We saw the opportunity with Amazon Business to take control of our brand and reach new customers through one channel."

What are the differences between Amazon Business and Selling on Amazon?

As an Amazon Business Seller, you have access to all of the features of a professional selling account with Amazon.com.

Additionally, Amazon Business Sellers can earn a Business Seller Badge which allows business customers to identify sellers that meet the high standards of Amazon Business.

The requirements to qualify for the badge are below:

• Low pre-shipment cancellation rate (less than 1%)
• Low late shipping rate (less than 2%)
• Low order defect rate e.g. few A-Z claims, returns, and/or chargebacks (less than 0.5%)
• Tracking number on every business order package
• Packing slip with every business order package
• Purchase order number with every business order package when provided by the customer

Can I still use other Amazon Services?

Yes. You can still use any other Amazon service such as Fulfillment by Amazon, Amazon Home Services, or Amazon Payments. See all available services>

How are orders fulfilled by Amazon Business Sellers?

You can adopt one of four approaches to fulfilling orders placed on the Amazon Business Marketplace:

1. Seller-fulfilled Prime – For sellers who qualify, based on their own mature fulfillment and logistics infrastructure, Seller-fulfilled Prime enables offers to achieve Prime status, but ship directly from a seller location according to the Prime customer promise.

2. Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) – Orders are fulfilled by Amazon and your products are shipped from state-of-the-art Amazon fulfillment centers. Orders fulfilled through FBA achieve Prime status.

3. Merchant fulfillment – Just like it sounds; you fulfill orders directly from your own facility, following the Amazon Business packaging requirements. Prime status does not apply to merchant fulfilled orders.

4. Hybrid approach – Many organizations use a mixed fulfillment strategy, shipping certain products directly and others through Fulfillment by Amazon.

Credentials

Why participate in the Seller Credential Program?

By participating in the Seller Credential Program, sellers will be able to distinguish themselves to Amazon Business customers, many of whom are tasked with meeting quality sourcing objectives and corporate social responsibility goals.

How do sellers claim a credential?

Once registered as an Amazon Business Seller, the seller will choose from a list of credentials to claim and provide supporting information. Depending on the credential, sellers will need to upload a picture of a physical certificate or a business identifier number (such as DUNS).

Will Amazon help sellers get credentials?

Amazon is not a certifying body, nor does Amazon provide assistance to obtain credentials. Sellers are expected to determine their own eligibility for a credential and how to best obtain the appropriate supporting documentation, depending on the credential.

How will business customers find sellers’ credentials?

Credentials will be exposed to customers throughout the customer’s shopping experience. Additionally, a list of each seller’s credentials will be displayed prominently on seller profile pages.
