Set up Business Credit Account

When you create your Amazon Business account, we determine if you qualify for Business Credit Account. If your account is eligible, we'll email setup instructions to the account administrator. Administrators can edit Business Credit Account settings from the Business Settings page. Learn about Business Credit Account templates, groups, payment settings, and banking documentation.

Choose a Business Credit Account contact

When you first set up Business Credit Account, choose a contact that we can reach if there are questions about the account or payments. We recommend choosing an account administrator as the primary contact and a finance user as a secondary contact. Contacts without finance or administrator permissions can still communicate with Amazon about payments, but they cannot access the following in the account: invoices, credit memos, reporting, or payment functions. Learn more about user roles and permissions.

Set up invoice templates

We use invoice templates to customize which groups receive invoices, where they're sent, and what information they include. To use Business Credit Account, an account administrator must first set up at least 1 invoice template.

To create or edit invoice templates:

1. Select Business Settings in the Your Account drop-down menu.
2. Select Business Credit Account in the Billing & Shipping section.
3. Select Manage in the Invoice Templates section.
4. Select Create an invoice template or select Edit preference from the Actions drop-down menu of an existing template.

Invoice templates include the following settings:

• Invoice template name — This helps you find the template when using Business Credit Account.
• Billing address — This address will appear on the invoices.
• Invoice frequency — Choose how often we send you invoices. You can change these settings for groups after the initial template setup. Learn more about managing your invoices.
• Invoice recipient — The email address that will receive PDF invoices and credit memos. You can also access invoices from the Your Invoices page.
• Manage groups — The groups that can use the template to buy using Business Credit Account.

After you set up the initial template, you can edit it or create as many more invoice templates as your organization needs, each with customizable preferences tailored to individual groups, including your preferred invoice frequency: per purchase or monthly. This is useful for a range of use cases, such as decentralized accounts payable departments, multiple business locations, or different purchase order (PO) numbers.

To edit an invoice template:

1. Select Business Settings from your Account drop-down menu.
2. Select Business Credit Account under Billing & Shipping.
3. Select Manage under Invoice Templates.
4. Select Edit from the Actions drop-down menu, make the required changes, and select Save.
