ah you beat me to it, yes this is a great addition to our service!

Holy smokes! How did you guys pull this one off? Nice going!

This is very interesting.

Is it fair to assume amazon approved this?

guys u rock

Well what does this mean? Can I buy any stuff listed on Amazon with Bitcoin now? Or just a small percentage of stuff? How much stuff then?

I think it means, you as a merchant, can sell your stuff through amazon (look up FBA with them) and then with the wordpress plugin you can take payment directly with bitcoin then have them ship your merchandise. It looks to me like you can only ship what you own in an Amazon warehouse. Can this be confirmed?

Correct, at least that's what the article says. A huge step in the right direction though.

YOURE GREAT !!!!!

This is correct.

If you are a seller and have inventory in Amazon's warehouses, you can sell them item yourself, on your own website, and have Amazon ship the merchandise. 

Infinite Awesome.

You bitpay guys are a bunch of magnificent bastahds! :)

You may want to check out the Fulfillment By Amazon Youtube Channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/FulfillmentbyAmazon/videos?view=0). Very surprised they are not on Bitpay's Amazon page (https://bitpay.com/amazon). The video on exporting is particularly complimentary with Bitcoin.

This is also going to have some interesting effects for creative entrepreneurs.

This issue of tax, particularly a potential national sales tax in the US, is extremely important in the context of Amazon's FBA. A creative entrepreneur will be able to route around it pretty easily which will allow arbitrage opportunity in price for customers. It will be increasingly difficult for the larger targets, like Amazon, to maintain their margins especially while having credit card fees, chargebacks and PCI compliance. But by decentralizing the merchants but still having centralized warehousing and fulfillment it is a potential route around; particularly for non-US persons.

Exciting times!

I thought gold will go to stratosphere...... :o

Very cool. Two of the main things I spend money on in the same week moving to Bitcoin.

I e-mailed my mortgage broker to ask if they will take payments in bitcoin just for the trifecta. :P


Edit: Response from my mortgage company. No Bitcoin support...darn.

adding the video links shortly...thanks

EDIT: Done!

Awesome, great job. And your plans to "have jobs open to hire 5 people (https://bitpay.com/careers). One of those new hires will be responsible for adding this functionality to the 12 other plugins we have now." is epic!

You guys are awesome... you're backdooring Amazon!

Good job bitpay!

Now, if I happen to live in Irak, I expect the order to fail because Amazon would reject it, right?

This is paving the way for mainstream use of bitcoin. It's an exciting time.

I am looking forward to this. I hope to one day be able to easily SPEND my btc on stuff I want, and not feel like I have to sell on an exchange and then just buy in USD.

I guess you meant Iran because of trade sanctions...? In that case, let's not discuss it in public, as discussion can hurt the efforts.

Cool! What next ebay? Oh wait they cant take all the money for themselves, nevermind.

Ah yes Iran. Agreed.

Sounds great! Is there anywhere we can see which merchants have adopted this?

BitPay Integrates Bitcoin with Fulfillment by Amazon

Does this still work?

This is very upsetting.

If this kind of thing persists, there is a real danger that Bitcoin will achieve mass adoption. If this happens, I will need to find some other way to feel smarter than the masses.

Seriously - great work guys :)

dont really understand how does it work :/

Well done, and thank you very much for your contributions to the Bitcoin community.

This is huge, and the timing couldn't be better for my business.

We were just considering switching to a WordPress infrastructure for our online business, and away from Magento as our shopping cart.

We were also in talks to scrap our fulfillment service and switch to Amazon fulfillment instead.  They've got warehouses all over the USA and nobody can do logistics and fulfillment better.

More importantly, they allow you to offer Amazon Prime to your customers, and this completely eliminates shipping fees.

With the US Postal service more than doubling their rates over the last couple years, this is huge.

Super excited about this.

What am I missing...?

It's not huge, it's not even slightly significant.    This service isn't approved by amazon.

Basically I pay bitcoin to Bitpay.  Then Bitpay place the order on Amazon on my behalf, most likely making their money off amazon referral fee.  

Bitpay is still using credit cards/amazon vouchers to complete their purchase, amazon still skimming their 12%, credit card companies still get their few % cut, now it's just another man in the middle, taking a cut of the cost.

This isn't new, someone was already doing it with both ebay and amazon and it won't be that popular i assure you.

If you're not a merchant currently entertaining the idea of using Amazon Fulfillment like we are, it probably isn't exciting news to you.
As for it not being huge to the whole universe ... baby steps are better than no progress at all, yeah?

This is an old thread from 1 year ago. Stop bumping it to spread false good news.

I actually did NOT spot that.
