How does Amazon handle holidays during the Chinese New Year? How do you handle holidays during the holidays?

Basically, whether or not the e-commerce platform will give a holiday is up to the merchants themselves. If the merchant wants to take a holiday during the Chinese New Year, they must set up the holiday settings for the store in advance. This article will talk about how Amazon takes a holiday during the Chinese New Year.

How to deal with Amazon holidays?

1. Stop selling the entire store

If your Amazon store is not managed during the Spring Festival, you can set the store to Amazon vacation, that is, set it to holiday mode. However, one thing to note is that the holiday mode only applies to self-delivered products, and FBA-delivered products can be sold normally in holiday mode. If your store is in a state of overall suspension during the holiday period, taking the North American site as an example, you can set it as follows:

1) In the Listings Status column of Amazon Seller Central, find and click Going On a vacation;

2) After adjusting the On Sale button of each site to Off Sale, click the Save button.

3) Amazon vacation is successfully set. At this time, all the self-delivered listings in the store will be in an unsaleable state (not deleted). After the vacation is over, come back here to set the suspension adjustment to the saleable state and click Save.

2. Some products are no longer available for sale

In the case where only some of the self-fulfilled goods listings are out of stock, if you do not want to set the store to holiday mode, the seller can go to the inventory management in the seller backend, select the listing you want to stop selling, click Edit, and find the option to stop selling the product to set it.

3. Pre-sale settings

Sellers can set the product listing to pre-sale status according to their own situation and ship it after the 7-day holiday. However, in order to avoid complaints from buyers, sellers must estimate the arrival date of pre-sale products so that they can ship on time.

Generally speaking, Amazon can be set to holiday mode during the Chinese New Year holiday. If you don't want to set your store to holiday mode, you can stop selling some products or set it to pre-sale mode.
