🔞Step-by-Step Guide to Starting Your Amazon Seller Account

Initiating the Sign-Up Process: Visit Amazon Seller Central and click on the 'sign up' option. It's important to create a new account using an email address that hasn't been previously associated with any Amazon account, rather than using your personal Amazon account.

Following Registration Instructions: Proceed with the sign-up process by responding to the various prompts presented during registration.

Choosing Your Business Structure: During the registration, you'll have to decide whether to open your account as an individual or under a business entity like an LLC. You have the option to start as a Sole Proprietor or set up an LLC. While beginning with an LLC is advisable, starting as a Sole Proprietor and transitioning to an LLC later is also possible.

Gathering Essential Documents: Prepare to provide the following information for account verification:

• Bank routing and account numbers

• A chargeable credit card

• A government-issued national ID

• Tax information

Creating Your Storefront Name: Choose a name for your storefront. Opt for something catchy, smooth, and professional. For example, "Gladly Commerce". Using a tool like lean domain can be helpful for brainstorming.

When Prompted these questions: Your answers will be "No, No, No"

Completing Verification and Waiting for Approval: Fill out the requested information and schedule a verification call, where you'll need the documents from Step 4. Following this call, there may be a two to three business day wait for account approval.
