Introduction to WebStore by Amazon
Overview
WebStore by Amazon lets you create an independent WebStore to sell products using
pre-existing inventory information from Amazon.com. Your WebStore becomes your
storefront on the Internet.
Your storefront, branded with your logo and colors, displays just the products you sell.
Customers can add products to their shopping cart as easily as they do on Amazon.com.
At checkout, payment transactions are handled by Amazon.com as well. You process
orders and shipments, and receive your settlements, just like you do on Amazon.com.
WebStore by Amazon and Your Products on Amazon.com
Information about your inventory, including products and in-stock quantities, is always
stored in the Amazon.com catalog. When customers browse Amazon.com, they see your
products through the Amazon.com interface including the familiar tabs, the product detail
pages, along with browse and search features.
When you create a WebStore by Amazon, it displays just the products you select from
Amazon.com. This custom WebStore uses your branding, colors, and other information.
With WebStore, you can:
• Manage inventory on Amazon.com through the Seller Central Inventory tab.
• Manage your WebStore through the Seller Central Store Design tab.
• Use your own domain—www.mystore.com, for example—to display your
WebStore.
