How does Amazon define Sales Velocity
Amazon defines sales velocity as the number and dollar amount of a seller’s transactions during any given month. Amazon ranking is also highly dependent on sales produced; more sales lead to higher ranks.
Amazon’s A9 algorithm gives a lot of weightage to sales velocity, as it is immensely propitious for Amazon. The algorithm, therefore, analyzes sales results as one of the significant KPI and gives higher ranks to products that sell more. When the sales velocity lead by high conversion rates is high, it shoots up your sales and brings in positive reviews, thereby catalyzing your organic ranks and sales.
Setting your pricing strategy right is integral to have a better conversion rate and sales performance. DataHawk Organic Keyword Rank Tracker gives you information on all the important KPIs around a KEYWORD, one of them being pricing. This allows you to monitor your competitive landscape continually and adapt suitable pricing strategies to ensure a better trajectory for your Amazon business. You can thus set prices that are in accordance with your changing competitive landscape and henceforth ensure profits.
What are Amazon’s Sales Velocity Limits
Only Amazon has the ability to deny or grant an increase in velocity limits for sellers wherein requesting an increase is not possible.
This is done to ensure consumers’ protection against orders that cannot be fulfilled.
Amazon sales could be highly influenced and impacted by a number of factors, including what your product is and how you are selling it(promotions, Amazon product reviews, and advertising). For an ideal sales velocity on Amazon, there should be a constant ability to adapt, which comes from solid analysis and regular monitoring.

In this example, we found that on April 9, 2020, the product was ranking on position 6 on page 1 for the keyword “mattress.”
We found that the rank changed from 6 to 11 to 44 to 50 and became 10 on April 15, 2020. This clearly explains a change in the sales made. On April 10, there was a probable drop in sales that led to a drop in the ranking of the product. However, we see a significant upswing in the ranking after 4 days.
Sales velocity being one the most important factor to A9 algorithm drives its decision to give higher ranks for higher sales.
