You don’t have to leave your game or app to purchase physical products-simply enjoy your experience of engaging with the fun things you’ll find. There’s a sense of excitement in discovering unique and relevant items within the game that you can get delivered right to your door. With Amazon Anywhere, we’re bringing the convenience and ease of shopping in Amazon stores to Peridot. Most shopping in virtual worlds is currently limited to purchases of virtual currency and in-game digital items, with no easy path to purchase physical products. We’re creating a new landscape for shoppable entertainment and digital experiences while continuing to meet our customers where they are, with the products they love.

Products will ship to you like any other purchase from Amazon, and you can track and manage orders via the Amazon app.
