Everything you need to know about Amazon Business, one of Amazon's fastest-growing ventures
Amazon Business reached $35 billion in annualized sales in 2023. Here's what it is and how it works.
How is Amazon's Business Prime different from consumer Prime?
While Amazon Prime focuses on benefits for individual consumers, Business Prime is built for Amazon Business customers. Business Prime includes the familiar shipping benefits of consumer Prime but adds business-specific features like spending analytics tools that help inform buying policies to make smarter budging decisions.
Business Prime offers five plans designed to fit organizations of varying sizes and needs-from small-business ownersto large-scale enterprises.
What are the benefits of a Business Prime membership?
Depending on the plan they choose, Business Prime members receive several key benefits:
-
Fast, free shipping on eligible items across all users on a single plan who have access to business-only pricing and quantity discounts available for Amazon Business customers
-
Enhanced access to Spend Visibility dashboards that provide analytics on your organization's purchasing
-
More Guided Buying capabilities that steer employees toward preferred purchasing behaviors
-
Extended payment terms on eligible orders (varies by plan level and subject to approval)
-
Member-only offers and deals throughout the year
-
Business Prime Rewards on eligible orders-like up to 6% back when you buy brands by Amazon, depending on your plan-or when you take key actions in your account (Available for members on the Duo, Essentials, and Small plans in the U.S.)
How much does Business Prime cost?
Business Prime offers five membership plans at different price points, based on the number of users in your organization:

Yes, you need to create a free Amazon Business accountbefore you can subscribe to Business Prime. Amazon Business accounts provide business-specific features like multi-user accounts and business-only pricing even without a Prime membership.
How does Business Prime save my company money?
Just like the savings and convenience of Prime's all-in-one membership, Business Prime can help reduce costs through eliminating shipping fees on eligible items, providing analytics to identify spending patterns and opportunities for consolidation, enabling buying policies that direct purchases to preferred products and suppliers, and streamlining the procurement process to save employee time.
