As the world’s second largest overseas purchasing website, Amazon has a strong online sales platform in nine countries including the United States, Canada, China, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Spain, with a total of nearly 200 million active users. Therefore, many merchants have chosen to open online stores on Amazon in the United States to increase their business profits. So how to open an online store on Amazon in the United States? The specific steps are as follows.
step01 Create an account, submit qualification materials, and pass the qualification review.
Visit Amazon’s US site and move the cursor to the Your Account hyperlink in the upper right corner of the homepage, and a drop-down menu will pop up.
If you have already registered an Amazon account, click the Sign in button to log in; if you don’t have an account, click the Start here hyperlink to register.
After entering basic information such as name, email address, password, etc., click the yellow button to complete the login or registration, and you can enter or have your own Amazon homepage and officially proceed with the seller registration process. At this time, you will jump back to the homepage and be logged in. Pull down the homepage to the bottom, under Make Money with Us, click the Sell on Amazon hyperlink.
The page will jump to the registration page at this time. Scroll down to the bottom and users can choose to enter the professional seller or individual seller channel.
Click the yellow button to enter the channel. Professional sellers need to enter their company name, read the store opening instructions and terms, and choose to agree before entering the next step. Individual sellers only need to enter their email address and login password again (you can re-set an independent password) to enter the next step.
After filling in the login information, it will automatically jump to the registration step summary page. Users can complete all registration information by clicking the Start button of the corresponding column or the Continue button of the summary table in any step.
The next step is to complete it in four steps (you can also choose any step): fill in the basic information of the seller (must be true and detailed), check the down payment information (you need to provide a bank card), check the contact information (you need to call to check), and finally browse the commission agreement to complete the registration.
After registration is completed, other qualification materials need to be provided in the seller platform system to complete the review. The qualification review work is generally completed within 5 working days after the materials are submitted, and you will receive a notification of the review results from Amazon.
step02 Upload products.
After preparing product information and pictures, you can add product information one by one through the seller platform or upload them in batches through templates.
If you already have product pictures and templates that have been prepared by other platform stores, you can move them to Amazon, which can save a lot of energy and quickly get started on the Amazon platform; if you don’t have a template, you need to set one up yourself.
step03 Customers browse products and place orders.
After the product information is uploaded, the product is successfully launched online, and customers can browse, search and purchase the product. Once an order is generated, you will receive an email notification from Amazon, and you can also view the order information through the seller platform.
step04 Deliver the goods.
After the order is generated, the seller needs to deliver the goods in a timely manner according to the delivery method required by the customer. The seller can choose to deliver the goods by himself, or choose to use Amazon’s logistics service, or use both modes to find the business plan that best meets business needs.
step05 Settle the payment.
Amazon settles the payment every 14 days.
