But now, let’s try to understand the requirements for getting approval to sell gated categories on Amazon. First of all, keep in mind that each of the restricted categories has its own requirements for selling, so if you decide to sell several restricted products on Amazon, you should ask permission for each of them separately.
As we have mentioned before, each of the gated products has its own requirements. However, there are several points which sellers need to qualify for:
- Being a professional Amazon seller
- Spick and span Performance Metrics
- Complete supplier information (addresses, phone numbers, websites, contact info, etc)
Invoices, Invoices!
Keep in mind that invoices play a crucial role in the process of getting approval any restricted category. That’s because you can use them to show Amazon that all your products are coming from authorized suppliers and you are going to sell 100% genuine products on this platform. Therefore, try to ensure that all your invoices are legal, and have a valid expiration date.
As you can see, getting approval for selling restricted products on Amazon can sometimes be a hard and time-intensive process. Try to make sure that the game is worth the candle. And if it is, get all the required documents and start off strong!
