Amazon makes ‘Dash’ buttons available to Prime members
NEW YORK (AP) — Amazon wants to make the connected home a little more connected … to your shopping list.
With its new ‘Dash’ buttons, members of its $99 annual Prime loyalty program can reorder household items like baby food, coffee and laundry detergent with the touch of a button. The adhesive buttons are designed to stick on any household surface near where you may need to reorder products.
Amazon first announced the ‘Dash’ buttons in April, available in beta mode by invitation only. Now ‘Dash’ buttons are being offered for about 20 brands, ranging from Bounty paper towels, Tide detergent, Clorox disinfecting wipes and other items, available to Prime members.
