The free trial for our Amazon integration is coming to an end
In November 2023, we launched a new integration with Amazon that allows clients with an Amazon UK Marketplace account to connect directly to FreeAgent. So far, users have been able to enjoy this add-on as part of a free trial period which will be coming to an end on 1st September 2023. Ahead of the change, here are some next steps for Partners.
If your clients already use the Amazon integration
Your practice has full control over your clients’ access, billing and usage of the Amazon integration so you can choose how to pay for the add-on after the free period ends. You can either:
- allow clients to subscribe directly at a cost of just £6/month (+VAT) or
- add it to your Practice invoice at a reduced rate. Please speak to your account manager to discuss pricing structure and discounts.
If you decide to add it to your Practice invoice, you will need to update your billing preferences on your Practice Dashboard by 1st September. You can find out how to do this by following the guidance in this Knowledge Base article.
If you do not set your preferences before 1st September, we will prompt your clients to choose whether to pay for the Amazon integration directly or cancel their subscription and lose access to the integration.
As a final step, either you or your client will need to activate the Amazon add-on again after September 2nd, even if your clients are currently using the integration. This can be done via the Add-ons area of your Practice Dashboard or from within your clients’ accounts.
If your clients aren’t yet using the Amazon integration
There’s still time for your clients to try the Amazon integration for free before 1st September! The functionality offers a host of automation options that allow you to work more efficiently with clients.
Unlike third-party alternatives, we only have one price, and we don’t set any restrictions on how much your clients can use the integration. However, the practical upper limit is around 6,000 orders per month, based on the volume of data imported from Amazon’s API. We anticipate this to be more than enough for most clients who sell on Amazon.
