How do I sign up (I use my college.edu email address for an Amazon account and have used that account for personal purchases)?

  • Once you receive the email invitation from Amazon to join the business account, click the “Accept this invitation” button in the email.
  • Then click the “Continue” button.
  • You will see the screen: “Sign in to the account you will use for business.”
  • Enter your college.edu email address and Amazon password for this account (if you don’t remember the password, click “Forgot your password?” to reset the password).
  • Click on “Sign In”.
  • On the next screen “Choose an account option”, click on “Create a separate account” to separate your personal purchases on Amazon from any business purchases. This action will create a new (personal) Amazon account under a different (personal) email address.
  • Click on “Continue”.
  • Enter the email address you want to use from now on for personal Amazon purchases.
  • Click on “Save and continue”.
  • You will be prompted to enter your name, college.edu email and to create a password for the account to buy for business on Amazon.
  • Click on “Create Account”.
  • You’ll see an “Almost Complete!” window and you can choose to copy your address book and payment methods. Be sure to only use a college shipping address and only the college’s purchasing card as a payment method for the business account.
  • Click on “Complete”.
  • Amazon will send you an email confirming the creation of the account.
