You can now allow customers to apply your percentage off coupon on up to five items per order.
Previously, customers could use only one coupon per order and often made multiple purchases to save on each item. This change lowers the number of orders that you need to process and can reduce your delivery costs.
When you create a coupon in Seller Central and select No for Limit redemption to one per customer, your percentage off coupon can be applied to a maximum of five items per order. If you select Yes, only one coupon will be allowed per order.
Here are examples of how it works:
This change doesn’t apply to money off coupons, which are limited to one per order even when the option for Limit redemption to one per customer is set to No. Customers can use the money off coupon multiple times only if they make separate purchases.
To get started, go to Create a coupon.

Effective September 30, 2024, if Amazon requires you to submit product compliance documents, these must be submitted and approved before you can list the product.
To ensure that the products sold on Amazon are held to the highest standards and are safe for customers to use, you must be able to demonstrate through appropriate compliance documentation that all the products you offer on Amazon meet regulatory and policy requirements.
This update does not make changes to existing compliance requirements, and existing product listings will not be impacted. New products won’t be listed until all required compliance documentation has been submitted and approved. You can do this through the Manage All Inventory dashboard. Customer safety is our top priority and we may ask for additional information to verify product safety and compliance at any time.
For more information about this change, go to Creating new selection with compliance requirements.
As part of our Payments based on delivery date policy, we typically reserve your sales proceeds until seven days after an order is delivered.
To provide you with more visibility into these funds that we've reserved, we've added a new deferred transactions status on the Payments dashboard.
By November 1, your delivery date reserve amounts will display as Deferred transactions in the Total balance box at the top of the Payments dashboard. Until then, they may still display under the account-level reserve field on your Payments dashboard and reports. Note that if you aren't subject to our delivery date policy, your dashboard won't be changed.
To view more details, click the deferred transactions balance. The Transaction view page will display the list of orders that make up this balance, the deferral reason, and the estimated payment release date for each order.
To download a detailed report of your deferred transactions, follow these steps:
When a transaction is updated from deferred to released, it will no longer be included on the Deferred Transaction report. To download all released transactions from a specific period, select the Transaction report type.
Only new transactions posted after this change will show as deferred. Older transactions will remain reserved under account-level reserves until they are released for payment. You may also still see an account-level reserve if one of your orders has received a claim or chargeback, or if your account is under review.
Note that deferred transactions won't be included in the chart on the Payments dashboard, and they will only appear there after they're released.
For more information, go to What is a deferred transaction?
