Are you
unsure of the process for getting topical product approval on Amazon? And where
do you even begin?
Attempts
turned down repeatedly? Are you going to try it again? That's fantastic! We'll
assist you in understanding the procedures, requirements, and steps involved in
getting topical product approval on Amazon.
WHAT IS
NEEDED IN ORDER TO START?
For topical
products on Amazon and the other banned items, the application process is
essentially the same. Make sure you meet these prerequisites before starting
the topical product application process.
1. PROFESSIONAL SELLER
ACCOUNT
To begin the
process of becoming approved for topical items on Amazon, you must have a
Professional Seller account.
In addition
to the additional selling fees, a $39.99 monthly price is associated with the
Professional selling plan, which grants you the ability to sell an infinite
number of things on Amazon.
2. HEALTH of SELLER ACCOUNT
These
elements are especially crucial for you if you're an independent full-service
merchant completing orders. Make sure to keep an eye on and fulfill these
metrics:
· Order defect rate: < 1%
· Pre-fulfillment cancel rate: <
2.5%
· Late shipment rate: < 4%
Click
Performance > Customer Satisfaction > Account Health after logging into
your Seller Central account to locate these.
To find out
if your Amazon account health metrics match or exceed the recommended values,
you can check them.
3. GET
ITEMS FROM A VERIFIED WHOLESALER
You must
display the cumulative purchase of at least ten products on Amazon. In order to
apply for ungating, you must acquire a minimum of ten products within three
distinct restricted categories.
Make sure
the products fall into the restricted category that you intend to offer.
Additionally, confirm that the ASINs you choose are already available on
Amazon.
In this
case, the goal of buying goods from the wholesaler is to obtain ungated rather
than to turn a profit. In this way, you can select low- to mid-value things
rather than expensive ones.
4.
INVOICE
Make sure
you enter the exact data that correspond to your Seller Central account when
making a purchase from a wholesaler. Check your name, address, phone number,
and email address.
Put the
seller's name at the top of the bills if it isn't already there. On the
invoice, make sure to include the item model number, ASIN, and UPC for every
product. Turn off all prices.
Once all the
information has been added, you can either take a picture of the invoice or
scan it.
5. PHOTO
REQUIREMENTS
Now that you
have your purchase order, invoice, and merchandise, it’s time to upload the
images.
Amazon has
specific image requirements! If you meet other criteria but fail on
photography, you will not be able to list the item on Amazon.
Product
photography is an essential part of online and offline business, so we
recommend you to check some product photography companies doing well
Photos of
the topical products or their packaging requirements:
➤ Live photos, rather than
computer-generated images
➤ Clearly display all sides of the
product or packaging
➤ Include model number, product name
or both
➤ Include the name and physical
location of the business or manufacturer
➤ The information must be in the
country’s local language.
All set, now
it’s time to apply and get approval!!

your paperwork is prepared, it's time to send in your application.

not your application is accepted, you will receive a confirmation email.
Additionally, the "Selling Application Status" option allows you to
