Join Amazon Launchpad to discover new ways to help grow your brand and sell your innovations to Amazon customers.
What is Amazon Launchpad?
Amazon Launchpad is a programme that helps entrepreneurs launch and boost the sales of innovative brands on Amazon by giving members access to benefits. Thousands of cutting-edge brands worldwide have taken advantage of Amazon Launchpad’s customer engagement tools, merchandising, and strategic support to improve discoverability and help grow sales. Amazon Launchpad welcomes innovative startups and small/medium brands with a unique selling point.
“Our original goal was to gain exposure outside of the niche categories we fall in within Amazon, and we came out with far more than that. We're still growing as a brand and Amazon Launchpad gave us the extra boost to reach our sales goals.”
Dan Eisenhardt, Founder and CEO of FORM

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Amazon Launchpad for?
I already sell on Amazon, can I join?
Yes, if you are already selling on Amazon, you can participate in the Amazon Launchpad programme. Complete our programme application form, and we will get back to you within ten days.
How do your fees work?
Selling Partners on Amazon Launchpad pay an incremental 5% referral fee, in addition to the standard category referral fee on each item sold. The additional fee applies to all sales on the account and is charged based on the total sum paid for the item by the customer, including all applicable taxes and customs fees.
Do I have to reapply if I already sell with Amazon Launchpad in another country?
If you are part of our three North American stores (Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, Amazon.com.mx), Australian store (Amazon.co.au) or Indian store (Amazon.in) you will need to reapply to join Amazon Launchpad Europe. If you join Amazon Launchpad on Amazon.co.uk, the programme will automatically enrol you in all six European stores (Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.it, Amazon.es, Amazon.nl) without reapplying.
