I havent seen much from Amzn to counter the threat of Shopify(with FB/IG in the background pulling strings). Does anyone know how Amazon plans to counter this threat? My analogy of Amazon vs Shopify is Walmart vs Nordstrom. Granted they can co-exist but Amzn is a company that goes after every penny in the consumer’s wallet so its surprising to see them not react to the threat. #ecommerce #amazon #shopify #dtc
Amazon is competing with Shopify by becoming a marketplace rather than a retailer. There are lots of small sellers on Amazon selling literally everything.
Amazon used to compete directly years ago but pulled out. In fact Amazon and eBay both used recommend Shopify when they exited that segment.
Not just recommend but webstore merchants were actually given Shopify credit to help them offboard.
We're both ecommerce but other than that we don't have a lot in common. Amazon cares about the customer, we care about the seller. We're focused on different parts of the ecom pie - and Amazon's will always be bigger.
That’s sneaky way to keeping competitor( AMZN) blind sided. The one who address the hard problem own the e-commerce market - here Shopify works on harder problem
Not necessarily true. Amazon has a team gearing up more to accommodate the seller.
It's hard to compete, especially with Next Day delivery from Prime and same from Walmart. Those 2 will always be dominant.
Sears would like a word with you.
These conviniences come at a cost. Is eat to compete when you can offer product cheaper
What about eBay?
Shopify’s success is inflated by all the pyramid get-rich-quick schemes that tell you to go open a shopify store and do dropshipping. Once the FTC steps in, it will crash and burn.
I think the online shopping market is big enough for there to be multiple major players. I like Amazon but I sure hope I never live in a world where there is only one company. Competition is good.
Amazon Webstore was a healthy competitor to Shopify but was deprecated in 2015. I joined Amazon as part of the Webstore org. We helped move all the Webstore marketplaces to Shopify. https://www.vox.com/2015/3/18/11560456/amazon-will-shut-down-amazon-webstore-its-competitor-to-shopify-and
Who?
Probably what Barnes & Noble said when Amazon IPO-ed.
Didn’t knew Barnes and nobles was ever at the top (in terms of growth, valuation and future prospects)
