“Joining Subscribe with Amazon was simple and completely self-service. I filled out a short application form, received an acceptance email, and then began creating a dedicated detail page for my subscription in the seller portal,” said Katherine Gonzalez, founder and CEO of SpamPhobia, a subscription that eliminates spam and promotional messages.
SpamPhobia joined Subscribe with Amazon, a self-service subscription marketplace, to streamline its payment and billing process. Subscribe with Amazon enables customers to purchase subscriptions using their existing payment information stored in their Amazon account.
“As with many early startups, we are not prepared to support credit card payments on our own site, so the fact that Subscribe with Amazon takes care of the billing and payment process is huge for us,” said Katherine.
SpamPhobia is also able to reach qualified shoppers by plugging into Amazon’s automated marketing algorithms, like the recommendations engine and similarity widgets.
“I love that we can automatically integrate with Amazon’s search capabilities and that we have the opportunity to surface SpamPhobia to customers who have similar interests,” she said.
A Five-Hour Integration Thanks to Comprehensive Documentation
It took Katherine five hours of development time to integrate with Subscribe with Amazon. She credits the easy-to-use APIs and detailed documentation for the quick development cycle.
“The integration was straightforward and easy. The documentation was very comprehensive, and included many examples and sample code. For developers, you wouldn’t need any other information; it’s all there,” said Katherine.
SpamPhobia also integrated with Login with Amazon, which creates a seamless login experience by allowing customers to use their Amazon credentials to access SpamPhobia.
An Exciting Opportunity to Grow
Katherine says Subscribe with Amazon is an exciting opportunity for SpamPhobia and will help her gain traction by introducing her brand to new customers.
“I think Subscribe with Amazon can become one of our main revenue streams,” she said. “I don’t see any reason why someone wouldn’t want to sell on Subscribe with Amazon. The seller portal gives you everything you need to get up and running.”
