Frequently Asked Questions - How to Sell on Amazon? 

This can be a bit daunting, but once you become familiar with the operation of this platform, you will earn a significant amount of money each month. Let's start with the steps you need to take to start your Amazon Vendor Account in Canada.

1. Develop a Plan

The first step toward any successful project is a proper and realistic plan. Understand your business, its demand, target customer base, inventory life, and transportation from your location. If you haven't thought of a product yet, decide first.

2. Arrange a Photo Session

After finalizing the product for sale, arrange a professional product photoshoot. Amazon Canada strictly only allows solid white background images in categories such as home and kitchen, clothing, shoes and bags, electronics, cosmetics, health, personal care, etc. Also, the image size must be at least 1000 X 1000 pixels. Below this limit, images are often suppressed and disappear from your Amazon product page.

If you have a good practical experience in photography, try clicking on the pictures yourself, it will save you a lot of money. Click on at least 5 images of each product - front view, top, side, bottom, and any one of your choice.

I suggest a person/object image with your article to present a realistic view.

3. Prepare Product Details

After completing the professional recording, write down all the descriptions of your product as possible. Color, weight, length, width, height, technical specifications (for electronics, etc.), materials, utilities, special features, SKU number. Unique code that you assign to each of your stock differentiation products.

In Canada and anywhere, there are certain requirements for documents when creating an account. Keep your PAN card, GST certificate, bank account details, business name, email address, business address, mobile number, shipping address, and product category information. With all of the above details, create your Amazon Merchant Account in Central Canada.

5. Get a Brand Register or Apply For GTIN

If you have a trademark certificate for your brand, go directly to the Help box in the seller's main account and request a trademark register. Fill in the basic details like brand, category, and number of SKUs you want to sell, etc. Continue with your trademark certificate.
If you have not yet received the trademark or have applied, get an exemption from GTIN. Here, Amazon gives you the unique code for the number of SKU’s you want to specify. Assuming you have 40 unique products, download an Excel GTIN worksheet from your sales center and follow the details such as SKU, your product title, and image link.
(Dropbox link can be used). Do And apply.

6. Make Your Product List

Once the brand register / GTIN is approved, you can list your products on the website. Download a flat file from the specific category in which you want to list your products (the file can be downloaded from your account). Fill in all the necessary details that the customer needs to know about your product. Filling in about 60 fields for each product may seem like a nightmare, but once you get the command, it gets easier. Save the Excel file in text limited format and upload it.
