Additionally, you can make purchases with other digital assets besides BTC and BCH using the Purse ShapeShift integration as shown below. More on that later.

Purse Tips

A few more insights into how our Amazon discount process works

Using Purse as an International Shopper

Get orders shipped to virtually anywhere.

When Purse.io was created, it immediately synced with Amazon.com’s policies and shipping capabilities. Within these policies, Amazon.com is able to ship to many places inside the U.S. and outside the U.S. for an additional shipping fee. Nearly everyone is eligible for an Amazon discount using Purse. For a helpful snapshot of available locations, view the full list of destinations & rates here.

Additionally, Purse.io offers limited support for Amazon.co.uk , Amazon.ca, Amazon.co.jp.

For more of an in-depth look, Simply follow these instructions.

Don’t have BTC or BCH? Get an Amazon discount when you use any of your favorite tokens with ShapeShift

ShapeShift.io is an instant digital asset exchange service. It allows the shopper to take one digital asset and instantly convert it to another one. The way this works is that ShapeShift will take the shopper’s currency, convert it to Bitcoin, then send the converted coin back to Purse.

With the ShapeShift integration, Purse can accept more than 30 different digital assets including:

Ethereum Litecoin zCash And more!

Purse charges a fee for “Name Your Discount” orders based on the set discount. Purse will always display the fee that applies for your order. See below for the fee schedule.

Possible Complications

Long Shipping Times

If the Shopper selects an item with a long shipping time, it may prompt Earners to cancel the order. If the order is cancelled, it will be sent back to the Purse order book for the next Earner to pick up.

To ensure the fastest shipping, only order items that are currently in stock and be sure to note the estimated delivery time that’s listed for that item. It is most ideal to select items with a 5–7 day shipping time or less.

High Amazon Discount Rates

If the Shopper places an order with a request for a high Amazon discount amount (more than 18–22%), the Shopper will need an Earner to accept that Amazon discount. There is a high likelihood that most Earners will be hesitant to fulfill a high Amazon discount order because they will be accepting payment at a lower rate.

For example, an item with a desired discount rate of 25-33% may take up to a month to be picked up by an Earner. (But… imagine the savings!)

Popular Products and Amazon Discounts

Buying Tech with an Amazon Discount

Here are the top Purse shopping categories. Our records show that many of our users enjoy getting Amazon discounts of 18% on items such as laptops and phones. A close second are those interested in PC parts, such as video cards, motherboards or monitors.

“Balance” and “Buzzed” are categories in which shoppers can buy products that help facilitate their busy life schedule (premium coffee, mmmm), or help them rewind from their day (aromatherapy essential oil diffuser, anyone?)

The hierarchy in terms of popularity looks like this (1 being the top visited)

Real Amazon Discounts

The value of Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash is volatile. We know this. Here are two ways that the market fluctuation can go in your favor, even if the value of your crypto changes.

Shop and Save, Even When the Price of BTC is Down:

In this case, we can see that the shopper put in an order with a “Name Your Discount” price of 25%. Although the price of BTC changed before an Earner picked up the order, the Shopper still walked away with 23.5% savings on a photography lens.

Gain Extra Earnings When BTC’s Value Rises:

The fun part about using Purse are the potential savings when the value of Bitcoin rises. The final Amazon discount that this shopper gained was comparable to 37%, an unexpected 16% total discount increase!
