What are the advantages of setting up an Amazon store in Ireland?

One of the main requirements for setting up an Amazon store is to be a resident of one of the countries accepted by Amazon. Ireland is included in the list of the eligible countries, so there are no restrictions in this sense. It is also important to know that one of the main advantages of an Amazon store is given by the large consumer market it covers in Europe, estimated at approximately 340 million online buyers at the level of 2018. Other advantages of an Amazon business are given by the following:

• Amazon allows both natural persons and legal entities to register an online store;
• when referring to legal entities, Amazon offers a new service that automatically generates value added tax (VAT) invoices on the respective sales;
• the platform also offers the possibility of marketing certain products for business-to-business partnerships;
• in the case of transactions that have a large volume, the company can benefit from lower fees.
