Each answer is the one at the top of its guide.
How do I create Amazon Virtual Product Bundles?
To create an Amazon Virtual Product Bundle you need a Brand Representative or Authorized Reseller role on a Brand Registry brand, then open Brands and select Virtual Product Bundles in Seller Central. Pick two to five complementary ASINs that share the same fulfillment type, have active New-condition inventory, set a discount percentage, choose a main component, write the title and bullets, add images, and publish. Components ship separately from existing inventory. There is no extra fee to create or sell a virtual bundle.
How do I create an Amazon Brand Store?
To create an Amazon Brand Store you need a Professional selling plan, a brand enrolled in Amazon Brand Registry and an Amazon Ads account. The Store itself is free. In Seller Central, hover over Stores, select Manage Stores, then Create Brand Store. Add a logo of at least 400 x 400 pixels, build at least three levels of pages, preview on mobile and desktop, then select Submit for publishing. Amazon says review usually takes under 24 hours, but may take longer.
How do I get more Amazon reviews the allowed way?
Amazon gives sellers three allowed ways to ask for reviews. Click Request a Review on an order's details page in Seller Central, once per order, 5 to 30 days after delivery. Enroll new or lightly reviewed FBA products in Amazon Vine, which sends up to 30 free units to trusted reviewers for $0 to $200 per parent product. And if the product has fewer than 1,000 ratings and reviews, run Review Requests ads, now in US open beta. Never offer anything in return or ask only happy buyers.
How do I enroll in Amazon Brand Registry without a rejection?
Brand Registry is free. You need a logo with your brand name permanently on the product or its packaging, and a registered trademark (in some cases a pending one) that you own, issued by the government office of a country with an Amazon store. Sign in with your Seller Central login, click Enroll your brand, add the trademark number, logo images and product categories, then track the application on the Brand Applications page.
