Wix Announces Amazon
Multi-Channel Fulfillment App for Fast & Easy Order Processing
Wix.com Ltd. a leading global SaaS platform to create, manage
and grow an online presence, today announced a new integration with
Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfillment (MCF)
that allows Wix eCommerce merchants to easily fulfill
their eCommerce orders using Amazon's order fulfillment services with one- and
two-day shipping needs.
Wix eCommerce merchants in the
US, whether they sell on Amazon or not, can download the Amazon MCF app to
their Wix store and more easily access Amazon's fulfillment network,
operational expertise, lower fulfillment costs and order delivery in as fast as
1 day. Once merchants integrate, their customers will automatically see
shipping speed options and real-time delivery dates from Amazon. This
integration reduces the complexities business owners face fulfilling orders on
their own and opens the door for them to easily scale and focus on their
growth.
"We're constantly improving
our platform to accommodate rising needs of business owners and to help them
increase their Gross Payment Volume (GPV)," said Arik Perez, Head of
Wix eCommerce. "Today, seamless shipping and delivery are essential for
businesses to succeed. In partnering with Amazon MCF, Wix merchants can be
assured that top-of-the-line packing, handling and fast shipping is at their
fingertips, which ultimately boosts the potential growth of their
business."
Key benefits for Wix eCommerce
merchants using the Amazon MCF app include:
- Fast shipping: Wix
merchants can now fulfill orders 24/7, 365 days a year, with 1-day, 2-day and
3-5 business day delivery.
- Reliable service: Leverage Amazon MCF's best-in-class fulfillment
network with over 200 fulfillment centers and better than 97% on-time delivery
rate.
- Upfront delivery promises: To improve sales conversion, Wix merchants can
display delivery promises at checkout, providing customers with insight into
when they will receive their order.
- Competitive pricing: With MCF, Wix merchants only pay for fulfillment and storage, no
commitment or app installation fees. Fulfillment fees are fully inclusive of
pick, pack and ship.
- Simplified operations: Automatic inventory placement gives Wix merchants
the power to get products closer to customers and scale to meet seasonal spikes
without increasing fixed costs.
- Customized shipping price rules: Wix merchants have full control over the cost of
shipping for customers and are able to replace the Amazon rate with flat rate
or free shipping options (e.g., Free shipping on orders over $49).
- Fully trackable orders: To keep customers of Wix stores informed at every
stage of shipping, Wix merchants are able to easily share shipment confirmation
and tracking details for any carrier.
"We're continually listening
to merchants and working backwards from their needs to develop solutions that
help them delight more customers. The new Multi-Channel Fulfillment app easily
integrates with Wix stores to help merchants make critical improvements to
their customer experience, such as providing shoppers accurate delivery dates
at checkout, automatic tracking emails, and on-time, low-cost delivery,"
said Gopal Pillai, Vice President of Amazon Fulfillment and Distribution
Solutions. "With Multi-Channel Fulfillment, we make fulfillment so easy
and seamless that merchants can focus more time on the growth and success of
their business."
This integration joins
Wix's existing support for Amazon
where merchants can expand their sales strategy by connecting their Wix
eCommerce store to sell on Amazon. Amazon MCF and Amazon Shop are available to
Wix eCommerce merchants in the US.
