The Featured Offer is the offer near the top of a product detail page, which customers can buy now or add to their shopping carts.
A key feature of the Amazon website is that multiple sellers can offer the same product. If more than one eligible seller offers a product, they may compete to become the Featured Offer for that product (as long as it can be shipped to the customer's address).
A seller's eligibility to win the Buy Box is tied to specific seller performance criteria that identify the sellers who have consistently provided customers with a great buying experience on the Amazon.in site.
The Featured Offer percentage is calculated as the total page views in which you are the Featured Offer divided by the total page views received by products you list. Only active items are considered. You will see ‘—‘ if we are unable to calculate your Featured Offer percentage.
When you place your products in the Amazon catalogue, anyone browsing Amazon can find and buy them. When customers find what they want, they can put the product into their shopping cart (and ultimately purchase the product) using one of three methods:
The Buy Box winner for a product is selected from the pool of eligible sellers offering that product based on, among other things, price and availability. Amazon will present the winning seller's offering as the first choice for buyers using the "Add to Shopping Cart" box on product detail pages. For many sellers, this placement may lead to increased product sales.
After the Buy Box winner is selected, up to three further qualifying sellers are displayed in the More Buying Choices box on the product detail page. The remaining seller offers are available to customers who click the "new" link at the bottom of the More Buying Choices box to go to the offer listing page.
Since seller performance requirements can vary by category and are subject to change, we do not disclose specific targets needed to become an eligible seller; however, becoming an eligible seller requires meeting very high standards, and excelling in the qualifying criteria is the best way to work toward achieving this status. If you are an eligible seller, you can increase your chances of winning the Buy Box by following these guidelines:
Pricing
Availability
Fulfilment
Offer multiple shipping options on your products, including free shipping. You can manage your available shipping options in Shipping Settings.
Customer Experience
The Customer Metrics page in your seller account can help you track your performance. For more information about performance standards, see Seller Performance Measurement.
