Who can use Sponsored Products?

Sponsored Products are available for professional sellers, vendors, and book vendors. Products must be in one or more eligible categories and be eligible for the Buy Box in order to advertise.

How Sponsored Products work

Get discovered

Ads appear right where customers will see them, such as the first page of search results and product pages, providing an instant visibility boost.

Increase sales

Sponsored Products help you grow your sales on Amazon by reaching customers who are searching for products like yours and driving them to your product page.

Control costs

Ads are cost-per-click, so you pay only when customers click your ads. You control how much you spend by setting your budget and choosing how much to bid per click.

Frequently asked questions

Where will my Sponsored Products ads appear?

Your ads may be displayed on top of, alongside, or within search results and on product pages. Ads may appear on both desktop and mobile.

How much does Sponsored Products cost?

You bid the maximum amount that you're willing to pay when a shopper clicks an ad for your product. The more competitive your bid, the more likely your ad is to be displayed when it matches an Amazon customer's search.

What products are not eligible for Sponsored Products?

At this time, we do not support adult products, used products, refurbished products, and products in closed categories.

What is the Buy Box?

The Buy Box is the box on a product detail page where customers begin the purchase process by adding items to their shopping carts. A key feature of the Amazon website is that multiple sellers can offer the same product, so you may compete with other merchants to appear in the Buy Box. Amazon uses performance-based criteria to determine your Buy Box eligibility and placement status.

What results can I expect from Sponsored Products?

Sponsored Products can help you achieve a variety of goals, from generating awareness of a new product to promoting seasonal items or creating more demand for a best seller.

We provide a range of tools and reports that make it easy to analyse campaign performance and measure success. Once you have launched your campaign, you can view all reports on the reporting page.

What is CPC advertising, and how do I use it?

Cost-per-click (CPC) advertising is a type of paid advertising where ads display at no charge—ad impressions, or views, are free—and the advertiser is charged only when a customer clicks the ad. Sponsored ads—such as Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands —run on the CPC model.
