Wholesale Account Requirements for Amazon Sellers

What do you need to open a wholesale account? Most suppliers ask for proof that you run a registered business that buys products to resell. Here is what we ask for, and why.

What You Need to Open a Wholesale Account

Registered Business

A business name and address. This can be an LLC, a corporation or a sole proprietorship registered in your state.

EIN

Your Employer Identification Number from the IRS. Applying for an EIN with the IRS is free.

Seller’s Permit or Resale Certificate

Shows that you buy products to resell, so sales tax is handled correctly on wholesale orders. Rules vary by state.

Contact Details

A business email and phone number we can reach you on during the review.

Amazon Storefront (Optional)

If you already sell on Amazon, your storefront link helps us understand your business.

A $1,000 First Order

Our minimum order is $1,000, and you can mix products and categories to reach it.

What Documents Do Suppliers Ask For?

Wholesale account requirements for Amazon sellers vary from supplier to supplier, but most ask for some combination of:

  • An EIN (or proof of your business tax ID)
  • A seller’s permit, sales tax permit or resale certificate
  • Your business name and address
  • Sometimes your Amazon storefront or a trade reference

Having these ready speeds up every wholesale application you make, not just ours.

Can I Open a Wholesale Account Without a Business?

Not with us, and not with most legitimate distributors. Wholesale pricing is for businesses that resell, so suppliers need to see that your business is registered and set up for sales tax.

The good news: registering a sole proprietorship or LLC and getting an EIN is usually quick. Rules vary by state, so check with your state’s tax agency or an accountant.
