Learn how to use the new Amazon Seller Central Dashboard in 2026. Explore the redesigned workspaces, Action Center, Seller Assistant, inventory, orders, finance, marketing, and more.
Amazon Seller Central has received a major redesign in 2026, changing the way sellers access their products, orders, inventory, finances, advertising, and account information.
Amazon describes the new experience as one of its biggest Seller Central upgrades in years. Instead of making sellers jump between many separate pages, the redesigned interface organizes important tools, metrics, and actions into dedicated workspaces. Amazon Seller Central
If you have recently logged into Seller Central and everything suddenly looks different, this guide will show you exactly where to start.
What Is the New Amazon Seller Central Dashboard?
Amazon Seller Central is the main portal sellers use to manage their Amazon businesses. Sellers can use it to manage listings and inventory, process orders, monitor sales, run promotions, access reports, and manage other everyday selling activities. Sell on Amazon
The new 2026 Seller Central experience reorganizes these functions into dedicated areas instead of relying mainly on the traditional menu structure.
Amazon has organized the new experience around seven primary workspaces:
- My Business
- Products
- Supply Chain
- Orders
- Finance
- Customers
- Marketing
Amazon says sellers’ underlying account data and listings remain unchanged—the redesign primarily changes how information and tools are organized. Amazon Seller Central
1. Start With the My Business Workspace
For most sellers, My Business should be one of the first places to check after logging in.
It provides a consolidated snapshot of important areas such as:
- Sales
- Inventory
- Orders
- Account health
- Business performance
- Tasks requiring attention
Instead of opening several different reports just to understand what is happening with your account, the workspace is designed to give you a broader business overview in one place. Amazon Seller Central
This can be particularly useful at the beginning of each working day.
For example, you can quickly check whether sales have changed, inventory needs attention, orders require action, or there are account-related issues you need to investigate.
2. Use the Products Workspace to Manage Listings
The Products workspace is where sellers can focus on their Amazon catalogue and listing performance.
Amazon’s current Manage Products dashboard is designed to let sellers view, edit, and optimize listings while also identifying issues that require attention. Amazon Seller Central
Depending on your account and marketplace, you may use this area to:
- Review existing products
- Complete draft listings
- Fix inactive listings
- Update prices
- Update inventory
- Edit product information
- Improve listing quality
- Manage listing images
- Access A+ Content tools
- Manage product videos
Amazon’s inventory management tools also allow sellers to search listings using identifiers such as SKU, product name, or ASIN, and filter products based on listing status. Amazon Seller Central
A useful routine
If you manage many ASINs, check the Products workspace regularly for suppressed, inactive, incomplete, or out-of-stock listings.
Finding these problems early can help prevent unnecessary interruptions to your catalogue.
3. Monitor Inventory Through Supply Chain
Inventory management has become increasingly important for both FBA and larger Amazon businesses.
The new Supply Chain workspace brings together information related to inventory, shipments, storage, and supply-chain operations. Amazon describes it as providing end-to-end visibility into these areas. Amazon Seller Central
Sellers can use this part of Seller Central to monitor areas such as:
Inventory → Shipments → Storage → Replenishment
The exact features available can vary according to your fulfilment method, marketplace, and account eligibility.
The goal is to help you avoid two costly situations:
Running out of stock, which can interrupt sales, and holding excessive stock, which can increase storage-related costs.
4. Manage Amazon Orders
The Orders workspace centralizes information associated with customer orders and post-order activity.
Amazon says the workspace includes information covering fulfilment, delivery insights, return rates, and post-order management. Amazon Seller Central
Sellers should use this section to keep an eye on:
- New orders
- Order fulfilment
- Shipping
- Returns
- Delivery-related issues
- Post-order activity
For FBM sellers in particular, checking orders frequently remains essential because the seller is responsible for fulfilling those orders according to Amazon’s applicable requirements.
5. Understand Your Money With the Finance Workspace
One of the notable parts of the new Seller Central experience is the consolidated Finance Workspace.
Amazon announced that the Finance Workspace brings financial management, reporting, payouts, and related operations together. Its overview can display information such as net proceeds, earnings, fees, deductions, available balances, reserves, and payout information. Amazon Seller Central
This makes it useful for understanding more than just your headline sales number.
For example, a seller may have strong gross sales but still need to analyze:
Revenue − Amazon fees − advertising − refunds − fulfilment costs − product costs = actual profitability
Seller Central’s financial data helps provide several of the inputs needed for this analysis, although sellers may still need their own accounting or profit calculations for a complete view.
6. Check Customers and Account Issues
The Customers workspace is designed to help sellers monitor areas such as policy alerts and compliance signals. Amazon Seller Central
These should not be ignored.
A good habit is to check for account-related notifications even when your sales appear normal.
Pay particular attention to information concerning:
- Policy issues
- Product compliance
- Customer-related problems
- Listing violations
- Important Amazon notifications
Addressing legitimate issues promptly can be much easier than discovering them after they begin affecting your listings or selling account.
7. Manage Advertising and Promotions From Marketing
The Marketing workspace brings together tools related to promotions, advertising campaigns, and discounts. Amazon Seller Central
Depending on your seller account and eligibility, this area may help you manage activities such as promotional campaigns and advertising.
Don’t look only at the amount being spent.
When evaluating advertising, connect the numbers to the broader performance of the product, including sales, conversion, margins, and profitability.
What Is the Action Center?
Another important addition to the redesigned experience is the Action Center.
Amazon says it surfaces important and time-sensitive tasks across the Seller Central workspaces so sellers can see what needs attention without repeatedly searching through different menus. Amazon Seller Central
Think of it as your Seller Central to-do list.
A practical workflow is:
Open Seller Central → Check Action Center → Resolve urgent tasks → Review business performance → Continue normal operations.
This may be one of the most useful areas for sellers managing large catalogues or multiple operational tasks.
Use Seller Assistant Inside Seller Central
Amazon is also integrating Seller Assistant more deeply into the Seller Central experience.
Amazon describes Seller Assistant as an AI-powered tool that can provide guidance and recommendations within Seller Central. In the redesigned experience, Amazon says Seller Assistant is available throughout the interface rather than being limited to one isolated section. Sell on Amazon
It can therefore be useful when you need help understanding where to find something or what action may be required.
You should still review important business, policy, financial, or listing decisions carefully rather than automatically accepting every recommendation.
Customize Your Seller Central Homepage
The updated homepage is also more customizable.
Amazon says sellers can rearrange components and use homepage modules containing information such as sales, orders, news, and other business information. Sell on Amazon
A useful homepage setup could prioritize:
Sales → Orders → Inventory → Account alerts → Financial information
Your ideal configuration will depend on your business model.
An FBA seller with hundreds of SKUs may prioritize inventory information, while an FBM seller may want immediate visibility into orders requiring fulfilment.
How to Switch to the New Seller Central
Amazon has also published instructions for accounts where switching between experiences is available.
According to Amazon’s Seller Central announcement, sellers can log in and look for the New Seller Central option or toggle in the dashboard header. Once selected, the preference can remain active across future sessions. Amazon has also indicated that the ability to switch back may be available from the new experience header. Amazon Seller Central
The exact interface you see may differ based on marketplace, rollout stage, account type, and feature availability.
A Simple Daily Seller Central Routine for 2026
You don’t need to open every dashboard every hour.
A more practical daily routine is:
Step 1: Check the Action Center for urgent tasks.
Step 2: Review sales and business performance in My Business.
Step 3: Check orders requiring attention.
Step 4: Review inventory and potential stock problems.
Step 5: Check account or compliance notifications.
Step 6: Review advertising performance.
Step 7: Check financial information when reconciling sales and payouts.
For businesses with many products, perform deeper listing, financial, advertising, and inventory analysis weekly rather than relying solely on headline dashboard metrics.
Why Amazon Changed Seller Central
The traditional Seller Central interface grew to contain a very large number of tools and pages.
Amazon says the redesigned experience is intended to reduce the amount of time sellers spend searching for information by grouping related tools, metrics, and actions into purpose-built workspaces. Amazon Seller Central
The result is a Seller Central experience focused more around the seller’s workflow rather than simply presenting a long collection of individual tools.
