There are many eCommerce platforms around the world, but Amazon is among the most dominant. By capturing over 50% of the European and American markets, the company has exceeded the trillion mark. In addition, the company’s platform has approved sellers from more than 110 counties.
Pakistan has recently been added to the list of authorized sellers, allowing many Pakistani businessmen to conduct their operations from within the country. Would you like to join this industry-leading online marketplace? Are you interested in becoming an Amazon seller but unsure how to get started? Then, you’re in the right place.
How to open an Amazon account: Step by Step Guide
Here you can see how Pakistanis can open an Amazon account to do international commerce. As a result, all Pakistani merchants can sell their products online through Amazon and succeed in the global market.
Step 1. Register as a Seller on the Platform
To get started, go to sellercentral.amazon.com and click on the “Sign Up” button, placed at the top right corner of the page. If you do not already have an Amazon account, click on “Create an Amazon account” instead of filling out the form.
Step 2. OTP Verification
The Amazon platform will generate a one-time password (OTP) once you have provided your email address and password. You will receive the OTP at your email address. Once you’ve entered the OTP, click “Create your Amazon account,” and the account will be created.
Step 3. Choose Your Business Type and Location
To complete this step, you must provide Amazon with your personal information. You should carefully fill out the form to avoid any errors. An error will result in the rejection of your seller account.
Below are the options to select the type of business entity:
- Publicly owned business
- Charity
- Privately owned business
- State-owned business
- None, I am an individual
Choose the options that best describe your business.
You can choose the country where you will be operating from here. For this example, Pakistan is the country that you will choose. The information you provide will be used to verify you, so don’t make the mistake of providing false information.
Your home country must have a postal service and a bank account. Your Amazon account can be verified by any means Amazon chooses.
Step 4. Enter Personal Information
After you have completed the following 5 steps, you will be able to open a new Amazon account.
Entering your personal information is the first step. Next, you will need to choose your country of residence, upload identification confirmation like a passport or driving license, and give a one-time password to verify your contact information.
You will be redirected to the Marketplace form after clicking “next.” Please select the box below, which will allow you to describe the location where you wish to sell your business products.
Your billing information, such as your credit card details, will now be requested by Amazon. Our company will use this information for verification.
You’ll be asked a few questions about your Amazon store and the products you intend to sell as part of the validation process.
You will be asked by Amazon to:
- What is the name of your store?
- Do your listings either have UPCs or do they not?
- Do you own a brand, or are you a manufacturer?
- Are the products you want to sell covered by a registered trademark?
Verify your company’s address as your final step. You will receive a postcard from Amazon with a special code. Please allow up to seven days for this process to complete. And Just like that, your account is created on Amazone.
