That’s all there is to it. AmazonSmile is the same Amazon you know. You can buy the same products, at the same prices, using the same account as you normally use on Amazon. Even more info about the program can be found here.
Remember, making purchases on AmazonSmile does not increase your costs in any way. The AmazonSmile Foundation simply makes the donation to Gifts for the Homeless at no cost to you.
