How to Merge Your Amazon Seller Accounts for Multi-Country Selling
Amazon's account merging feature lets sellers unify their international marketplace accounts into one, enabling easier multi-country management and a capped Professional subscription fee of $39.99 USD/month across all marketplaces.
Overview
Amazon allows sellers to merge their accounts across international marketplaces into a unified selling experience. This feature simplifies managing operations in multiple countries and unlocks discounted Professional selling plan subscription fees — potentially saving sellers hundreds of dollars per year. Understanding how account merging works is essential for any seller looking to expand internationally or streamline existing multi-country operations.
Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know
- Merging is permanent — Once you merge your accounts, the action cannot be undone. There is no way to separate merged accounts after the fact, so sellers must be certain before proceeding.
- Only account owners can merge — If you use a virtual assistant, web agency, or integrator to manage your account, they should not perform the merge. The actual account owner must complete this process directly.
- Subscription fee savings are significant — Merged accounts pay no more than the equivalent of $39.99 USD per month total across all countries, rather than paying full subscription fees in each marketplace separately.
- Merged accounts appear in the store switcher — After merging, all your international accounts will be accessible from the top navigation bar in Seller Central, making it easy to switch between marketplaces.
- New country registrations merge automatically — When you register to sell in a new country through the "Sell Globally" workflow, the new account is automatically merged with your existing accounts.
How to Merge Existing Accounts
If you already sell in multiple countries and want to unify those separate accounts, the process begins by signing into Seller Central and selecting "Sell Globally" from the navigation menu. From there, navigate to the "Merge Accounts" tab and follow the on-screen instructions to select the accounts you wish to combine. You will be prompted to sign in with the credentials for each account you want to merge, and Amazon will show a preview of the newly merged account structure before you confirm. After reviewing the preview, you accept the terms and conditions and click the "Link and Merge" button to finalize the process.
