The experience will allow customers in Chile to shop over 45 million products through its mobile shopping app

Amazon has announced it is making its International Shopping experience eligible to customers in Chile, South America.

This will allow consumers in the region to access products shipped from the US.

With the new service, users will have access to 45 million products - including beauty and personal care items.

Samir Kumar, VP of Amazon Exports and Expansion, said: “We are always innovating on behalf of our customers, and with today’s launch, we are making the shopping experience on mobile devices even better and more convenient for our customers who live outside the US.”

The service, available for iOS and Android mobile devices, offers customers the choice of five languages, including English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, German and Brazilian Portuguese, and 25 currencies.

Last year, the brand made its debut in Australia, which was expected to have a dreaded impact on the country’s retailers, as companies would need to work harder to attract customers.

But according to The Guardian retailers are currently waiting for the ‘Amazon effect’ to make an impact on their shelves.
