What is CPS?

    In the context of Amazon Business, CPS accounts are high-value organizations that include:

    • Commercial accounts - private sector companies (e.g., corporations, retailers)
    • Public accounts - government agencies, schools, and public institutions
    • Strategic accounts - large enterprises or key clients with complex purchasing needs

    These accounts often receive dedicated support, tailored procurement solutions, and specialized pricing models. They may also benefit from:

    • Integration with procurement platforms (like Coupa, SAP Ariba)
    • Volume pricing and negotiated discounts
    • Tax exemption programs
    • Consolidated invoicing and reporting
    • Personalized Amazon Business account management

    Why it matters:

    For sellers and vendors, CPS customers represent high-LTV (lifetime value) clients who typically place larger, more frequent orders — making them attractive targets for B2B-focused strategies.

    💡 Example:
    A university ordering 200 office chairs and 100 projectors through Amazon Business might be classified under Public CPS.

    In short:
    CPS = Amazon’s classification for large institutional buyers across commercial, public, and strategic sectors within Amazon Business.
