What makes this an attractive fundraising option is that there is no extra charge to the shopper: Amazon takes a proportion of what you’ve bought and gives it to the charity of your choice. If you make the switch whilst doing your general shopping on Amazon, you are able to donate a percentage of all the products you buy on the platform to a charity of your choosing. So, a small concession in using the service if you find them less than ideal ethically is to at least make the switch to Amazon Smile.

UPDATE JANUARY 2023: the AmazonSmile service will cease in February 2023. This service helps Amazon customers donate to charity whilst shopping on the platform at no extra effort and no extra cost to them, which makes this a simple choice for consumers.

Amazon Smile was rolled out in the UK in 2017 and is accessed by switching from ‘vanilla’ Amazon to .uk.
