Amazon tests sending customers directly to brands' websites when it doesn't stock their products | TechCrunch
Briefly

Amazon has announced a beta test for a new shopping feature that redirects users to competing brands' websites when desired products are unavailable on its platform. This strategy, reminiscent of Macy's customer-centric approach in 'Miracle on 34th Street', aims to improve customer satisfaction amid rising competition from e-commerce rivals. The feature will show selected products from other retailers in Amazon’s search results, allowing customers to evaluate pricing and delivery options before purchasing. Importantly, Amazon assures users that their personal information remains secure, with clear notifications when they navigate away from Amazon's site.
