Amazon Seller Wallet Registration: Eligibility, Documents, and How to Get Started
Covers the eligibility requirements, required documents, and step-by-step process for registering for Amazon Seller Wallet, which lets sellers hold and manage earnings in multiple currencies.
Overview
Amazon Seller Wallet is a financial management tool that allows sellers to hold, manage, and transfer their Amazon earnings in multiple currencies without immediately converting funds to their local currency. Understanding the registration process and eligibility requirements is essential for sellers who want to take advantage of this service to reduce currency conversion costs and gain more control over their international proceeds.
Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know
- Active US seller account required — You must have an active Amazon seller account registered in the US marketplace to be eligible for Seller Wallet. Accounts on other marketplaces alone do not qualify.
- Good account health is mandatory — Your US seller account must be in good standing with no unresolved account health issues. Check your Account Health dashboard in Seller Central to confirm your eligibility status.
- Business or commercial use only — Seller Wallet is strictly for business and commercial purposes. Personal use of the service is not permitted under Amazon's terms.
- No outstanding Amazon Lending loans — If you currently have an unpaid loan from a third-party lender through the Amazon Lending program, you cannot register for Seller Wallet until that loan is fully paid off and closed.
- Proof of business establishment needed — You must be able to provide documentation proving your business exists in one of the supported countries or regions, along with a local phone number in that country.
- Individual sellers can also apply — If you operate as an individual seller rather than a registered business, you can still use Seller Wallet by providing proof of residency instead of business establishment documents.
Registration Requirements and Documents
Before starting the registration process, sellers should gather all necessary business information and supporting documents. Amazon's verification process varies by applicant, so you may be asked for fewer or more documents than the standard list. Generally, you should prepare the following: proof of business existence, a valid identification document such as a passport for the point of contact and all beneficial owners of the business, and proof-of-address documents for the business entity, the point of contact, and all beneficial owners. Each proof-of-address document must be dated within 180 days and the name on the document must match the corresponding entity or individual.
