Have you come across those brief, snappy videos on social media that show you how to build your business empire by selling products on e-commerce platforms? If you're feeling motivated, you can start your journey quite soon! Registering as an individual seller on Amazon is straightforward, requiring only basic documentation and registration.
Here's everything you need to begin selling on Amazon:
Documents
If you're an individual looking to sell products on Amazon, here's what you'll need:
1. Your Emirates ID
2. A recent bank account statement, credit card statement, or utility bill
3. A bank account to receive proceeds from sales
4. A phone number
If you have a registered business in the UAE and wish to sell products through it, you'll need your Trade Licence. Additionally, if you are a legal representative or account manager, you must submit a Power of Attorney.
Please note, the individual plan is only applicable if you plan to sell fewer than 40 units per month.
How to Register
Registering on the website is quite simple and user-friendly. To register, you'll need a business email address or a customer account on the e-commerce website.
Next, you'll need to choose the plan that suits your needs:
The e-commerce website offers two different plans to accommodate various sellers. The Individual plan provides basic features for those planning to sell fewer than 40 items a month and don't require advanced selling tools or programs. The Professional plan is designed for sellers who expect to sell more than 40 units per month and need access to APIs, selling reports, and other advanced features. This plan is also necessary for those who wish to use bulk tools or advertising services on the platform.
At the time of publishing, the e-commerce platform is offering Professional plans for free as a limited-time offer.
