What is AmazonSmile?
AmazonSmile is an innovative and simple way for you to donate to your favourite charities when shopping for your favourite products on Amazon. AmazonSmile can be used by anyone and once activated, Amazon will automatically support your charity when you shop, at no extra cost or inconvenience to you.
“Amazon donates 0.5% of the net purchase price (excluding VAT, returns and shipping fees) of eligible purchases to the charitable organisation of your choice.” So far, AmazonSmile has donated over 10 million to UK charities and more is given every day.
It can be used on your web browser, can be activated through the Amazon Shopping App on IOS and Android phones. You don’t have to create a new account and it can be set up in a matter of minutes. Note: If you are a Prime member, all Prime benefits will be applied to your Smile account.
