Let Amazon pick, pack, and ship your orders
With one of the most advanced fulfilment networks in the world, your business can benefit from our expertise. Through Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) you store your products in Amazon's fulfilment centres, and we pick, pack, ship, and provide customer service for these products - so you can focus on building your business.
Which selling plan is right for me?
Selling on Amazon offers two selling plans: Professional and Individual. Consider the features available for each and choose the selling plan that best suits your needs.
With a Professional account, you'll benefit from powerful bulk listing and reporting tools at no extra charge, you'll have the opportunity to improve discoverability of your products with top placement, as well as the ability to sell in more categories - all for a monthly subscription fee and other selling fees.
With an Individual account, listing is easy using our online tools, whether you're listing products already available on Amazon.ca or listing unique products. There's no monthly subscription fee, and you only pay selling fees when someone buys your products.
