Welcome to the Amazon selling community! Now that you've registered, it's time to fine-tune your Seller Central account. Let's walk through some key points to help you set up your account for success.
First things first, remember that your Amazon selling account is a one-stop shop for your business. It's important to make it count. Buyers are more likely to trust sellers who provide clear, detailed information about their policies, so let's make sure your account shines.
Here are some essential steps to take:
- 🏷️ Choose a memorable business name. This is what customers will see, so make it count! You can update this in the Seller information displayed to buyers section.
- 📞 Keep your contact details current. We might need to reach you, so make sure your email and phone number are up to date. To edit your business contact information, see Seller information displayed to buyers.
- 💳 Stay on top of your financial information. Keeping your credit card and bank account details current prevents any hiccups in your payments.
- 🎁 Showcase your services. If you offer gift messaging or gift wrapping, let your customers know. You can even upload your logo to add a personal touch. To upload your logo and provide information specific to your business, see Edit your help pages.
- 🚚 Set your shipping rates clearly. Customers appreciate knowing shipping costs upfront.
- 🔒 Stick to one Seller Central account per region unless you have a legitimate need for more (and all your accounts are in good standing).
Now, a couple of things to avoid:
- 🚫 Don't include website URLs in your product feeds, business name, or company information that might lead buyers away from Amazon.
- 🚫 Don't assume other sellers are always doing things correctly and remain focused on your business. Always verify your practices against Amazon's policies, guidelines, and seller Help content.
