Amazon Announces Buy with Prime Integration with Salesforce Commerce Cloud
Amazon has announced the Buy with Prime for Salesforce Commerce Cloud integration. This solution helps Salesforce merchants seamlessly integrate Buy with Prime into their existing shopping experience. Buy with Prime for Salesforce also offers merchants several new features, including the ability for shoppers to search and filter for Prime eligible items, and purchase Prime eligible and other items in the same order.
This integration helps Salesforce merchants connect with new shoppers and increase conversion by offering the convenient shopping benefits of Prime, including fast, free delivery, a trusted checkout experience, 24/7 live chat support, and hassle-free returns. Buy with Prime for Salesforce will start rolling out today as an invitation only to select Salesforce merchants, and it will be available to all U.S. based Salesforce Commerce Cloud merchants via the Salesforce AppExchange later this year.
“The Buy with Prime integration with Salesforce Commerce Cloud empowers merchants to offer their shoppers a new yet familiar purchasing option directly within their digital storefronts,” said Peter Larsen, Amazon vice president of Buy with Prime. “Now with new features that build Buy with Prime seamlessly into search, cart, and checkout, Salesforce merchants have even more flexibility and functionality to provide Buy with Prime while maintaining control over their stores’ look and feel.”
“Buy with Prime for Salesforce Commerce Cloud builds on our efforts to help ecommerce businesses drive profitable growth and superior shopping experiences,” said Michael Affronti, Salesforce senior vice president and general manager of Commerce Cloud. “As companies look to scale and drive brand loyalty among new and returning shoppers, Buy with Prime offers Salesforce merchants a powerful tool to attract millions of Prime members and grow their businesses through the trusted Prime shopping experience.”
Seamless Integration and Simplifying Day-to-Day Operations
Utilizing Buy with Prime for Salesforce, merchants can seamlessly integrate Buy with Prime into their existing storefronts while maintaining control over their stores’ shopper experience. Buy with Prime for Salesforce also simplifies the day-to-day merchant experience by automatically syncing with Salesforce Order Management, including orders, promotions, and catalog listings. Merchants can customize this end-to-end integration to tailor the placement and appearance of the Buy with Prime experience throughout their product, cart, and checkout pages.
Brand New Buy with Prime Features
The Buy with Prime integration for Salesforce offers merchants new features. For the first time, merchants can enable search and filter capabilities on their websites to help shoppers easily and efficiently discover Prime eligible items. In addition, Buy with Prime for Salesforce gives merchants the opportunity to offer a mixed cart to customers. Shoppers will be able to add both Prime eligible and other items to their carts and purchase all items in a single checkout. Amazon and Salesforce will continue to iterate together on Buy with Prime for Salesforce and plan to roll out additional features in the future.
Connect With New Shoppers and Drive Greater Loyalty
Amazon is committed to helping merchants of all sizes grow. Buy with Prime helps merchants connect with new shoppers and grow brand loyalty by providing customers with live chat support 24 hours a day, seven days a week, on Buy with Prime purchases. Merchants also continue to own the customer data that comes through Buy with Prime purchases on their websites. By offering the shopping experience Prime members know and love—fast, free delivery, a trusted checkout experience, and hassle-free returns— Buy with Prime has been shown to increase shopper conversion by 25%, on average, and three out of every four Buy with Prime orders come from new shoppers, on average.
Scaling Fulfillment and Delivery Using Amazon’s Logistics Network
Whether a shopper places an order directly on a merchant’s own direct-to-consumer website via Buy with Prime or shops directly on Amazon.com, the orders are fulfilled using the same pool of inventory stored within Amazon’s logistics network. This shared inventory pool gives Buy with Prime merchants the flexibility to scale their inventory across multiple sales channels, which in turn reduces out-of-stock rates, and thus speeds up delivery times. For instance, with Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfillment, Buy with Prime merchants can delight their customers with a >97% on-time delivery rate, deliveries made seven days a week, and an average “click-to-door speed” of 1.9 days—over 50% faster than other retailers.
Learn More and Get Early Access at Retail’s Big Show
Merchants attending the 2024 National Retail Federation’s Retail’s Big Show from January 14-16 are invited to visit Buy with Prime in booth #6020. Here, they can learn more about the Buy with Prime for Salesforce Commerce Cloud integration and sign up for early access. Merchants can also visit the Buy with Prime at NRF Retail’s Big Show page to request a meeting with the Buy with prime team.

Anambra State Government has launched SolutionLens, a technology-driven platform aimed at enhancing transparency, accountability, and citizen engagement in governance.
The platform, developed through a collaborative effort by the Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning, the Ministry of Information, and the Anambra State ICT Agency, was unveiled on Thursday, May 15, 2025, at the Solution Innovation District (SID) Building in Awka.
Speaking at the launch, Mrs. Chiamaka Nnake, Honourable Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning, described SolutionLens as a democratic tool that simplifies the Open Government Partnership (OGP) process.
She emphasized its role in planning, budgeting, and fostering investor confidence through community-based feedback mechanisms.
In her remarks, Mrs. Ogochukwu Orji, the State Coordinator of OGP, noted that SolutionLens is designed to shine a light on public projects, empowering citizens to ask questions, hold the government accountable, and ensure resources are used for the common good.
Key Features of SolutionLens
Centralized digital hub for government projects
Interactive maps with a user-friendly interface
Live chat feature to connect citizens directly with MDAs
A live demonstration of the platform was conducted, followed by the formal inauguration of MDA focal persons, who will ensure the platform remains updated and responsive.
Participants commended Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, CFR, for this forward-thinking initiative, describing SolutionLens as a game-changer in governance.
The government urged citizens to actively engage with the platform and spread awareness, emphasizing that this initiative will safeguard the integrity and prosperity of Anambra State for generations to come.
Benue State Governor, Rev. Fr. Dr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia, has been named among the “50 Most Valuable Personalities (50MVPs) in Nigeria’s Digital Economy 2025,” a prestigious recognition celebrating visionary leadership in technology-driven governance.
Governor Alia’s administration has prioritized digital inclusion and ICT development, introducing groundbreaking initiatives that position Benue State at the forefront of Nigeria’s digital economy. Under his leadership, the government has established three key institutions: the Ministry of Communications, Innovation & Digital Economy, the Benue State Digital Infrastructure Company (BDIC), and the Benue State Digital Infrastructure Services Management and Enforcement Agency (BENDISMEA).
Since assuming office, Alia has launched several digital initiatives, including training over 40,000 civil servants in e-governance tools and equipping 10,000 youths with digital skills. Additionally, the government has set up 276 e-commerce hubs across council wards to support local businesses and young entrepreneurs.
The BDIC, a core driver of Benue’s tech transformation, has spearheaded projects in digital financial inclusion, AI education, and broadband expansion. The state has also partnered with the Digital Bridge Institute (DBI) to establish digital training hubs in all local government areas, targeting 23,000 trainees annually.
Alia’s recognition as one of Nigeria’s top digital leaders will be formalized at the West Africa Convergence Conference (WACC) 2025, scheduled for May 22 at The Colosseum, Lagos. The annual event, organized by Knowhow Media, brings together policymakers and innovators shaping Nigeria’s digital future.
Speaking on the selection process, Dr. Sola Afolabi, Chairman of the 2025 Nomination Committee, praised Alia’s contribution, describing his digital initiatives as “transformational steps that set the benchmark for technology-driven governance.”
Previous editions of the 50MVPs in Nigeria’s Digital Economy have honored notable figures such as Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, and NDPC CEO, Dr. Vincent Olatunji.
Governor Alia’s reforms reflect a broader shift towards digital governance in Nigeria, highlighting the potential of technology to drive inclusive economic growth and efficient public administration.
