Introduction
In the dynamic world of e-commerce, adaptability is the key to survival—and success. Amazon Vendor Central, once a reliable channel for wholesale transactions with Amazon, has undergone significant changes in recent years. As we step into 2025, it’s no longer just about getting into Vendor Central—it’s about understanding whether it’s still the right fit for your brand.
In this article, we’ll explore the current landscape of Amazon Vendor Central, the new challenges and opportunities, and how e-commerzz, a trusted e-commerce solutions provider, can be your partner in navigating and scaling within Amazon’s evolving ecosystem.
What Is Amazon Vendor Central (And How It Works in 2025)
Amazon Vendor Central is a first-party (1P) platform where businesses sell their products directly to Amazon. Amazon then resells those products to customers. Unlike Seller Central, which gives sellers full control over pricing, fulfillment, and customer interactions, Vendor Central is more restricted—but can be powerful for enterprise-level sellers.
However, in 2025, Amazon has tightened the reins. Now, the platform is primarily reserved for large-scale suppliers and household-name brands generating over $5–10 million annually in wholesale transactions. Smaller vendors are being encouraged—or in some cases, required—to shift to Seller Central.
What’s Changed in 2025?
Amazon has clearly prioritized profitability and marketplace fluidity. Here are the most noticeable changes in Vendor Central this year:
✅ Stricter Vendor Requirements
Only vendors with significant annual revenue or exclusive supply chain value are being retained on Vendor Central. Others are gradually phased out.
✅ Hybrid Selling Is the New Normal
Many brands are operating in both Vendor and Seller Central models—using Seller Central to maintain pricing control, branding, and flexibility, while leveraging Vendor Central for bulk sales and retail reach.
✅ Automation Over Negotiation
With advanced AI systems in place, Amazon now automates many of its decisions—including product pricing and purchase order frequency—leaving vendors with less room to negotiate terms.
✅ Brand Control Is Critical
Without the ability to directly interact with end-customers, brands on Vendor Central must rely heavily on enhanced brand content, advertising, and high-quality listings to stand out.
Is Vendor Central Still Worth It in 2025?
The answer depends on your brand’s size, structure, and goals:
- YES, if you’re an enterprise-level vendor with consistent wholesale performance and operational infrastructure to manage bulk PO fulfillment.
- NO, if you’re a small to mid-size business looking for more control, better profit margins, and direct-to-customer engagement.
The good news? Brands now have more tools and support to transition to Seller Central—or build a hybrid strategy—and that’s where E-Commerzz makes the difference.
