How to Add Business Prices and Quantity Discounts Using Feed Files
Explains how Amazon sellers can use feed files to add business-specific pricing and tiered quantity discounts to their listings, covering both fixed and percentage discount models with up to five tiers.
Overview
Amazon sellers who want to offer special pricing to Amazon Business customers can do so by uploading feed files through Seller Central. This process allows you to set a dedicated business price and create tiered quantity discounts that incentivize bulk purchases — a key strategy for capturing B2B orders on the platform.
Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know
- Business pricing is an add-on, not a replacement — Adding business prices through a feed file supplements your existing consumer offer rather than replacing it. Your standard retail price remains intact for individual buyers.
- Business price must be at or below your standard price — If your business price exceeds your standard retail price, Amazon will not activate it. Set it equal to your standard price only if you plan to offer quantity discounts exclusively.
- Two quantity discount models are available — You can choose between a "fixed" model, where you set specific per-unit prices at each tier, or a "percent" model, where discounts are calculated as a percentage off your business price.
- Up to five discount tiers are supported — Each tier is defined by a lower-bound quantity threshold, giving you flexibility to reward increasingly large orders with steeper discounts.
- Fee savings may apply — Orders that include business prices or quantity discounts offering at least a 3% discount off the standard price may qualify for reduced fulfillment fees, including FBA multi-unit fulfillment fee discounts and bulk order fee discounts.
- FBA sellers must leave certain fields blank — The quantity and leadtime-to-ship columns are intended for seller-fulfilled listings only. Entering values in these fields will convert your FBA offer to a seller-fulfilled offer, which could disrupt your fulfillment setup.
How Feed Files Work
To load business prices, you need to download one of Amazon's business-specific feed files or use a category-specific feed file. If you already have an active listing with standard consumer pricing, you do not need to create a new offer — you can simply add business pricing fields to your existing product feed. For sellers who have not previously listed a product, the first step is creating the listing using a category-specific feed, then layering on business pricing and quantity discounts through the designated columns in that same file.

Why This Matters
Amazon Business is a growing B2B channel, and sellers who configure business pricing and quantity discounts can capture bulk orders, increase average order value, and potentially qualify for reduced FBA fulfillment fees.
