What is Amazon?
Amazon is the largest and most successful online marketplace in the world, because they deliver the best customer service and create the best customer experience.
There are two options for a company to sell its products online on Amazon marketplace:
- Amazon Vendor Central
- Amazon Seller Central
What is Amazon Vendor Central?
When you register your company as a vendor, and once your company is approved, Amazon becomes a regular distributor of your company’s products. Amazon buys and stores your company’s merchandise, handles pricing, and arranges shipping, returns, and full customer service. Basically, you become a supplier for Amazon, while Amazon buys your company’s products and pays you.

What is Amazon Seller Central?
It means you or your company, can register as an independent seller on Amazon marketplace. You pay a monthly fixed fee, and a percent of your sales on Amazon, in return of the use of the platform. There are two types of accounts: either “Individual” or “Professional” Seller account. The account owner is responsible for the setup, ongoing maintenance, and integration of their Amazon Seller account.
Seller Central account is the most popular choice for companies of different sizes, but at the same time, it causes the most challenges to store owners, especially when it comes to integration of the seller account with other business systems.
Things to know: According Amazon Seller Central guide, you may only have one Seller Central account for each region you sell in unless you have a legitimate business need to open a second account and all of your accounts are in good standing.
