Businesses pay Amazon referral fees to for facilitating sales on the online marketplace. With a 50 per cent waiver on referral fees, Amazon aims to incentivise new sellers to leverage e-commerce.

“We believe that with the right support, small businesses can grow,” said Amit Nanda, Director, Selling Partner Services, Amazon India. “This waiver is in line with our commitment to digitize 10 million Indian small businesses by 2025 by making it more cost-effective to start their online journey.”
