What is Amazon Transparency?
As described on Amazon Transparency web page, Amazon Transparency is an item-level authentication service that helps you protect your brand and customers from counterfeit.
In other words, Amazon Transparency is a program that allows manufacturers and brand owners to fight counterfeit products on amazon.com. At the same time, it allows amazon.com customers to verify and be confident that they are buying authentic products.
Why Should Manufacturers Use Amazon Transparency?
Manufacturers aren't the only ones selling their products on Amazon or other retail places: there are third-party sellers.
Let say I found great deals on some items at a local store. I could buy those items and turn around and resell them, unaltered, on Amazon for a profit and there's nothing the manufacturers can do to stop me.
That's how many online third-party sellers started their online businesses.
However, there's potential for some big problems. Sketchy manufacturers can easily make cheap copies of the real products and sell them online or to other third-party re-sellers. This is called product counterfeiting and costs manufacturers and brand owners billions of dollars every year.
Manufacturers and brand owners can use Amazon Transparency to fight this counterfeit problem.
Here's how Amazon Transparency works:
