What do I need to do to create a Handmade shop?
First, you will need to set up a Selling Account with Amazon. You can get started by visiting, How to start selling on Amazon. Once you have completed registration, you can apply to sell in Amazon Handmade, where we will request details about your products and business to ensure the integrity of the Handmade store. Once you are approved, resources are available to create your first Handmade listing and manage your business.
What categories are available on Handmade?
Handmade is open to Artisans who make Accessories, Artwork, Baby, Beauty & Personal Care, Clothing, Shoes & Handbags, Home, Outdoor & Home Care, Jewelry & Watches, Kitchen & Dining, Pet Supplies, Sporting Goods, Stationery & Party Supplies and Toys & Games. If you don’t see your category listed, this means we do not allow the sale of those items in the Handmade store. Popular categories not currently available include Digital or Downloadable Products, Food & Grocery items, and Electronics. You may consider registering to sell and listing your products in another Amazon store, or check back in the future to see if the category becomes available on Handmade.
What if I already sell in Amazon’s online store?
No problem! Once you complete your Handmade application and are approved to sell, you can list your Handmade products in the Handmade store and continue selling your other products outside of Handmade.
Do I have to reapply if I already sell with Handmade in another country?
If you already sell with Handmade on Amazon.com, you can also sell on all three North American stores (Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, Amazon.com.mx) without reapplying. Log in to Seller Central and choose your desired country from the drop-down menu on the upper right corner of your screen. In addition, you can register to sell on our five European stores (Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.it, Amazon.es). Please note, you will be responsible for complying with all rules and regulations for each country that you do business in.
