This year, supporting small businesses is more important than ever, and we are designing Prime Day to support them with our biggest small business promotion ever.

To further our commitment to helping small businesses during COVID-19 and beyond, this Prime Day, and throughout the holiday season, we will spend more than $100 million on new promotional activities to help small businesses around the world increase their sales and reach new customers.

Support small businesses on Prime Day


Selling in Amazon’s stores has enabled hundreds of thousands of smaller companies to sustain and even grow their sales despite the COVID-19 crisis. Selling in our store helps small businesses reach hundreds of millions of customers and grow their businesses, while helping us provide customers with even greater selection and convenience. That’s why third-party sellers—mostly small and medium-sized businesses—now make up approximately 60% of physical product sales in our store, have created an estimated 2.2 million jobs, and are growing sales faster than our own retail sales.

Our partnership with small businesses is a win-win—and this year we’re turning Prime Day into an event to celebrate small businesses and help them keep growing. We’re introducing a few new features to make it easier for customers to shop for items from small businesses on Prime Day, and a great promotion to help them save money when they support select small businesses.

Here are some of the ways we’re helping customers support small business owners on Amazon this Prime Day

  • Curated collections: Visit amazon.com/supportsmall to find curated lists of small businesses to support leading up to and during Prime Day.
  • Get $10 when you spend $10: Today through October 12, Prime members in the U.S. will get a $10 credit to spend on Amazon on Prime Day when they spend $10 on items sold by select small businesses. We’re funding this promotion to connect customers with small businesses selling in our stores.
  • Shop on Amazon Live: We’ll be spotlighting exciting deals from small businesses on Amazon Live throughout Prime Day. Tune in for deals and to hear directly from business owners about their products and stories.
  • Prime Day deals: This year, Prime members around the globe can shop hundreds of thousands of Prime Day deals from small and medium-sized businesses.
