Objective: To guide sellers in understanding the costs and performance of their Lightning Deals on Amazon. To enable sellers to assess the financial impact and effectiveness of their Lightning Deals, helping them make informed decisions and optimize their promotional strategies on Amazon.
Each successfully run Lightning Deal will incur a charge. The Deal Fee will not be affected by changes to variations, quantity, or price. However, it will vary depending on the country and week in which the Deal is run. Weeks with higher fees coincide with higher customer traffic on Amazon, such as holidays or Black Friday. If your Deal is scheduled during a high-traffic period, the fee will be higher and visible on the Lightning Deal page and Deals page. You will be charged after the scheduled date and time of the Lightning Deal.
