How to Switch From Amazon Business to Personal?

Amazon Business is Amazon’s solution for businesses to make wholesale/bulk purchases which is not possible with an Amazon personal account. When you have an Amazon Business account you ideally must have logged in to your account on your computer.

Now, what if you want to order something that is for personal use, for instance, a bottle of shampoo, you probably want to use your Amazon Personal account now.

In this article, I will guide you on how you can switch from Amazon Business to personal and cover some pertaining topics like closing your Amazon business account, etc.

Steps to Switch From Amazon Business to Personal

Earlier, Amazon Business customers had to sign in to their business account only after logging out of their Amazon personal account.

However, customers no longer need to log out to switch between these accounts. To Switch from Amazon Business to Personal follow the below-mentioned steps:

Step 1: Once you login to your Amazon business account, hover your cursor around the Account button on top.

Step 2: Click on the “Switch Accounts”

Step 3: Now click on the “Second Account” which will have your Amazon Profile Name which will be your Amazon Personal account.

Step 4: Just click on it and start your shopping.

You can perform the same steps to switch from an Amazon personal to an Amazon business account, and you can easily maintain both of your profiles on Amazon.

Benefits of using an Amazon Business rather than Amazon Personal

1. You will be able to make purchases that are exempt from sales tax if you upload your reseller’s certificate and purchase items that are exempt from sales tax in your state (such as packaging supplies or items for resale, if applicable in your state).

2. You may be able to save money by purchasing certain products at a lower “business” price that is accessible only to business accounts.

3. Amazon will give you the option to “pay by invoice” and give you 30 days to pay for your purchase if you qualify. We don’t use this because we prefer to earn credit card points when we pay with our credit card, but some people like the 30-day option.

4. You can include your PO number with your Amazon order if you have a business account – many businesses use purchase orders to keep track of purchases.

5. You will have access to a business account with multiple users, access to payment solutions, workflow approval, dedicated customer care support, business-oriented procuring analytics, free two-day shipping on millions of appropriate items, and a host of other benefits if you have an Amazon Business Account.
