Amazon Prime is a paid subscription service offered by online retail platform Amazon. The subscription includes services such as music and video streaming, free two-day (or faster) shipping, as well as many other benefits. The program was launched in 2005 and is available internationally. In 2019, Amazon generated 19.21 billion U.S. dollars in revenues through its subscription services segment.

The most popular product categories purchased by Amazon Prime shoppers in the United States were electronics, apparel, and home and kitchen goods. Amazon Prime shoppers are more engaged that non-members: during a February 2019 survey, 20 percent of Amazon Prime members stated that they shopped on Amazon a few times per week, with seven percent saying that they did so on an (almost) daily basis.
