Amazon offers a range of new and improved tools and programs to empower local businesses across all stages of online exports

The initiatives are designed to enhance SMEs' readiness and competitiveness throughout each stage of the selling journey on Amazon, from subscribing to sell on Amazon with the Fee Waiver
promotion, registering an account with JITA, creating brand promotions and solidifying your brand building with Brand Tailored Promotions, and optimizing logistics with upgraded SEND. Key launches include:

Subscription fee waiver: US $1 for the first 6 months’ subscription to sell on Amazon
To provide more access for selling partners interested in exploring online exports, Amazon is offering a six-month discount on the Professional Selling plan to sellers located in Korea, Malaysia, the
Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam who register to start selling on Amazon for the first time. Such sellers will pay a total of US$1* for the first six months of their subscription (US $1 for the first month and US $0 for the following five months), instead of paying the standard fee of US$39.99 per month. This promotion opens up a low-cost entry opportunity into cross-border e-commerce, helping sellers overcome financial obstacles and leave their first footprint in the international market. The promotion applies from October 4, 2023 to April 3, 2024. Please visit https://sell.amazon.vn/fee-wai... for more details.

Just In Time Assistant (JITA) tool: real-time assistance to guide sellers through registration
To support the seller account registration process, Amazon launched JITA to provide real-time assistance and guide sellers through registration.
JITA's comprehensive guidance is delivered in multiple formats including text, images, videos, and hyperlinks in many languages, including Vietnamese. The multi-format assistance ensures sellers’
accessibility to diverse preferences and needs with the right help during the registration process so that they can complete this smoothly.
JITA is expected to streamline the onboarding process while reducing reliance on conventional assistance channels like email and phone calls. This is expected to result in improved registration
rates and enhanced onboarding efficiency.
