These policies cover the most common risks of selling on Amazon.
A business owner's policy, or BOP, is a cost-effective way for Amazon sellers to buy general liability insurance and commercial property insurance together.
This policy covers common third-party lawsuits, such as slip-and-fall accidents. It usually includes product liability insurance for financial protection against harm caused by your products.
Most states require workers' comp for Amazon retailers that have employees. It also protects sole proprietors from work injury costs that health insurance might deny.
This policy helps Amazon sellers survive data breaches and cyberattacks. It's recommended for any shop that handles credit card numbers or other sensitive information.
Umbrella insurance boosts coverage on an Amazon seller's general liability, employer’s liability, or commercial auto insurance policy once the limit is reached on a claim.
Commercial auto liability insurance is usually required for business-owned vehicles. This policy covers accidents involving an Amazon seller's delivery van or other vehicle.
Amazon sellers who work alone will pay less for insurance than an e-commerce store with a dozen employees.
Factors that affect the cost of insurance include:
Amazon requires business insurance for Amazon Pro Merchants and sellers with gross proceeds of over $10,000 during any month from sales on its platform. According to the Amazon Services Business Solutions Agreement, the minimum requirements are $1 million per-occurrence and $1 million aggregate limits of commercial general liability insurance and product liability insurance.
General liability insurance often includes product liability insurance, or you can add it as an endorsement. Some sellers may need commercial umbrella insurance (or excess liability insurance) to boost their liability coverage limits.
Your policies must name Amazon and its assignees as additional insureds. Sellers may need to mail a certificate of insurance to Amazon to prove they carry this coverage.
