What is the Amazon B2B sale?
Amazon is the main online store for millions of customers. People buy on Amazon around the clock, all year round. However, until 2015, B2B sales on Amazon did not grow rapidly. This situation changed drastically when Amazon launched the new Amazon Business program in 2015.
Since 2015, Amazon has increased its market share of B2B. In the first year alone, Amazon Business sales reached $1 billion. Hundreds and thousands of companies bought their products to the platform and sold it to other people using Amazon Business Account.
What is Amazon Business Account?
Amazon Business is the Amazon website version for business customers whose needs are different from those of ordinary customers. For example, the Amazon Business allows multiple users to use one business account at once. They also have access to additional payment methods and credit. Besides, Amazon Business offers fast delivery and discounts on wholesale orders.
The advantage of Amazon Business is that all sales can take place from one account. You can do both B2B and B2C sales. At the same time, for business customers, you can offer a different assortment, prices, and conditions.
Main advantages of Amazon Business account
– Each one of the following benefits plays a major role in the B2B sales cycle:
– Wholesale prices and discounts
– Multi-user account

Amazon Business created lots of features to simplify B2B communication and sales. For example, a multi-user account allows different employees of the same company to track orders, change the delivery address, add multiple addresses, or choose different payment methods.
Amazon offers for Business Prime accounts Free One-Day Shipping on millions of items, or Free Same-Day Delivery on eligible orders, or unlimited FREE Two-Day Shipping. Prices and discount sizes for a business account also differ from offers for an ordinary buyer.
Amazon also took care of the assortment for B2B. Business account owners can easily find specific products. For example, road signs or industrial equipment.
