Amazon’s VP Amit Agarwal says India is the etailer’s second largest market. With the expansion of online retail in the country, demand for ecommerce is only increasing. This makes it important of etailers to maintain and grow their seller bases.

Amazon like every other online marketplace is looking to gain the trust of online sellers and build its seller resource. To do this, the marketplace is pushing online sellers to join its seller reward program. The program offers a variety of winnings for sellers registered under it. It is similar to the carrot and stick policy, minus negative impact of the stick.

Recent email promotions of the program stated that top performing online sellers under the program will receive recognition for their efforts at an award ceremony along with certificates, cash prizes and other exciting winnings.

How does the Seller Reward Program work?

Once sellers register for the Seller Reward program on Amazon they will receive points based on their achievements subject to the terms and conditions for each offer and the terms and conditions of the program.

Reward points will be accrued in the seller’s rewards account on the Amazon seller rewards website – https://seller-rewards.amazon.in. The account will be updated on a weekly basis. You can redeem the reward points you obtain in the form of:

1. Cash rewards

Cash rewards will depend on the amount redeemed. Accordingly a cash amount will be credited to the seller’s bank account in a subsequent disbursement cycle from the date when the rewards were redeemed.

2. Amazon.in gift cards

If the Amazon.in gift card is selected as a reward, the seller will receive an Amazon.in Gift card according to the amount of reward points redeemed.

3. Services under SPN (Service Provider Network)

This option allows sellers to pick free services like Amazon boost, cataloguing and listing, advertising optimisation or transportation.

Benefits of the Seller Reward Program:

This program has been developed by Amazon to help online sellers grow on the platform and make an extra bit of cash as a bonus.

Online sellers can earn about 1400 reward points for simply launching FBA in 30 day of registration for the fulfilment service. 25 rewards point will be offered to online sellers who bring unique goods to Amazon fulfilment centres. These are just a few of the offers to earn seller rewards.
