Review on Amazon by jesus ruiz
Amazon, the online shopping giant
Amazon was founded in 1995 by Jeff Bezos and is headquartered in Atlanta, USA.
Amazon owes its name to two reasons, the first is that it is named after the largest river in the world, which was the main idea of its founder, as he planned to make the largest store in the world and that it would be exotic and different as the Amazon River. The other reason for the name is because it carries the letters A and Z, which indicate that in the store you can find items from A to Z.
It all started as an online bookstore, to become the giant of online sales worldwide. Amazon has branches in Europe, Africa, North America and Central America.
Amazon is a retail site (only 1% of sales are of Amazon-branded items) with a percentage of revenue from sales; Amazon takes a small percentage of the sale price of each item sold through its website, while allowing businesses to advertise their products by paying to have them featured as featured products.
Amazon does not accept Bitcoin as an official payment method, but it is possible to purchase their products by paying with BTC using other platforms such as Bitrefill.
Using the platform is simple. In just three steps you can get the respective code of your gift card (Giftcard) to redeem it in the Amazon app.
First you have to search for Amazon on Bitrefill, fill in the amount and choose Bitcoin (or other cryptos) as payment method. Provide your email address. Then go to your Bitcoin wallet and scan the QR code on the Bitrefill page that was generated, after the payment has been verified, your coupon code is processed and you can redeem it on the Amazon page.
Not only on the Bitrefill platform you can do this operation, you can also use other means such as Fold, Gyft, Purse. Spectrocoin and Paxful.
With regard to innovations to address the changes that have arisen in the world as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic, Amazon has launched its first supermarket without cashiers, its name is Amazon Fresh and it is located in Ealing, west London. To make the purchase you just have to open the Amazon application on your SmartPhone and scan a QR code that will open the doors of the supermarket, then take a bag that is at the entrance where you will place the items you want to buy. It should be noted at this point that all items and the bag where they are placed are equipped with sensors that add the cost of these items to your Amazon shopping cart. At the end of the shopping, you just leave the supermarket and continue with your daily routine. All the items you purchased are automatically debited from the payment method you have set up on Amazon.
If this is not the supermarket of the future, it is very close.
