A2X and Buy With Prime on Shopify Integration: Accurate Accounting Across Platforms

A2X’s integration with Shopify is designed for accuracy – meaning that A2X can capture all Shopify transaction types, even those from newer payment gateways.

In 2023, Shopify announced several partnerships aimed at broadening the horizons for its merchants, including collaborations with TikTok and Amazon’s Buy With Prime. 

These partnerships are designed to seamlessly integrate external sales channels into the Shopify ecosystem, enhancing the versatility and reach of Shopify merchants. 

A2X is committed to adapting to Shopify’s new partnerships to continue to ensure sellers have accurate, reliable ways to reconcile their payouts. Read on to learn more about how A2X works with Buy with Prime.

Introducing Buy With Prime for Shopify

The Buy With Prime for Shopify app represents a significant leap forward for sellers utilizing both Shopify and Amazon’s powerful Buy With Prime service. 

The integration allows Shopify merchants to accept payments via Amazon’s trusted payment system, benefiting from the Amazon fulfillment network’s efficiency, including potential next-day delivery. It not only opens up a new payment gateway for Shopify merchants but also leverages Amazon’s robust delivery system to enhance the customer experience.

How Buy With Prime works across Amazon and Shopify 

When a customer makes a purchase through the Buy With Prime option on a Shopify store, the order is distinctly marked with a “Buy With Prime” tag within Shopify’s order management system. Shopify records the gross sale and its own payment fees, leaving out Amazon’s fees and identifiers, which are reconciled through the Shopify Payments gateway. This setup keeps Shopify’s financial data distinct.

On the Amazon side, the sale is recorded for logistical purposes and shows a $0.00 sale to reflect the transaction’s flow through Shopify. It includes details of the Prime Service Fee and Prime Fulfillment Fee but lacks the gross total sale amount or any Shopify-specific financial information or reference numbers.

This method ensures logistical fees are tracked by Amazon, while Shopify manages the main transaction and fees, streamlining the integration for merchants using both services.

A2X enhances Buy with Prime efficiency

Although the Buy With Prime for Shopify app introduces a world of new customer experience opportunities, it also brings familiar accounting challenges. Sellers receive payouts from Amazon that need to be reconciled, tying orders and transaction details from both Shopify and Amazon.

A2X addresses this challenge head-on by automatically grouping these orders, facilitating a streamlined reconciliation process within the merchant’s accounting software.

• Within the mapping page in A2X for Shopify, merchants have the option to map the Buy With Prime Shopify categories.
• Your A2X for Shopify entry will then separate the Buy With Prime transactions from other payment sources, posting them to your chosen accounts (selected within the mapping page).
• Additionally, you can map the Buy With Prime fees from Amazon on your A2X for Amazon mapping page.
