How to Receive Payments From Amazon As Sellers In Vietnam

Expanding your business to international markets through Amazon is an exciting opportunity, but receiving payments as a Vietnamese seller can be a real challenge. Amazon offers several payout methods, but not all of them are accessible from Vietnam.

This guide will walk you through the common ways Amazon disburses payments and introduce a powerful cross-border payment solution for Vietnamese sellers from LianLian Global.

I. Different Methods to Receive Payout from Amazon

Amazon’s payment system is designed to deliver earnings to sellers efficiently, but with heavy dependence on the seller’s location and the region’s banking infrastructure. Below are the main methods Amazon uses to disburse funds, along with their requirements and availability.

1. ‍ Direct Deposit (ACH)

The Automated Clearing House (ACH) system is one of Amazon’s most preferred and widely used payout methods. Once linked to your Amazon Seller Account, your local bank account will automatically receive disbursements on a regular cycle - typically every 14 days.

Advantages:

• Seamless and automatic
• No manual intervention needed

Requirements:

• Have a valid Amazon Seller Account
• Have a local bank account in a country that Amazon supports for direct deposit

Limitation for Vietnamese Sellers: Vietnamese banks are not supported in Amazon’s ACH system. That means sellers based in Vietnam cannot directly link their local VND bank accounts to Amazon.

2. ‍ Amazon Currency Converter for Sellers (ACCS)

The ACCS is a solution offered by Amazon for sellers who want to get paid in their local currency, even if they sell in a different marketplace (e.g., selling on Amazon US but living in Europe or Southeast Asia).

How it works:

• Amazon converts your sales revenue from USD (or other currencies) into your local currency
• The converted amount is deposited into your domestic bank account

Requirements:

• Have an active Amazon Seller Account
• Have a bank account in a country and currency supported by Amazon for disbursement

Limitation for Vietnamese Sellers: Unfortunately, Vietnam and the Vietnamese Dong (VND) are not part of Amazon’s supported currency list. That means ACCS is not available for sellers with Vietnamese bank accounts.

3. ‍ Express Payout

Express Payout is Amazon’s solution for sellers who operate with thin cash flow margins and want faster access to their funds. Instead of waiting the standard 3-5 business days, eligible sellers can get their payouts within 24 hours.

Requirements:

• Have a U.S.-based Amazon Seller Account
• Have a U.S. bank account that participates in Amazon’s payment network
• Seller must reside in one of the 50 U.S. states
• The seller’s transaction volume must be under $1 million at the time of payout

Limitation for Vietnamese Sellers: This service is exclusive to U.S.-based sellers. It’s not available to sellers residing in Vietnam or even in U.S. territories.

4. ‍ Amazon Gift Card

For specific Amazon programs like:

• Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) - authors can choose to receive royalties via Amazon gift cards
• Amazon Associates (Affiliates) - commissions can be issued via gift cards

Limitations:

• Not available for general Amazon sellers
• Cannot be used to withdraw actual earnings from product sales
• Limited to use within Amazon's ecosystem (no cash value)

II. Receive Payout From Amazon with LianLian Global’s Receiving Account as Vietnamese Sellers

Once your LianLian Receiving Account is set up, you can link it directly to your Amazon Seller Central account just like you would with a local U.S. or EU bank account.
