Amazon Pricing Types Overview
Pricing Type | Definition & Purpose | Key Requirement |
|---|---|---|
Standard Price | The regular consumer price shown on your Amazon detail page. | Must adhere to fair market pricing standards to maintain the Buy Box. |
List Price | The manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP). | Must be equal to or higher than the Standard Price. Required to run sales. |
Business Price | A discounted price available exclusively to registered Amazon Business accounts. | Must be at least 5% lower than the Standard Price to display the savings badge. |
Q: Why did I lose the Buy Box after raising my price?
A: Amazon monitors price increases and enforces a fair market pricing policy. If you raise your price too quickly (usually beyond 5-10% at a time) or if your product is sold cheaper on another external website, Amazon may revoke your Featured Offer status.
Q: Why is the List Price important?
A: The List Price acts as your MSRP. It must be higher than or equal to your standard price to prevent catalog errors, and it is strictly required by Amazon to run sales discounts or display strikethrough pricing.
Q: How do I get the Business Savings Blue Badge on my listings?
A: You must configure an Amazon Business Price in Seller Central that is at least 5% lower than your regular consumer standard price.
