Overview

• Allows users to add products directly to their Amazon cart from Twitter

• Amazon claims Twitter isn’t receiving payment for this service/transaction

• User replies are public. If users tweet‐to‐cart products that are best kept private or are socially embarrassing, they will have to delete tweets later

Page 35: Amazon and Twitter Launch: #AmazonCart

Summary: Pros

• Very fast/responsive (almost instantaneous)• Prevents unintended repeat addition of products, but only from unique tweets

• Keeps users within Twitter environment• Increases product visibility through replies and hashtag

Page 36: Amazon and Twitter Launch: #AmazonCart

Summary: Cons

• Does not trigger purchase; Amazon customer must log in and complete transaction: no automatic conversion (but does drop users into the Amazon sales funnel)

• Supports multiple products in a single tweet but user experience is a little clunky

• More work than clicking link in Twitter and adding to cart within Amazon (requires typing hashtag + optional tweet)
