How to Set Up an Amazon Business

The first step to set up an Amazon business is creating a free account. You will then need to complete a setup process. This is a mandatory step, as it will serve as the verification for your account. Once you have verified your account, you will be able to use the features of Amazon Business. If you are still unclear about how this works, read this article for more information. You can also read about Tax-exempt status and integrations.

Pay by invoice

The new Amazon business pay by invoice option makes it possible for small and medium-sized businesses to sell their products directly to customers without the need to handle payment processing. While the service can improve the overall selling experience, it also carries risks.

While many competing e-commerce marketplaces provide little more than marketing engines, Pay by Invoice is designed to mitigate that risk. In addition to helping you sell more items, it also offers a number of other benefits.

With Amazon Business Pay by Invoice, eligible customers can purchase items from you on credit and pay at a later time. Generally, customers with the ability to pay in this manner have terms of net 30, which determines the due date for invoices. Pay by Invoice is only available to Amazon business accounts, and only active sellers participating in the business-to-business (B2B) program will be able to view it.

Shared payment options

If you own your own business, you can add additional payment methods to your account. You can add a credit card, debit card, or Amazon corporate credit line, and any authorized user can use any one of these methods to make purchases. The payment method that users can see on a transaction report is the last four digits of the card. In case of shared payment options, you will be able to control which payment methods are visible to users.

To add or modify shared payment methods for your Amazon business, use the Administrator console. There, you will be able to change or remove shared shipping addresses as needed. Another feature of this tool is the Amazon Tax Exemption Plan. You can claim tax exemption for purchases that meet certain criteria. You can find out if your business qualifies with the Amazon Tax Exemption Plan. Once you qualify, you can start accepting payments through this program.

Tax-exempt status

You can apply for Amazon business tax-exempt status through the university’s website. Once you’ve done this, you can use your university’s account to make purchases. You’ll need to follow the instructions in the Amazon Business page to make this happen. Amazon will automatically apply the tax exemption to purchases made through your university’s account. It’s important to remember that Amazon is a huge marketplace of millions of sellers and may not apply the same tax exemption to every purchase.

To become tax-exempt, you’ll need a certificate from the government that states your organization is tax-exempt. The government will require a copy of this certificate to verify your status. This can be a pain. Thankfully, Amazon has made this process easier by creating the Amazon Tax itubego Program. Through this program, Amazon will handle this process for you. It will automatically send the required certificate to participating ATEP members.

Integrations

Developing an Amazon business integration requires considerable time and expertise. In most cases, the process may take months to complete. This is primarily because an Amazon integration requires extensive consulting work and custom integration projects. These projects can require up-front and ongoing costs that can prove prohibitively high for small businesses. Moreover, most Amazon integration providers require the signing of a contract, which makes termination of the relationship difficult. If you have the right skills, however, you can complete the process in two to three months.

Integration globally later this year and initially focus on the U.S. market.
