Amazon’s Featured Offer is a special deal on new products. This link can be found on product detail pages and includes an Add to Cart button. This button allows customers to add the items into their shopping carts. Amazon calls it the Featured Offer when one of your products appears in a product page. To select the offers that will be featured, there are two steps. Amazon determines which products are eligible to feature based upon criteria that provide great customer experience. Amazon then chooses compelling offers from the pool to be featured.
This section will focus on the first step: eligibility. Your eligibility for the Featured Offer (FO) does not guarantee inclusion. You can improve your chances of being included in the Featured Offer by doing certain things.
How can I become eligible for Featured Offer?
Your offers can be included in the FO if you have an Amazon Professional selling Amazon account. Check your account to make sure it is correct and upgrade if needed. Amazon can remove customers from eligibility depending on their account performance and other risk factors. This is to ensure customers have a pleasant shopping experience.
How can I verify if my items qualify for Featured Offer?
Check to see if your products qualify for the FO:
- Check first that the seller is qualified (see above).
- Navigate to Seller Central, and click on Manage Inventory.
- After selecting Buy Box Eligible, click Save Changes.
- In the Buy Box Eligible column, you will see the status of each ASIN.
How the Featured Offer works
Customers can click on the FO button at the top of each product detail page to add it to their shopping carts. Amazon allows multiple sellers to offer the exact same product. This is a crucial feature. Multiple sellers could offer the same product, and all may compete for the title Featured Seller. The product must be able to be shipped to the customer. To be eligible for Featured offer placement, sellers must meet performance-based criteria. Sellers can increase their sales with Featured offers.
How is the Featured offer percentage calculated?
The percentage of featured offers is the sum total of page views for which your Featured offer has been viewed, divided by page views that you get from products you have listed. Only active items will count. If we are unable to calculate your Featured Offer percentage, a ‘-‘ message will be displayed.
