Amazon Seller Wallet: How to Store, Manage, and Transfer Your Sales Proceeds
Amazon Seller Wallet is a digital account that lets sellers store marketplace proceeds and control when to convert and transfer earnings to their bank, offering more flexibility than automatic disbursements.
Overview
Amazon Seller Wallet is a digital account service that lets sellers store their marketplace sales proceeds and gain greater control over when and how much to convert into their local currency. Rather than having earnings automatically disbursed to a bank account, sellers can hold funds in their Seller Wallet and initiate transfers on their own schedule — offering more flexibility for international sellers managing currency conversion timing.
Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know
- Digital proceeds storage — Seller Wallet lets you hold your Amazon sales earnings in a virtual account instead of having them immediately sent to your bank, giving you control over conversion timing and amounts.
- US store requirement — You must have a registered selling account on the US Amazon store to be eligible for a Seller Wallet account.
- Good account health required — Your US seller account must be in good standing before you can open a Seller Wallet. You can verify your status through the Account Health dashboard in Seller Central.
- Separate USD and EUR wallets — Seller Wallet is available for the US store (USD) and several EU stores (EUR), but the two wallets are independent and do not support transfers between them.
- Replaces your primary deposit method — Once registered, Seller Wallet becomes your primary deposit method and sales proceeds are automatically settled into it. Your previous bank account becomes a secondary deposit method.
- Flexible transfer scheduling — You can set up one-time or recurring transfers from your Wallet balance to a verified bank account, choosing custom amounts or full-balance sweeps.
Eligibility Requirements
To use Amazon Seller Wallet, sellers must meet several criteria. First, you need an active selling account on the US store that is in good account health. You must also provide proof of business establishment — or proof of residency if you operate as an individual seller — along with a local phone number in one of the supported countries or regions. Additionally, sellers with an outstanding loan from a third-party lender through Amazon's lending program are not eligible. Amazon requires that the Wallet be used exclusively for business or commercial purposes.
