How to Set Up a Seller
Account on Amazon
◼ Once you know you want to sell on Amazon, your first
step should be to set up your Seller account. You can
have an account without a product or any active
listings.
◼ It’s important to get your account set up first because
it can take several weeks for Amazon to go through
the identity verification process and you want to make
sure you’re approved by the time your products are in
Amazon’s warehouses. Having an account allows you
to check whether certain products are gated by
Amazon or whether they require additional
information or verification in order to sell them.
◼ What do you need to do to set up your seller account
on Amazon?
1. Provide documentation:

Amazon requires you to provide various


documents, including:
◼Proof of identity: Drivers license,
passport, or other government-issued ID
◼Billing information: Credit card/Debit
Card
◼Address (Amazon will mail a postcard to
that address with a code so you can
verify your address)
◼Phone number
2. Set up your business:

During the seller account registration, Amazon


will ask you for your tax information.
a. If you own a business, you will enter the
employer identification number (EIN)
b. If you are located outside of the U.S., you
will need a valid internationally chargeable
credit card, bank account, proof of residence
in one of Amazon’s approved countries for
seller registration, and tax information (W-
8BEN as a non-U.S. taxpayer)
3. Select either a Professional
or Individual account
◼ Simply put, if you plan to sell more than 40
products per month, select a “Professional”
account, and if you expect to sell fewer than
that, select “Individual.” Here’s why:
◼ An individual account is free, but sellers will
have to pay a $0.99 per-item fee once a product
sells. A professional account is $39.99 per
month, but there is no per-item fee. So if you
plan to sell more than 40 units per month, the
professional account would be more affordable.
◼ If you don’t have a product ready to sell yet, we
recommend setting up an individual account.
4. Choose your Amazon Storefront name

◼Your storefront name will be the


name that is shown on your Amazon
listing as “Sold by [Your Storefront
Name] and Fulfilled by Amazon.”
◼Your storefront name is different
from the brands you sell as well as
your entity name (which is related to
your tax information).
5. Create your product
listings
◼Once your account is set up, it will
then be time to create your product
listings. We will go into this topic in
depth in the next section.
◼You’re set up to be an Amazon
seller! All you need is your product
— and a plan for getting it in front of
potential customers.
