Amazon offers both the option of direct sale or selling wholesale as well as third-party sales. The latter means that the entrepreneur purchases the items from the manufacturer after which he sells them on Amazon as a reseller. Companies in Portugal can do so, in addition to selling their own products on the e-commerce website.
Investors who wish to sell on Amazon have access to more than 300 billion active users worldwide. However, those who start an Amazon store in Portugal can benefit from a more direct access to the local Portuguese market.
Operating this type of store will mean that the entrepreneur will have to set up proper payment methods. These include PayPal and credit/debit card payments.
