Why It Matters

Amazon represents 40%+ of US ecommerce. Seller Central is your gateway to millions of Prime customers with high purchase intent.

Practical Example

Scenario

A kitchen gadget brand launches on Amazon alongside their Shopify store.

Calculation

Shopify: 500 orders/month. Amazon launch adds 800 orders/month. Total revenue: $130K → $208K

Result

60% revenue increase within 6 months, with Amazon customers often becoming DTC customers later

Pro Tips

  • 1Start with FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) to get Prime badge—this dramatically increases visibility and conversion
  • 2Optimize listing titles with keywords customers actually search, not brand-centric language
  • 3Use Amazon Brand Registry to protect your listings and access A+ Content

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Launching with poor product photos—Amazon is visual-first, invest in professional images
Ignoring reviews—new products need launch strategies to generate initial reviews
Setting prices too high vs. competitors without differentiation to justify premium

Frequently asked questions

For most, yes—strategically. Use Amazon for volume and discovery, then convert customers to DTC for repeat purchases. Some premium brands stay off Amazon to protect brand positioning. Test with a few SKUs.

Professional account: $39.99/month. Referral fees: 8-15% per category. FBA fees: $3-5+ depending on size/weight. Factor 20-30% total fees into pricing.
