How the process works

  1. 01
    Create the account

    Choose an email address and password, then start seller registration.

  2. 02
    Declare the real business location

    Use the country where the business is legally registered. If you are registering as an individual, use the country where you actually conduct business.

  3. 03
    Add the true primary contact

    Enter the legal name, citizenship, birth country, date of birth, residential address, phone number, and role of the person who owns or legally represents the business.

  4. 04
    Add payment and store information

    Provide banking, credit-card, store, product-code, and brand details.

  5. 05
    Finish identity verification

    Amazon may use a face-and-ID check or ask you to schedule a video call. Have the original documents used in the application available.

North America and Brazil

One unified account covers the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil. It is not a U.S.-only registration.

Global expansion and fees

Europe and other regions require additional regional or country accounts. Amazon currently lists a separate regional plan structure, but linked global Professional accounts are billed at the lower of the combined active-market fees or the equivalent of USD $39.99 per month. Always confirm current fees before expanding.

The right expectation

Strong fundamentals turn access into opportunity.

When your product, positioning, capital, branding, fulfillment, and strategy are ready, Amazon can support your long-term growth.
