Getting your products listed and ready for sale on your Amazon store involves several important steps, and the timeline can vary depending on various factors. Let's take a closer look at the process and what you can expect when you embark on this journey with us.
The Initial Steps
When you first sign up for our services, there are multiple essential steps that need to be completed before your products can go live on your Amazon store:
1. Business Foundations
To set a strong foundation, we ensure that your business structure and documentation are in order. This includes the entity information, tax ID, and acquiring your Sales Tax Number. This is all handled during our onboarding process with your dedicated concierge.
2. Amazon Account Setup
The correct setup of your Amazon account is crucial. We take the necessary steps to configure your account correctly on the Amazon platform, ensuring that everything is in compliance with Amazon's policies and requirements.
3. Team Member Placement
Your dedicated team member plays a vital role in managing your Amazon store. We make sure to place a capable team member with the right expertise to handle your account effectively.
4. Account Ungating
When you create a new account on Amazon, there is a formal process to get your storefront eligible to sell brand name products. This involves submitting necessary documentation and meeting specific criteria. The timeline for this process can vary depending on Amazon's review and approval procedures.
The Verification Process
Once your account is eligible to sell brand name products, we enter the verification phase. This phase is crucial as it ensures that your storefront is authorized to showcase these products and serves as proof of supply. It's essential for addressing inquiries from Amazon regarding your store.
The Timeline
While the timeline can vary based on specific circumstances and Amazon's requirements, here's a general expectation:
- First Products Listed: You can typically expect your first products to be listed on your Amazon store within about 60 days from the start of the process.
- First Sales Incoming: The initial sales may start coming in around the 90-day mark. This timeline accounts for the setup, verification, and initial sales efforts.
