promotions than visiting a physical shop. The website is constantly improving its features and content, so consumers are offered even more variety and choice when buying from such websites. This eCommerce solution from Amazon gives you both a shopping cart and payment gateway. There are many features of the system such as shopping carts, multiple payment options, multiple delivery options and tax calculations.
With this type of payment system, shoppers can simply fill in an item details into the shopping cart and leave it. With the payment gateway, details of the payment process happen on the seller's website. After the details are filled, they're directed back to the website where Amazon has calculated the shipping costs for the consumers. This allows consumers to compare the various shipping options available, including the shipping fee's. The seller also has a choice to have the customer do all the billing and payment details in order to complete their purchase, which is called the full payment method. This option gives the buyer added flexibility in terms of payments.
The same payment process takes place online for the sellers. Details of the transaction are sent to Amazon for processing and they'll either confirm the sale or decline. Details of the sale are sent to the seller and the customer. Here, the seller can either confirm the order or decline. If the seller confirms, the customer is charged the price specified in the cart. If the seller declines, the customer is charged the lesser amount, usually $0.01 to $0.25. The seller then ships the order and customer receives the product as soon as it reaches Amazon. In the case of sales, the customer gets the item as soon as the product reaches Amazon.
So how does the full payment process work? A seller who has a product on Amazon can simply set up a "shipping & fulfilment" account where the product will be stored and shipped to the customers. Details of the account would be the address and billing information. The customer will need to fill in the cart details and details of the payment process. The shipping address has to be within the seller's area and charges should be included in the cart. Amazon would charge the buyer a handling fee that will be deducted from the item price. Details of the handling fee is the total fee that varies depending on the type of shipping & fulfilment options chosen.
The system is also very simple. A seller can either choose to ship via regular UPS or FedEx or by air. With regular UPS, you'd need to provide information from your customers regarding the product quantity and location. The information of the product cannot be changed and cannot be provided to Amazon in any way. It can be sold by your customer for up to £25 (not including shipping) and then the seller charges a flat £3 per item to the customer.
All this can be set up within 30 minutes after signing up for one of the third-party sellers. The only thing you need to have is an internet connection to handle the data transfer.
