Many sellers lacked access to advanced listing features that could help improve conversions. With Amazon Premium A+ Content free for all sellers, that barrier has largely disappeared.
Amazon is expanding access to one of its most powerful listing enhancement tools. The move could have significant implications for brands looking to improve conversion rates and maximize the value of their traffic.
With Premium A+ Content proven to increase sales by up to 20%, many sellers have been eager to gain access to its advanced features. Now that Amazon Premium A+ Content is free for all sellers, brands of all sizes can begin using premium modules to create more engaging product pages.
Amazon Premium A+ Content Default Rollout and Key Platform Changes
Amazon Premium A+ Content is now enabled by default for all Brand Registered sellers, removing the previous $5M sales requirement and invite-only access. This means Amazon Premium A+ Content is now available to a wider seller base inside Seller Central without additional approval steps.
The change was first reported on May 18, 2026, and confirmed through Seller Central notifications observed on May 21, 2026. At the same time, Amazon introduced a new Quality Score system that evaluates A+ modules based on completeness, image quality, and module mix.
For sellers using Amazon A+ Content, this update expands access to Premium modules such as video carousels, hotspot images, comparison charts, and full-width banners. The shift also aligns with Amazon’s push toward more structured listing evaluation, where content quality is now being formally measured inside the platform.
Brand Registered sellers now face a shorter timeline to implement upgrades ahead of major retail periods, including the June 2026 Prime Day window. With Amazon Premium A+ Content available by default, sellers are encouraged to review existing listings, prioritize high-traffic ASINs, and adjust creative assets to meet the new Quality Score standards.

Amazon Opens Premium A+ Access to Brand-Registered Sellers
GB Media reports that Amazon has announced that Amazon Premium A+ Content is now available to Brand Registered sellers through Seller Central. The update removes previous restrictions, including minimum spend requirements, approval waitlists, and invite-only access.
The announcement marks a significant change for brands that previously had limited access to Premium A+ Content despite completing other content requirements. Sellers enrolled in Amazon Brand Registry can now access the feature without going through the qualification process that existed before.
The enhanced content format includes advanced modules designed to create more engaging product detail pages. Available features include:
- Hotspot images
- Video carousels
- Enhanced comparison charts
- Full-width hero images
- Expanded text modules
According to the announcement, 80% of brands that activate the feature see a measurable sales lift, while 60% report conversion rate increases ranging from 20% to 1,000% within 30 days. The update is expected to draw attention from brands and every Amazon agency focused on improving listing performance and conversion rates.
Amazon Simplifies Access to Premium A+ Content Features
The rollout of Amazon Premium A+ Content removes a major hurdle that previously prevented many brands from accessing advanced listing features. According to EcomRanker, sellers no longer need to complete multiple content submissions or wait through lengthy approval periods before upgrading their product pages.
For sellers already using Amazon A+ Content, the update creates a faster path to richer and more immersive shopping experiences. Features such as larger images, videos, interactive modules, and enhanced comparison charts can help brands present products more effectively to potential customers.
