FBA Small and Light program deprecation

[waldrogi]

The FBA Small and Light (SnL) program is being replaced by a low-price FBA fee rate card.

Effective August 29, 2023, the FBA SnL program for the United States was closed and has been replaced with Low-Price FBA rates. For more information, refer to the Low-Price FBA fees page.

Effective September 26, 2023, the FBA SnL program for European marketplaces (UK, DE, FR, IT, ES, SE, PL, and NL) will be closed and replaced by a low-price FBA fee rate card. For more information, refer to the Low-Price FBA fees page.

The FBA SnL program for the Japan marketplace will be closed in early 2024.

Starting September 26, 2023, we will introduce low-price FBA rates for all items priced £10 in the UK, €11 in Germany, €12 in France, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands, SEK 140 in Sweden, PLN 55 in Poland or less (including VAT) which means the price threshold does not change. These new rates allow every Selling Partner to take advantage of lower FBA fees, while providing the same FBA delivery speeds that customers love. All eligible items will automatically receive the new low-price rates.

Enrollment of new products in to the SnL program will end on September 14, 2023. We strongly recommend that you discontinue use of all SnL API operations.

Effective September 14, 2023:

• The getSmallAndLightEligibilityBySellerSKU operation will return NOT_ELIGIBLE for all items.
• The putSmallAndLightEnrollmentBySellerSKU operation will fail.

Effective September 26, 2023:

• The getSmallAndLightEnrollmentBySellerSKU operation will return NOT_ENROLLED for all items.
