Amazon sales channel requirements

Before you start using the Amazon sales channel, make sure that you meet the eligibility requirements. If you're eligible, then you can activate the sales channel in your Shopify admin.

Adding the Amazon sales channel in Shopify is free, but you'll need an Amazon Professional Seller account to use it. You'll be charged a monthly fee by Amazon, plus a referral fee based on your product's category.If you have any questions about selling fees, then contact Amazon Support.

You can add one Shopify store to one Amazon Professsional Seller account. If you have multiple stores, you need a separate Amazon Professsional Seller account for each one.

Eligibility requirements

To use the Amazon sales channel, you need to meet the following eligibility requirements:

• You have a Professional Seller account on Amazon Seller Central, with selling on Amazon.com or Amazon.ca enabled. Amazon charges a monthly subscription and fees for selling.
• You sell in USD (for Amazon.com) or in CAD (for Amazon.ca). You can only use the Amazon sales channel with the region that matches your store currency on Shopify.
• Your return policy is as good or better than the Amazon return policy.
• You are on an active Shopify plan.

Note

At this time, you can't use the Amazon sales channel with Fulfillment by Amazon(FBA) or Seller Fulfilled Prime (SFP) offers. Instead, you need to manually fulfill orders placed through the Amazon sales channel in your Shopify admin. If you use FBA or SFP for products listed through Amazon Seller Central, then they will not appear as linkable in Shopify, because the Amazon sales channel does not support FBA or SFP offers.

Getting approved to sell in a category

You might need to be approved to sell in the category that fits your products. You can only create listings by using the Amazon sales channel for products in the following categories. The categories are different for selling on Amazon.com and Amazon.ca:

Amazon.com categories:

• Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry
• Arts, Crafts & Sewing
• Home & Kitchen
• Patio, Lawn & Garden
• Sport & Outdoors
• Health & Household
• Toys & Games
• Beauty & Personal Care
• Electronics

Amazon.ca categories:

• Clothing & Accessories
• Home & Kitchen
• Electronics
• Health & Personal Care
• Sports & Outdoors
• Beauty & Personal Care
• Toys & Games
• Jewelry
• Patio, Lawn & Garden

Note

Listings in Amazon's electronics category don't support variants. Adding a variant to a listing in the electronics category through the Amazon sales channel creates a separate listing.

You can still create new listings for products in other categories directly in Amazon Seller Central, and then link them to Shopify.
