• Click Settings, then Account Info, from your seller account.

What is the Amazon Buy Box, and how does it work?

• Customers can add things to their cart in the Buy Box, a white box on the right side of the Amazon product description page.
• The Buy Box is not available to all merchants.
• Only firms with vital seller metrics have a chance to win a piece of this valuable real estate, thanks to fierce competition and Amazon’s customer-centric approach.
• Understanding how Amazon’s algorithms work will enable you to improve your performance on essential variables, increasing your chances of winning the Buy Box and outperforming the competition.

The competition for the Changing Buy Box is heating up: According to Inc.com, Amazon is eliminating the one-click buy button from some product listings if it is available for a lesser price elsewhere. It’s referred to as “purchase box suppression” by some merchants. 

“Sellers set their product prices in our shop,” an Amazon spokeswoman said of the phantom buy boxes. If a vendor does not price a product competitively, we reserve the right not to feature that deal. All offers are still listed on the offer listings page for customers.”

What Happened to the Percentage Score for Perfect Orders? 

• This statistic, which used to influence the Buy Box significantly, has been de-emphasized.
• New Buy Box Research: A new study from Northeastern University investigates the relationship between algorithmic repricing, increased prices, and winning the Buy Box.
• The Crucial Elements of a Buy Box
• While we talk about winning the Buy Box, it’s probably more accurate to say that a seller wins or loses a piece of it.
• After a merchant meets Amazon’s minimal eligibility requirements, the Buy Box algorithm categories vendors based on various factors. 
• Amazon pits competitors against each other for the same product to see how they stack up on each variable.
