Subscribe & Save allows Amazon customers to sign up for regular deliveries of products they use frequently. Subscribers receive up to 15% off their Subscribe & Save orders, as well as free shipping. As an FBA seller, you can apply to include your eligible FBA offers in Amazon's Subscribe & Save program.
When a customer chooses to subscribe to a product delivery, they choose the product, how many they want delivered, and how often. They receive a 5% discount per subscription until they have five subscriptions delivered each month, after which they will receive a 15% discount on their entire order.
For more information about the customer program, see Subscribe and Save.
The discount is applied to the selling price that you set for the products you offer as subscriptions, and is deducted from your revenue. Amazon FBA then picks, packs, and ships your Subscribe & Save order.

*For customers to receive the discount they can subscribe to any offer available in the program and are not just limited to your available inventory.
Case Example 1: Customer subscribes to 3 of your products and 2 products from other sellers/Amazon they will reach the 15% discount providing they arrive on the same delivery day in the same month
Case example 2: If a customer subscribes to one of your offers selecting a quantity of 5 this only counts as 1 Subscription.
There are two types of Subscribe & Save orders: sign-up orders and replenishment orders.
You can view your Subscribe & Save orders in the Transaction View of the Paymentsreport page.
Products must be offered through FBA, and you must maintain an in-stock percentage of at least 85%. To check your in-stock percentage, see your Inventory In Stock page in Seller Central.
For eligible offers, the Subscribe & Save discount is applied to your price for the product on the day the order is placed. The discount amount is up to 15%, depending on the total number of products the buyer has subscribed to and the product category of the offer. The discount applies to the selling price that you set for the products you offer as subscriptions and is deducted from your revenue. FBA picks, packs, and ships your Subscribe & Save order.
Any coupons or promotions you offer also apply to your Subscribe & Save products. For example, if you run a promotion offering a 20% discount on a product that is also available through Subscribe & Save, that discount will be added to existing subscriptions and will result in a total discount greater than 20% for subscriptions.
In tandem with normal seller performance checks on your account, we monitor the following for SnS performance in order to protect the customer experience:
If your performance on FBA Subscribe & Save falls below expectations in relation to the points above, we will send performance notification emails (please ensure your notification preferences in Seller Central are updated). Failure to resolve these issues can lead to (1) suspension of new subscriptions (the SnS buybox will disappear automatically on the detail page), (2) Cancellations of existing subscriptions, or (3) removal from the program.
