Amazon Marketplace Integration with WhatSales

Amazon is the world’s largest online marketplace, serving hundreds of millions of active customers across nearly every retail category. Founded in 1994, it has grown from an online bookstore into a global eCommerce leader, offering everything from electronics and clothing to groceries, home improvement, and cloud services.

For sellers, Amazon represents unmatched scale and reach. With more than 200 million Prime members and a presence in multiple countries, it provides instant access to one of the most loyal and high-spending customer bases worldwide.

When Amazon Became a Marketplace

Amazon opened its platform to third-party sellers in 2000. Since then, it has transformed into a hybrid model where independent businesses can sell alongside Amazon’s own products. Today, third-party sellers account for over half of all items sold on Amazon.

This makes Amazon not just a retailer but a powerful marketplace where sellers of all sizes can scale their business, build visibility, and reach global customers.
