This Itechguide explains Amazon Smile (AmazonSmile). The guide starts with a detailed explanation of Amazon Smile. Then, it explains how it works and ends with its features benefits.
What is Amazon Smile?
It is a shopping website operated by Amazon – when you shop on this website, AmazonSmile Foundation donates 0.5% of the purchase price of eligible products to a charity of your choice.
AmazonSmile website (Smile.Amazon.com) has the same products as Amazon.com. Moreover, the products on Smile.Amazon.com are sold at the same price as Amazon.com. The only difference is that by buying from AmazonSmile, you are supporting a good course.
How AmazonSmile Works
Here is a summary of how this scheme works:
- Sign up for AmazonSmile – I recommend signing up with the same email address you use to sign in to your Amazon account
- Select the charity you want to support – use the search box on the top left of the page to find your charity of choice
- Purchase eligible products* – the same way you would purchase a product on Amazon.com. However, this time you make the purchase from smile.Amazon.com website
- If you purchased an eligible product, AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the product purchase price to your selected charity.
