Add Associated Accounts

The Associated Account program allows related Amazon Business accounts to share benefits.

The Associated Account program allows related Amazon Business accounts (such as franchisee relationships, members of group purchasing organizations (GPOs), or members of industry associations) to share benefits while still functioning independently.

Under this program, a main account (the Lead Account) can invite other businesses (such as franchisees or GPO members) to join their association. The invited accounts (Associated Child Accounts) can join the association using new or existing Amazon Business accounts.

For example, franchise owners can maintain a Lead Account and invite their franchisees to join the association as Associated Child Accounts. Once grouped together, every account in an association can use certain-earned benefits while still operating individually.

To create an Associated Child account from an existing Amazon Business account:

1. Select the Join Association link in your organization's registration document.
2. Select Join with my Amazon Business account and sign in.
3. Enter your franchise or other association code and select Submit Code.
4. Fill out the Business Info page and select Create Business Account.

To create an Association Child Account without an existing Amazon Business account:

1. Select the Join Association link in your organization's registration document.
2. Select Create an account so I can join.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to create a new account.

   At this stage, you'll also have the option to convert or split an existing Amazon account into an Amazon Business account.

4. Enter your franchise or association code and select Submit Code.
5. Fill out the Business Info page and select Create Business Account.
