How can I start selling on Amazon?
Getting started as a seller with Amazon is very simple. In order to start selling on Amazon, you need to follow the below steps:
- First, choose your selling plan based on the number of products you think you will sell per month. We offer two types of plans: individual and professional. We even have an easy Sell on Amazon Fee Calculator to help you understand how much you can earn with each plan for a certain number of products sold.
- Next, you will need to complete the registration process. This requires your Amazon customer account or a business email address, as well as your (or your company's) credit card details. You will also need to submit a valid ID document (a passport copy or a national identity card, for example). In case you run a company, you will also have to share your company registration details including tax certificates (such as a VAT certificate). Lastly, you will need to share your phone number and bank account details.
- Once your registration is complete, you’ll get access to your Seller Central account from where you can manage your business.
- Next, you’ll need to list your products by adding a product ID, SKU, Product title, Product description, Product images and search terms and relevant keywords, and the cost of each product.
- Then you’ll need to choose the right fulfilment option to deliver your products to your customers.
- Now you are ready to start selling on Amazon.
