The two companies have also rolled out a digital gift-giving service on WeChat, allowing WeChat users to send and receive Starbucks digital gifts and then cash them in at offline outlets.
Starbucks is the first retail brand to use the digital gift-sharing service, supported by the social network's 846 million monthly active users.
While China is developing a consumption-driven economy, many sectors such as logistics services will improve to better serve Chinese consumers, David Bell, a business professor with the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, said while visiting Shanghai Jiaotong University last month.
Last year Amazon China launched a Prime service, offering free shipping to its paid members.
Prime members will receive their packages from around the world within five to nine working days by air delivery and other time-saving procedures. Regular customers have to wait between two weeks and a month for cross-border delivery, said Zhang Wenyi, president of Amazon China.
Zhang said the number of active users in China as of the end of 2016 was 23 times the number in 2017, and more and more Chinese sellers are seeking fortunes in the overseas market via Amazon.
For example, ILIFE, a robotic cleaning device developed by a Shenzhen-based company, is ranked in third place among similar products in the U.S. market, said Zhang, without disclosing the sales volume or revenue.
