Overview

Amazon sellers who receive orders from Amazon Business customers may notice their Seller Central payments view is split across two separate tabs. This occurs because Amazon processes certain business transactions through a distinct legal entity — an LLC — requiring the financial records to be displayed independently. While this can be initially confusing, it does not change the total amount sellers receive or the timing of their disbursements.

Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know

• Two payment tabs exist in Seller Central — Sellers who fulfill Amazon Business orders will see their payment details split between two tabs: one for standard consumer transactions and one for the separate LLC entity that handles business orders.
• Your total payout does not change — The split is purely an accounting and legal distinction. The timing and total amount of your payment remain the same regardless of which tab the transaction appears under.
• Deposits go to the same bank account — All payments, whether from consumer or business orders, continue to be deposited into the bank account you have designated in your seller settings.
• The Payments dashboard summary may appear incomplete — When you log into your seller account, the main balance field under your Payments summary does not include business order payments processed through the LLC entity. You must check the LLC tab separately to see the full picture.
• This only applies to Amazon Business orders — Standard consumer orders are unaffected and continue to appear under the default payment tab as they always have.

How the Dual Payment System Works

Amazon operates multiple legal entities to manage different types of transactions. When a purchase is made through Amazon Business — the B2B marketplace that serves companies, institutions, and organizations — certain regulatory and accounting requirements mean those transactions must be recorded under a separate LLC. For sellers, this manifests as a second tab within the Payments section of Seller Central. The primary tab shows all standard consumer order payments, while the secondary LLC tab displays revenue specifically from Amazon Business orders. Both tabs provide the same level of detail, including individual order breakdowns, fees, and net proceeds. Sellers can freely switch between the two tabs to review their complete payment history.
