Expand your reach to business customers
Amazon Business provides a suite of features and tools that can help you connect with business-to-business (B2B) customers. Business customers often buy in larger quantities and return items less—which means you can sell more with less time and effort.

Reach customers shopping on Amazon Business with customized prices, bulk selection, certifications, and other B2B features.
Increase sales with B2B selection
Amazon Business helps you identify B2B product opportunities and connect relevant offers to business customers. Use tools to discover B2B products, respond to customer quote requests, and sell items in bulk.
Optimize your B2B pricing
B2B customers often expect discounts for buying products in larger quantities. We provide multiple tools to support and automate B2B pricing—and to synchronize it with the prices you set for retail customers.
