The Amazon Posts allow e-commerce vendors to display multiple items in a carousel on product pages. Furthermore, the posts can also show up in several areas on the platform to get the attention of online shoppers. At the moment, branded posts can be published on a brand-owned detail page, a related brands detail page, a related post feed, and a category feed. Amazon controls where your post will be published. But, with the category tags, you do have some influence on your post’s final destination.
Each Amazon Post links to the product details, making them instantly shoppable. In short, an online shopper can click and go to the product details page, from where they can then add it to their Shopping cart.
