What is Amazon Lending in Canada, and what else can sellers use?

Short answer: Amazon Lending in Canada is an invite-only financing program for Amazon sellers, offered through third-party providers and repaid as a percentage of future disbursements, according to Amazon's own page. Sellers who also sell on their own website or other marketplaces can compare it with a deposit-based advance that reads revenue from every channel.

Key facts

Invite-only, for sellers already on Amazon.ca
Amazon lists availability in Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec, Alberta and Manitoba
Repayment comes from future Amazon disbursements

What that design means in practice

Marketplace programs use disbursement data to make offers, which is convenient for sellers who sell mostly on that marketplace. Sellers with their own websites or other marketplaces may find that a bank-deposit review sees more of their business.

A worked illustration

A seller earning most of its revenue on Amazon.ca might compare an invitation with other options. A brand selling equally through its own site, Amazon and wholesale would find a deposit-based review reads all three channels together.

Questions worth asking

What is the fixed fee on my offer and what percentage of disbursements would be taken?
How long would repayment take at my current sales?
Does the provider restrict other financing?
What documents might still be requested?

Comparing it with other offers

Marketplace financing can suit sellers whose business is mostly on that marketplace, especially for inventory ahead of busy periods. Sellers with a growing own-brand store or wholesale accounts should compare offers on the full business, because repayment tied only to marketplace disbursements can take longer if sales shift to other channels.

Sellers outside the listed provinces, or whose invitation is smaller than their inventory need, can compare a review of their full business deposits, which reads every channel at once.
