Granting Amazon Seller Central Access

Why SFP is so critical for your growth

Securing SFP Prime status holds the potential to revolutionize your business. With over 150 million Prime members, earning the Prime badge and achieving swifter delivery times can catalyze significant sales growth---often by an impressive 30-40% compared to 4+ day shipping. Yet, the path to meeting Amazon's stringent requirements for SFP is no simple feat. We must uphold exemplary metrics across various dimensions such as On-Time Delivery and tracking rates, all meticulously scrutinized by Amazon on a weekly basis.

Navigating these exacting demands can seem daunting, but fear not---we're here to guide you every step of the way. Our expertise lies in empowering brands to access and maintain Prime status by finely tuning inventory placement, refining shipping templates, and ensuring unwavering compliance with Prime's rigorous standards.

What we need to drive SFP compliance

To unleash the full potential of SFP, we require limited access to your Amazon Seller Central Account. This access enables us to closely monitor the pertinent metrics, enact dynamic adjustments, and diligently uphold Prime standards on your behalf.

We understand that granting access may raise apprehensions. However, we want to assure you that our request is solely focused on obtaining critical features and reports essential for optimizing our partnership and meeting Amazon's exacting standards. This limited access is paramount for us to safeguard your Prime status and augment your visibility and customer satisfaction on Amazon.

By entrusting us with specific access, you empower us to not only secure but also sustain your Prime status, ensuring continued success on Amazon. These permissions are restricted to actions indispensable for managing inventory, optimizing Prime metrics, and accurately reporting performance.
