What are the benefits of participating in the Seller Credential Program?

Sellers that participate in the Seller Credential Program stand out to Amazon business customers, who are often entrusted with achieving quality sourcing criteria and corporate social responsibility goals.

Will Amazon assist merchants in obtaining certifications?

Amazon is not a certification organization and therefore does not help in the acquisition of credentials. Depending on the credential, sellers are responsible to set their own eligibility standards and how best to get the necessary supporting paperwork. The Amazon Business Glossary provides a starting point for each credential.

In order to claim a credential, what information do I need to provide?

Sellers must generally give information that allows a buyer to independently verify that they have been issued a credential. All credentials must be granted and/or registered by a respectable third-party institution, such as a government entity or an approved or competent certifier. Sellers offer evidence of issuance in the form of a physical document (digital picture) or a link to the website of a third-party institution (when available).
