Vendor Central (1P) management

Part of Account management and operations

No reviewed specialists yet

Vendors sell to Amazon as a wholesale supplier (first party, or 1P) instead of selling directly to shoppers. Vendor Central specialists help with purchase orders, catalogue content, retail analytics, operational chargebacks, and annual terms negotiations, and with deciding whether 1P, 3P, or a mix suits your business.

Ask for experience with vendors of a similar size and category, and how they report on chargebacks and profitability.
