What is A+ Content (and Premium A+) in 2026?
A+ Content is the enhanced image-and-text section on a product page, available to Brand Registry sellers. In 2026, Premium A+ is broadly available in Seller Central and unlocks interactive hotspot modules, video, and enhanced comparison tables — tools that push Premium A+ conversion lift to roughly 15–20% versus 5–10% for Basic.
Amazon A+ Content best practices
Lead with your strongest benefit, prove claims with imagery, and answer the objections that stop a purchase. Use a comparison module to cross-sell your own catalog and position against alternatives without naming them.
| Module | Use it for | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Hero / banner | Lead benefit + brand feel | Make the value clear in the first screen |
| Comparison table | Cross-sell & positioning | Guide shoppers to the right SKU |
| Interactive hotspots (Premium) | Explain features in context | Set expectations to reduce returns |
| Video (Premium) | Demonstrate use & build trust | Reuse the clip for Sponsored Brands Video |
Design mobile-first
More than 60% of Amazon shopping happens on a phone, so design for mobile first: clear hierarchy, short sections, large legible text, and your most important argument early. Preview every module on mobile before publishing — desktop-perfect layouts often break on a small screen.
Brand Story vs. A+ Content
They're complementary. Brand Story is a separate carousel that sits above A+ and is reused across every ASIN to carry brand identity and cross-sell. A+ Content is per-product and carries the specific evidence that converts that listing. Use both: Brand Story for identity, A+ for proof.
Stay compliant (and get approved)
The two most common rejection causes are image-spec violations and prohibited content. Keep A+ free of price, promotions, shipping-speed claims, warranty language, and competitor names.
Price or discounts, shipping speed, warranty or guarantee language, competitor brand names, and unverified claims. Keep it about the product's benefits and proof — and meet Amazon's image specs on every module.
Write A+ the AI assistant can read
Amazon's AI shopping assistant reads your detail page, including A+, to decide what to recommend. Write clear, factual, structured copy — concrete use cases, materials, and specs — so the assistant can match your product to a shopper's question. See our AI shopping assistant guide.
