LAS VEGAS – Prosper Show is in the books and Amazon was there in full force. Many of our brands were on hand to help Amazon Sellers learn about our offerings and what we can do to improve their operations and fuel their growth.

“If there’s one constant about ecommerce sellers, it’s that they are always pursuing new and better ways to run their businesses,” said Rebecca Salt, director at Amazon. “The show was three packed days of hearing their enthusiasm and sharing what Amazon can do to help.”

Whether you stopped by our booths or missed us, here’s a look at how Amazon is creating efficiencies and opportunities for sellers.

Amazon Shipping
Every business needs agility when it comes to package shipping. Amazon has that option with Amazon Shipping, a small package ground delivery service available to Amazon selling partners. With it, you can ship your Amazon orders, as well as those from your website and other selling channels. Backed by Amazon’s reliable transportation network, Amazon Shipping offers fast shipping in two to five days (limitations apply) with low-cost rates. Pickup and delivery is available seven days a week, with no weekend delivery fees or residential surcharges. Sellers can worry less, with end-to-end tracking and photo on delivery, and spend more time growing their business.

Fulfilled by Merchant and Veeqo
It can be difficult to store inventory, pack and ship products, and handle returns or refunds, all while staying on top of delivering top-notch customer service. That’s where Amazon’s Fulfilled by Merchant (FBM) comes in. The team designs order fulfillment features to help you reach millions of customers faster and more affordably. FBM can help you automate your order fulfillment and save on shipping costs. If you sell on more marketplaces than Amazon, you’ll want to check out Veeqo – a free multichannel shipping software where you can access the lowest commercially available rates, based on pre-negotiated pricing from UPS, USPS, FedEx, and DHL and up to 5% back with Veeqo Credits.

Amazon Freight
Shippers need their products hauled and Amazon Freight can help. Simply put, Amazon Freight is Amazon’s external trucking service. By tapping into the larger Amazon network and its 50,000+ trailers, Amazon Freight utilizes empty miles for shippers. That translates into competitive rates for you and less miles driven for the environment. All shipments are done in Amazon’s 53-foot dry vans and are tracked with GPS. You can ship full truckload inbound to Amazon’s facilities or even externally to your own. Learn more about our offerings and start quoting and booking right away by creating an account.

Amazon Selling Partner API
Over one million Amazon Sellers worldwide use apps built with Selling Partner APIs (SP-API) to automate their businesses. SP-API helps sellers programmatically access their data on orders, shipments, payments, and much more. Applications using SP-API can increase selling efficiency, reduce labor requirements, and improve response time to customers, helping to grow your business. Vetted third-party developers can integrate with SP-API and offer their applications and software solutions to sellers via the Amazon Selling Partner Appstore. With more than 2,500 Amazon-approved third-party apps, you can optimize your product listings, manage your inventory, and more. Learn more here.

Amazon Payments
Amazon Seller Wallet and the Amazon Currency Converter for Sellers allow you greater flexibility and control in managing your funds within Seller Central.

Amazon Seller Wallet gives you the ability to store the proceeds from your U.S. store, transfer any amount to multiple bank accounts, and convert funds to more than 20 currencies. You can also send U.S. dollar payments to suppliers and business partners with a U.S. or Hong Kong bank account, directly from your Seller Wallet. There’s no cost or minimum amount required to enroll and account maintenance is free.

Amazon Currency Converter for Sellers (ACCS) provides seamless conversion of global proceeds from Seller Central directly to your bank account. Available in 19 Amazon stores globally and supporting 44 currencies, ACCS opens a world of opportunity to expand your business.

Amazon Ships in Product Packaging
Have you ever wanted to have your brand be at the forefront of an Amazon delivery package and lower your FBA fulfillment costs? With the Amazon Ships in Product Packaging program, sellers who use Fulfillment by Amazon have the opportunity to test and qualify products to ship in their own custom-brand packaging without any Amazon-added material.

This enables sellers to promote their brands and provide a better customer experience through minimizing the packaging used for delivery. It also can reduce the costs associated with fulfillment and can help to lower the carbon footprint of deliveries. Until next year, thanks to all the sellers who visited us at the show and to the Prosper team for another excellent event. We hope to see you next year.
