Large organizations often operate multiple Amazon Business accounts on the same company email domain, whether due to separate business units, regional operations, or growth through mergers and acquisitions. Previously, only one account per domain in each region could verify the domain and access Account Authority.
That restriction is gone. Multiple Amazon Business accounts on the same domain can now each verify the domain. The first account to verify becomes the primary owner, retaining control over domain-wide policies like new business creation and new signup awareness. Additional verified accounts can manage automatic user creation and account consolidation for their own account, so they can onboard their own users without the primary owner giving up control of the domain.
Domain verification works the same way whether or not another account has already verified the domain. Administrators can add a DNS TXT record, or their Amazon Business account representative can send a domain ownership agreement for e-signature.
How it works:
The first account to verify is designated the primary owner by default.
Other verified accounts see domain-wide policies as locked and can manage automatic user creation and account consolidation for their own account.
Each account manages only its own users and can't see or manage another account's users or data.
To transfer primary ownership to another verified account, contact Amazon Business Customer Service.
Multiple accounts can verify the same domain in all Amazon Business marketplaces. This update is available to administrators of the top-level business account with domain verification permissions. In the US and Canada, administrators can manage these policies on the Account authority page in Business Settings. In other marketplaces, administrators can contact their Amazon Business account representative to make policy changes until the page is available.
