Why should you start selling on Amazon

Opening an Amazon store is a smart move, especially for beginners who want to start an online business without feeling overwhelmed. Amazon offers plenty of tools to make the process simple, even if you don’t have any technical or design skills. Let’s break down why creating your own Amazon store is such a great opportunity.

• Trust

Amazon is one of the most trusted brands in the world. In 2024, it was ranked the most trusted by U.S. shoppers. When your store is on Amazon, customers are more likely to buy from you because they trust the platform.

• Easy to set up

Amazon’s Store Builder is beginner-friendly. You don’t need coding or design experience to get started. The platform offers templates that allow you to add text, images, and videos with ease. Plus, you can manage your store anytime with the Amazon Seller app.

• Customization options

Even though your store is hosted on Amazon, you can still customize it to match your brand. Add your logo, choose colors, and display your product images to give your store a personal touch.

• Mobile optimization

Your store will look great no matter how customers shop. Amazon ensures your store works smoothly on desktops, tablets, and smartphones, making it easy for anyone to browse and buy.

• Marketing tools

Amazon provides tools to help you attract customers. You can create ads, run promotions, and offer discounts directly from the platform, making it simple to drive traffic to your store.

• Data insights

Amazon’s insights dashboard shows how your store is performing. You can see how many people are visiting, which products are selling, and other details that help you make smart decisions for your business.

• Ecommerce infrastructure

Amazon takes care of the tricky parts, like secure payments and smooth checkouts. You can even use Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) to handle storage, packing, and shipping for your products.

• Support and growth

If you run into challenges, Amazon has a Service Provider Network that connects you with experts for help with account management, advertising, and more. Tutorials are also available to guide you along the way.

With Amazon, you get everything you need to build a successful store, from trust and ease of use to powerful tools for growth. If you’re looking to start an online business, opening an Amazon store is a great place to begin.

Step-by-step instruction how to set up an Amazon store

1. Visit the FBA Page

First, go to Amazon’s Fulfillment By Amazon (FBA) page and click Sign Up to begin.

2. Create an account

On the login page, select Create your Amazon account to get started.

3. Set up your login

Choose a username, add an email address, and create a password. This is your account setup.

4. Verify your email

Amazon will send you a confirmation code. Check your email, enter the code, and verify your identity.

5. Complete verification

Amazon requires all sellers to go through a verification process. This involves:

• Providing your personal ID and business documents.
• Adding a credit card and phone number.

Amazon may also contact you for further verification. Once this step is complete, you can log into Seller Central – your control panel for managing your Amazon store.

6. Choose a selling plan

Amazon offers two plans:

• Individual Plan: Pay $0.99 per item sold. This works well for beginners unsure of their sales volume.
• Professional Plan: Pay $39.99/month with no per-item fees. This is best if you expect higher sales.

7. Get familiar with seller central

Seller Central is where you’ll manage everything – inventory, payments, customer insights, and more. Take some time to explore it.

8. List your products

Start by creating product listings. Include clear titles, detailed descriptions, great photos, and relevant keywords to make your items stand out. You’ll also need to add a product SKU and Global Trade Item Number (GTIN).

9. Decide how to fulfill orders

You have two options for order fulfillment:

• Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)

With Amazon FBA, most of the work is handled for you. You send your products to Amazon’s warehouses, and they take care of packing, shipping, and even customer service whenever someone makes a purchase. While there are fees involved, it’s a hassle-free way to reach millions of Amazon shoppers without managing logistics yourself.

• Fulfillment by Merchant (FBM) 

Amazon FBM gives you more control over how things run. You’ll be in charge of storing your products, shipping orders, and handling customer service. If you go with dropshipping, your supplier ships directly to your customers, so you won’t need to keep inventory yourself. 

For beginners, FBM (dropshipping) is an easier and more affordable way to start selling online. With lower fees, less risk, and more control over your business, it’s a solid choice for anyone ready to launch and grow their store.

10. Track Your Sales and Stats

Once your store is live, use Seller Central to track sales and performance. Over time, you’ll see trends and stats that can help you improve your business.

By following these steps, you’ll be ready to start selling on Amazon and reach millions of customers. Looking for an easier way to manage your business? Partner with Sellvia to simplify dropshipping and grow your store with confidence!
