Amazon now offers FBA fulfillment fee discounts on bulk orders from Amazon Business customers. Sellers who set a business price or quantity discount of at least 3% off their standard price qualify for reduced per-unit fulfillment fees on multi-unit orders.
Overview
Amazon introduced an FBA fulfillment fee discount for sellers who offer business pricing to Amazon Business customers. Effective 2025, sellers who set a business price or quantity discount of at least 3% off standard retail price qualify for reduced multi-unit fulfillment fees on bulk orders. The discount applies automatically to orders from Amazon Business's 8 million registered buyers.
Key Points
