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.
You can add the Amazon sales channel in Shopify for free, but you need an Amazon Professional Seller account to use it. Amazon charges a monthly fee, plus a referral fee based on your product's category. If you have questions about selling fees, then contact Amazon Support.
You are allowed only one Shopify store per Amazon Professional Seller account. If you have multiple stores, then you need a separate Amazon Professional Seller account for each one.
Eligibility requirements for the Amazon sales channel
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.
- 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. Learn more about selecting a store currency.
- Your return policy is as good or better than the Amazon return policy.
- Your store is on an active Shopify subscription plan.
