Amazon Expands Percentage Off Coupon Use: What Sellers Need to Know
Amazon now allows customers to apply percentage-off coupons to up to five items per order instead of just one, providing benefits for both sellers and buyers.
- Cost Savings: By applying discounts on multiple items in a single order, sellers can reduce order volume and delivery costs—especially helpful for high-demand items.
- Coupon Options: When creating a percentage-off coupon in Seller Central, sellers can choose “No” for Limit redemption to one per customer to allow multi-item discounts (up to five per order) or select “Yes” to restrict it to one item per order.
