How do I enrol in Brand Registry?

Go to Amazon Brand Registry to learn more about the trademarking requirements for the program. Another recommended resource is Amazon's IP Accelerator program, which provides support to sellers who are pursuing trademarking.

How can I view my brands that are eligible for the 5% bonus for brand owners?

You can view the brands for which you are the brand owner on the Brand Benefit Eligibility page on Seller Central. If you are missing brand owner designation, please contact Selling Partner Support for assistance.

If I sell more than one brand via my seller account, can I receive the 5% bonus on multiple brands?

Yes, sellers can earn the 5% bonus on multiple brands as long as they have been identified as the brand owner on the brands in question, sold via their seller account. The bonus on branded sales will be rewarded for 1 year after eligibility is determined, or on up to £800,000 in eligible branded sales (£40,000 in bonus value), whichever comes first.

How will Amazon pay me the 5% bonus for brand owners?

Each month, you will receive a bonus amount equivalent to 5% of eligible branded sales sold the month prior. It will be applied as a credit to the next month’s referral fees on your payment statement. This credit will not expire.

I am a new reseller. Can I receive the 5% bonus on branded sales, Vine credits, and Transparency credits?

No. These benefits are only available to brand owners enrolled in Brand Registry and identified by Amazon as a brand owner.

I am a new seller and I haven’t completed Brand Registry. Can I receive the 5% bonus on branded sales, Vine credits, and Transparency credits?

No. To receive the benefits exclusive to brand owners, you should enroll in Amazon Brand Registry and be identified by Amazon as a brand owner no later than six months after listing your first buyable ASIN and meeting all eligibility requirements.

I am an existing Amazon seller who wants to launch in another region. Am I eligible for New Seller Incentives?

Yes. New Seller Incentives is available to sellers launching in the US, sellers launching in the EU stores (UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain) and who are not yet selling in any one of those stores, and sellers launching in Japan. For example, a current US seller launching in Japan will be eligible for New Seller Incentives in Japan if all other eligibility requirements are met. Note that sellers launching in the EU stores (UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain) will only be eligible for the New Seller Incentives suite of benefits once for the region.

I am an existing Amazon seller already selling in one of the EU stores (UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain), who wants to expand within the EU stores (UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain). Am I eligible for New Seller Incentives benefits in this case?

No. If you have launched your first buyable ASIN in one of the EU stores (UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain) earlier than January 1, 2022, you won’t be eligible for New Seller Incentives benefits in any of the EU stores (UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain).

1. New Seller Incentives Overview and Eligibility

New Seller Incentives is a suite of benefits focused on assisting new Amazon Professional sellers with their selling. For purposes of New Seller Incentives, “New Sellers” are sellers with professional selling accounts who list their first buyable ASIN on or after January 1, 2022 in UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain Amazon stores (together, the “EU Stores”), in order to sell in the EU stores. New Sellers may be eligible to receive some or all of the available New Seller Incentives benefits, based on the eligibility criteria for each benefit. The New Seller Incentives suite of benefits is only available once per selling account and per brand in the EU stores. Only brands that have not been sold on Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.it or Amazon.es (together, the “EU Stores”) in the EU stores by a brand owner prior to January 1, 2022 are eligible for benefits. If a seller launched their first buyable ASIN in one or more of the EU Stores (UK, Germany, France, Italy or Spain) earlier than January 1, 2022, they are not eligible for New Seller Incentives benefits in the EU Stores.

The one-year eligibility timeline begins at the latter of either the listing of your first buyable ASIN or your completion of Brand Registry and identification as a brand owner by Amazon in the EU Stores. While this bonus may not stack with other bonuses offered by Amazon, including 5% rebate from the FBA New Selection programme, we will always award you the more favourable bonus to you.
