If you buy supplies for your business through Amazon, take a moment to check which kind of account you are using.
A personal Amazon account lets you shop for the things you need. An Amazon Business account is built specifically for business purchasing. It can give eligible businesses access to business-only pricing, quantity discounts, purchasing controls, tax-exempt purchasing, and other useful features.
The account is free to create. Mighty can help you register in person, also at no cost.
Here is what you need to know.
What is an Amazon Business account?
An Amazon Business account gives businesses a dedicated place to manage their Amazon purchases.
You can keep business orders separate from personal shopping, add people from your team, and set up purchasing rules that fit the way your business operates. You may also get access to pricing and payment features that are not available through a personal account.
Amazon Business is available to businesses and other eligible organizations. That includes independent retailers, restaurants, contractors, healthcare practices, nonprofits, and many other organizations that buy supplies.
What could you be missing with a personal account?
The features available to you will depend on your business, purchasing needs, and eligibility. Here are some of the main reasons to consider an Amazon Business account.
Business-only pricing
Some products include prices created specifically for Amazon Business customers. These prices are not always available through a personal account.
If you regularly buy cleaning products, office supplies, tools, packaging, electronics, or other business essentials, it is worth checking whether business pricing is available.
Quantity discounts
Buying several of the same item? Eligible products may offer lower prices when you purchase in larger quantities.
That can be useful for a restaurant stocking takeout supplies, a contractor ordering materials for the team, or a dental practice buying everyday office and cleaning products.
Tax-exempt purchasing
Eligible organizations can enroll in the Amazon Tax Exemption Program and apply their tax-exempt status to qualifying purchases from participating sellers.
The setup requires the right tax information and documentation. Once approved, the exemption can be applied to eligible orders through the business account.
Pay by Invoice
Eligible Amazon Business customers may be able to use Pay by Invoice. This lets a business place orders and pay by invoice instead of paying for each purchase at checkout.
Approval and payment terms are determined by Amazon Business. The feature may not be available to every account.
Team access and purchasing controls
A business account can include multiple people without requiring everyone to share one personal login.
You can assign roles, create approval steps, and set purchasing policies for your team. That can make it easier to manage who buys what and keep business purchasing organized.
Business order records
Keeping business purchases in a dedicated account can make it easier to review orders, track spending, and find the information your bookkeeper or accountant needs.
Instead of sorting personal and business orders later, you have a clearer record from the start.
Can you register on your own?
Yes. A business owner can create an Amazon Business account online.
Mighty offers another option: an Authorized Mighty Rep can meet with you in person and help you complete the registration.
The difference is simple.
If you register on your own, you work through the process yourself and find the features you want to use.
If you register with an Authorized Mighty Rep, you have someone there to set up the account with you, show you how the features work, and help you place your first order. They follow up afterward, too.
Either way, the Amazon Business account is yours. The rep is there to make getting started easier.
What happens during an in-person registration?
An Authorized Mighty Rep will meet you at your business and walk you through Amazon Business, from account setup to your first order.
They can help you:
- Set up your account and update your business payment settings (you enter your own payment details, and your rep never handles them)
- Walk through the savings dashboard and the spend analyzer
- Learn the key features and the ways to get the most from your account
- Understand how points work
- Build and place your first order
- Follow up on that order afterward
If your business needs them, your rep can also help with tax-exempt documentation, medical licenses, and delivery hours. Some features require separate eligibility or approval from Amazon, and your rep can explain what that involves.
Authorized Mighty Reps represent Mighty as part of its work with Amazon Business. They are not Amazon employees, and they do not make decisions about account approval, credit, payment terms, or tax-exempt status.
Want to be sure the person at your door is the real thing? Here is how to verify an Authorized Mighty Rep, and who Mighty is.
Their role goes beyond registration. They help with account setup, explain how the main features work, support your first order, and follow up so you feel comfortable using the account.
Why does Mighty provide this help for free?
Mighty and Amazon Business have partnered to help more small businesses register for Amazon Business in person.
Amazon pays Mighty for this registration work. There is no fee from Mighty for the visit or registration help.
You can review the information, ask questions, and decide whether an Amazon Business account makes sense for your business.
Is it time to separate business from personal buying?
If you use Amazon for business purchases, a dedicated Amazon Business account may give you a better way to buy and manage those orders.
You may find business-only pricing, quantity discounts, clearer purchasing records, and features that help your team stay organized. Not every feature is available to every business, but registering gives you a chance to see what is available for yours.
You do not have to work through it alone.
An Authorized Mighty Rep can meet you in person, help you register, show you how the account works, and help you place your first order.
