Make your products eligible for Deals

A Lightning Deal is a time-bound, promotional offer where an item is featured for a limited number of hours, usually 4 to 12 hours (varies per marketplace), on the Amazon Deals page. Featuring an item as a Lightning Deal may help increase sales and it may also be an effective way to reduce your inventory.

A 7-Day Deal is a time-bound, promotional offer where an item is featured for a limited number of days on the Amazon Deals page. Featuring an item as a 7-Day Deal may help increase sales and reduce your inventory

How can I become eligible?

Currently, only Professional Sellers are eligible to run deals. Here's how you can upgrade.

Which products are eligible for deals?

Eligible products are automatically displayed in the Eligible ASINs section of the Deals Dashboard when they meet the following criteria (subject to change based on country and time of year):

Quality: Products must have a sales history in Amazon stores and at least a 3-star rating.
Product variations: Deals should include as many product variations as possible (for example, size, color, and style). For some products, such as clothing and shoes, at least 60% of variations should be included in the deal. The pre-determined minimum percentage of product variations is specified when you create the deal.
Category: Restricted products and products that are offensive, embarrassing or otherwise inappropriate are not eligible. Examples of ineligible items include e-cigarettes, alcohol, adult products, medical devices, medicines and baby formula.
Condition: Only items in New Condition are eligible for deals.

Note: Because of other internal criteria, it is possible that certain may not receive a recommendation although they meet the criteria listed above.

You can choose to Create a Deal from the list of eligible ASINs in the Select Products tab of the Deals Dashboard. Eligible ASINs are refreshed every week, so an eligible ASIN you see this week may not necessarily be there next week.
