Can You Sell on Both Amazon and Shopify?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 9:48 pm

It’s a common question that online entrepreneurs ask – can you sell on both Amazon and Shopify?

The answer is yes, you can! In fact, many businesses do just that. Selling on both Amazon and Shopify gives you the best of both worlds – the reach and visibility of Amazon, with the flexibility and control of Shopify.

PRO TIP: There are a few things to be aware of if you’re considering selling on both Amazon and Shopify. First, Amazon has a very strict set of guidelines that you must follow in order to sell on their platform. If you don’t follow their guidelines, you could be suspended or even banned from selling on Amazon. Second, Shopify has a different set of rules and regulations that you must follow in order to sell on their platform. Make sure you’re familiar with both before you start selling on either platform. Finally, it’s important to remember that selling on both Amazon and Shopify requires two different skill sets. If you’re not good at marketing or managing inventory, you’ll likely struggle to succeed on both platforms.

Of course, there are some things to keep in mind if you’re going to sell on both platforms. Here are a few tips:

  • Start with Shopify. While it’s possible to set up an Amazon store without a website, it’s much easier to start with Shopify. This will give you a solid foundation for your business, including a professional-looking website, branding, product photos, and more. Plus, it’ll be easier to connect your Shopify store to Amazon later on.
  • Choose the right products. Not all products are a good fit for Amazon.

    If you’re selling products that are easily found in brick-and-mortar stores (like books or DVDs), or if your margins are very low, then selling on Amazon probably isn’t worth your time. On the other hand, if you have unique products with high margins, then Amazon could be a great sales channel for you.

  • Price competitively. On Amazon, price is everything. If you’re not competitive on price, you’re not going to make many sales. This means that you may have to sacrifice some margin in order to stay competitive.

Selling on both Amazon and Shopify can be a great way to grow your online business. Just be sure to keep these tips in mind as you get started.
