Selling on Amazon Made Easy :
Magento Extension vs. M2E Pro

Every Magento user and store owner on the world’s most popular eCommerce platform dreams of selling on the world’s most popular marketplace – Amazon. These are not just dreams, but having your presence on Amazon has now become a necessity.

Marketing your website thoroughly, creating a personalized experience, attracting new and right customers, etc. is not an easy task at all. Therefore, integrating Magento eStore with Amazon is exceptionally crucial in upscaling sales and marketing of the business. It not only gives all the added features the eCommerce giant has to offer, but also provides you with a wider reach and global presence. It just takes a single integration between Magento and Amazon for your dreams to come true.

But again, selling on Amazon isn’t a walk in the park. It comes with several challenges handling both Magento and Amazon from the same instance.

Common challenges merchants face while selling on Amazon:

  • Category restrictions – Getting approval for selling in a particular category can be tough.
  • Customer returns – Managing customer returns is chaotic, considering additional tasks after the product is returned, i.e., re-packaging, re-selling, and so on.
  • Changing sales tax laws – Adhering to every state’s tax laws that keep changing from time to time is not an easy task.
  • Order fulfillment – If you are selling through the Amazon FBA program, fulfilling orders can be easy; however, managing product reviews and associated seller feedback is not always related to you but may affect customer choices adversely.
  • Excessive competition and pricing issues – Dealing with extreme competition leads to several pricing and strategy changes.

Below are two options to integrate Magento with Amazon:

OPTION 1: Magento Amazon Sales Channel

OPTION 2: M2EPro

What is Magento Amazon Sales Channel?

Magento Amazon Sales Channel is an extension provided by Magento that enables merchants to sell on Amazon seamlessly. The integration between Amazon Seller Central Account and Magento allows both automation & synchronization of product and order data and much more.
