The Amazon Seller App is a free mobile app from Amazon that helps sellers run their business from a phone. You can check sales, manage orders, edit listings, and even scan barcodes to add or research products. This guide explains what the app does, how to use it, who should use it, and tips to get the most out of it — in simple English.
What is the Amazon Seller App?
The Amazon Seller App is a mobile version of Amazon Seller Central. It lets sellers manage many important tasks without needing a computer. You can see your daily sales, check inventory, respond to messages, handle returns, and watch the performance of your ads and listings. It is designed for both new sellers who want to start quickly and experienced sellers who need to manage the business on the go.
Where to download the app
You can download the app from the Google Play Store (Android) or the Apple App Store (iPhone). The app is free to download and use; costs come from selling fees, shipping, or advertising if you choose those services. In some countries, Amazon also lists the app on official seller pages where you can find help and download links. (Google Play)

Check account health often: The app makes it easy to watch account metrics that affect your seller limits or listing visibility. Fix issues quickly from your phone. (App Store)
-
Reply fast to buyers: Fast replies improve your seller rating. Use pre-written message templates on your phone to save time. (Sell on Amazon)

Use Wi-Fi for uploads: When uploading images or many listings, use Wi-Fi to save mobile data and avoid interruptions.
App vs. Amazon Business app — what’s the difference?
Don’t confuse the Amazon Seller App with the Amazon Business app. The Seller App is for people who sell on Amazon (manage storefront, orders, listings). The Amazon Business app is for business buyers who want B2B purchasing features like bulk pricing and business-only selection. If you’re a seller, use the Seller App; if you buy for your company, use Amazon Business. (Google Play)
Common problems and how to fix them
-
Login issues: Make sure your Seller Central credentials are correct and two-step verification (if on) is set up. If you can’t log in, use the web Seller Central help or app “Contact Support.” (Amazon Seller Central)
-
Scanner not reading: Check camera permission or clean the lens. If barcode still fails, try manual ASIN/ISBN search. (repricer.com)
-
Slow loading: Close and reopen the app, check your internet, or update the app from the store. If the problem continues, reinstall the app. (Google Play)
Final thoughts — is the app worth it?
Yes, if you need to run parts of your Amazon business on the move. The app does not replace a full desktop Seller Central for advanced reports or heavy listing edits, but it is excellent for daily checks, orders, quick listings, and scanning. For many sellers, it becomes the go-to “first check” each morning.
