Accessing Funds in Seller Central

Getting paid for your sales using Checkout by Amazon requires just three simple steps:

1. Set up your checking account. We cannot pay you until you specify your ACH-enabled checking account; ACH (Automated Clearing House) means that we can directly deposit your funds.
2. Sell your products using Checkout by Amazon buttons, and ship them only to the addresses specified in the order details page. You must ship products only to the addresses in your order detail pages.
3. Confirm shipment of orders as soon as possible, but no later than 30 days after the sale is completed. Confirming shipments is easy, and it is also required for payment.

Note: It takes at least 14 days between the time you first set up (or change) your bank account information and the time when we are able to disburse your funds. Also, there is usually a 3 to 5 day period between the time we first post your disbursement to the time when it appears in your bank account.

1. In Seller Central, click Settings, and then click Account Info.
2. Next to Bank Account Information, click Edit. The Bank Account Information page appears.
3. Enter your Bank Sort Code (the bank account routing number). This is the 9 digit number for your bank (which you can find on a check or bank statement).
4. Enter your Bank Account Number. The illustration below shows routing and bank account numbers.

1. Put buttons on your website to sell your products.
2. Check your orders daily using the Manage Orders feature in Seller Central.
3. Ship your orders as soon as you can. Shipping quickly is key to gaining customer loyalty.

After you ship your order, you confirm shipment. Confirming shipment is required. You tell us that you have sent the order, including the date sent, the carrier used, and any tracking information about the package. As soon as you confirm shipment, we charge the customer. If you do not confirm shipment, then you are not be paid for the order. After 30 calendar days have elapsed after an order was placed, and shipment is not confirmed, we automatically cancel it. See the User Agreement for more information.

To confirm your shipments, you can either review the order in Manage Orders and click the Confirm shipment button for each order, or you can send a fulfillment feed on a regular basis. See Confirming Shipments for more information about fulfillment feeds.

Note: Be sure to sign in to Seller Central regularly. You will see a notice on your home page if you have orders in danger of automatic cancellation.

On a regular basis, we disburse payments to your bank. See Adding & Managing a Bank Account for information on setting up your bank account information.
