After offering books, music, movies<\/strong> and even online servers, Amazon is getting ready to roll out yet another offering to its ever expanding portfolio: subscriptions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Aptly named Subscribe with Amazon<\/a>, the online marketplace\u2019s latest venture is hoping to be the one-stop shop for all of your online subscription needs<\/strong>. Here\u2019s what you need to know about Amazon\u2019s latest offering.<\/p>\n

What is Subscribe with Amazon?<\/h2>\n

Subscribe with Amazon is a subsection of Amazon that deals exclusively with subscription-based services or content<\/strong>. Some of the more notable services\/content available on the platform as of the time of writing includes cloud storage service Dropbox Plus, online newspaper The Wall Street Journal, and TV streaming service Sling TV<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Available subscriptions are all sorted into categories<\/strong>, so you can find a service or content that suits you rather easily.<\/p>\n

The benefits of using Subscribe with Amazon <\/h2>\n

For starters, Amazon users will be given a dashboard that would allow them to control all of their subscriptions<\/strong> done via Subscribe with Amazon. Additionally, as all subscriptions are done through Amazon, you won\u2019t have to key in your information<\/strong> (credit card, billing, etc.) across multiple sites.<\/p>\n

\"subscription<\/figure>\n

Besides convenience, Amazon has mentioned that it intends to offer promotions on Subscribe with Amazon as well<\/strong>, so those who are always on the lookout for a deal may find some decent ones here in the future.<\/p>\n

Subscribe with Amazon pricing<\/h2>\n

When it comes to the pricing of subscriptions, Amazon has explicitly stated that the companies offering this service will be free to set the prices<\/strong> for the subscriptions. Should they choose to do so, they can even offer special prices to users with active Amazon Prime accounts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"amazon<\/figure>\n

Needless to say, Amazon will take a cut of the subscription from the company. For the subscriber\u2019s first year, Amazon will receive a 30% cut of the subscription<\/strong>. After the first year, Amazon will take only a 15% cut for every subsequent year<\/strong> that the subscriber pays for.<\/p>\n

Subscribe with Amazon requirements for companies<\/h2>\n

Unsurprisingly, those interested in having their service\/content available on Subscribe with Amazon must fulfills three requirements<\/strong>. Thankfully, they aren\u2019t too hard to achieve.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The subscription product must be a digital app<\/strong>, a website, or a piece of software. <\/li>\n
  2. Company in question must have a business address in the United States<\/strong>, so those who do not operate in the States will not be able to use Subscribe with Amazon.<\/li>\n
  3. The service\/content being offered requires the customer to pay a recurring fee in order to access<\/strong>. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \"pay<\/figure>\n

    How to get on Subscribe with Amazon <\/h2>\n

    Assuming a company manages to fulfill all of the requirements<\/strong>, the said company can choose to apply to get on Subscribe with Amazon with this application form<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Should Amazon accept the application, the company will gain access to a self-service<\/strong> portal where they can set up their product page<\/strong>. It is here that the company will decide on the tiers and pricing of the subscription.<\/p>\n

    \"gain<\/figure>\n

    Overall, Subscribe with Amazon looks to be a highly promising venture<\/strong> for both Amazon as well as startups that are offering subscription-based services or content.<\/p>\n

    As of the time of writing, it appears that a large chunk of the subscriptions, but not all of them, is geographically restricted to the US only<\/strong>, so those living outside of the States will find very little use of the platform right now.<\/p>\n
