What is APB?

    Amazon Private Business (APB) is a term typically used to describe non-public, confidential units or projects within Amazon that may involve:

    • Strategic business development
    • Proprietary tools or programs
    • Internal B2B or enterprise initiatives
    • Undisclosed product categories, partnerships, or experiments

    In some cases, APB may also be used internally to refer to:

    • Confidential business segments that operate under restricted access or limited visibility
    • Specialized groups working on future-facing tech or logistics infrastructure
    • Internal-only marketplace setups or Amazon-run wholesale operations for select clients or partners

    However, it’s important to note:

    • APB is not a public-facing program, like Amazon Business (AB)
    • Usage may vary across different Amazon departments or documents
    • It’s sometimes used interchangeably or confusingly with private label, stealth programs, or B2B pilots

    If you encountered APB in a document or meeting - context is key. It often refers to internal business operations that aren’t customer-facing or not yet publicly available.

    In short:

    APB = a generic internal term for confidential or private-side Amazon business operations, not to be confused with public programs.
