Sales floor and minimum monthly sales

How the minimum monthly sales tiers work and how to choose the right one for each catalog.

Updated Sep 18, 2026

Before you upload a file, Seller Sync asks one question: what's the minimum monthly sales an Amazon listing needs before it's worth including in your results? This is your sales floor. Choose it in the upload dialog; it is saved with the catalog when grading starts.

The tiers

You choose from a preset list:

No minimum · 50+ · 100+ · 200+ · 300+ · 400+ · 500+ · 600+ · 700+ · 800+ · 900+ · 1K+ · 2K+ · 3K+

With a tier selected, any Amazon listing that sells fewer than that many units per month is skipped during Searching Amazon. It never enters your results. With "No minimum," every listing found is kept and matched.

What "monthly sales" means

The number comes from Amazon's own "bought in past month" figure, the count shown on Amazon search results (for example, "500+ bought in past month"). It's Amazon's public signal of how fast a product actually moves.

Two details worth knowing:

  • At any tier above "No minimum," listings that don't show a sales number on Amazon are also skipped. No number means we can't confirm velocity, so the filter treats it as below the floor.
  • The floor applies per listing, not per catalog row. If a row matches several listings, each listing is judged on its own sales number.

Choosing a tier

If you want… Pick
To see everything a supplier offers, including slow movers and niche products No minimum
A light filter that removes dead listings but keeps most of the catalog 50+ to 100+
A balanced buy list of proven sellers 200+ to 500+
Only fast movers you can turn quickly 1K+ and up

A few practical guidelines:

  • First catalog from a new supplier? Start with No minimum or 50+. You'll see the full landscape and can tighten the floor on the next run.
  • Replenishment-focused buying? Higher tiers (500+ and up) keep your results short and focused on velocity.
  • Small or specialty catalogs often deserve No minimum. A great-margin product selling 40 units a month can still be a solid buy, and a high tier would hide it entirely.

Remember the trade-off: the floor reduces noise, but anything it skips is invisible in your results. If your results feel thin, a floor set too high is a common cause; see Wrong, few, or missing matches.

Changing the setting

  • The tier applies to new listings only. If you change it on an existing catalog, listings already graded and priced keep their data; the new floor takes effect for listings found from that point on.
  • The setting is per catalog, so a grocery catalog can run at No minimum while a toys catalog runs at 1K+. Each upload asks fresh.
  • The floor is saved with the catalog at upload. To grade the same supplier list with a different tier, upload it again with the new tier.

Choosing a tier does not itself use credits; grading does. See Large catalogs and grading times for what to expect next.
