If you use Amazon regularly for work—whether it’s to manage business purchases, check on orders for different teams, or even handle accounts for multiple clients—you’ve probably faced one annoying challenge: switching between accounts.
Luckily, there are a couple of ways to make this easier. Amazon’s built-in “Switch Accounts” feature lets you add multiple accounts and jump between them without signing out. But while this can save time, it’s not always the most practical or secure option—especially on shared devices or if you need to work with more than one account at the same time.
In this post, we’ll show you how to switch Amazon accounts on your laptop quickly and efficiently, depending on how you work and how many accounts you manage.

Can you have multiple Amazon accounts?
Before diving into how to switch Amazon accounts on your laptop, it’s important to understand what’s actually allowed—because it varies depending on the type of account you’re using:
- Amazon (regular account): You can have multiple standard Amazon accounts, as long as each one is linked to a different email address or phone number.
- Amazon Business: If you belong to a legally registered company, institution, or organization, you can create one Amazon Business account per entity. That means one account per business—not per user.
- Amazon Seller Central: By default, Amazon only allows one Seller Central account per region. You can request to open a second account if you have a legitimate business need—like managing separate brands—but all of your existing accounts must be in good standing to be approved.
Now that you know how many accounts you’re allowed to have for each type of Amazon service, let’s look at how to switch Amazon accounts on your laptop—quickly, easily, and depending on the kind of work you do.
The built-in option: How Amazon’s “Switch Accounts” works
Whether you’re switching between personal profiles, jumping from your Amazon Business account to your personal one, or managing two separate business accounts, Amazon offers a built-in “Switch Accounts” feature that covers all these situations.
The process is almost identical in all three cases:
- Go to the Account menu in the top right corner (it may show your name or your company’s name).
- Click on Switch Accounts.
- To add a new account, select Add account, enter the login details, and follow the steps.
- Once added, just click on the account you want to switch to.
The only difference is how the menu appears depending on the type of account you’re currently using (personal or business). But the switching feature works the same way in all cases.
Important: This option is not available in Amazon Seller Central. If you manage multiple seller accounts, you’ll need to sign out and sign back in each time—or use separate browsers or profiles.
Also, while Amazon’s built-in feature is useful, it has a few limitations:
- You can only use one account at a time.
- It keeps all added accounts logged in, which can be a security risk on shared devices.
- It’s not ideal if you need to switch back and forth frequently during your workday.
If you need a more flexible and secure way to manage multiple Amazon accounts—especially if you want to keep sessions open at the same time—there’s a smarter alternative.
The smarter alternative: Use Rambox to manage multiple Amazon accounts
Rambox is a workspace organizer that lets you keep all your apps in one place while simulating a desktop app experience. With Rambox, you can access multiple Amazon accounts—including Amazon (standard and Business) and Amazon Seller Central—without having to log in and out each time.
With Rambox Basic, you can add up to two instances of the same app. If you need more, Rambox Pro offers unlimited app instances, allowing you to add as many Amazon accounts as you need—perfect if you’re managing multiple companies, teams, or clients.
This way, you get instant access to all your Amazon accounts—no need to switch profiles within the same app, which can be time-consuming and confusing. Each account runs in its own dedicated space, and all of them can stay open and active at the same time, so you can move between them seamlessly as you work.
Work smarter with Workspaces
If you manage Amazon accounts for multiple clients or business units, Rambox Pro lets you create Workspaces to keep everything organized. For example, you can create a workspace for each client, including their Amazon account, email, and communication tools—all grouped in one clean view.
No more messy tabs, browser conflicts, or wasted time. Rambox gives you a professional, secure, and flexible way to work with all your Amazon accounts—side by side.
Switching between Amazon accounts on Rambox
Managing your logins is key when you’re working with multiple accounts across different apps. With Rambox, you don’t have to log in every time you open an app or switch between accounts.
Rambox’s Session Management simplifies this by using Profiles. Each profile acts as a separate session, so you can organize different Amazon logins—whether personal, business, or Seller Central—in one place without overlap.
You can choose from five profile types depending on your needs: Primary, Inherit from Workspace, Private, Incognito, and Custom. For most Amazon setups, Private is the best choice, as it keeps each login isolated and persistent.
Once assigned, each profile keeps its session active, so you can switch between Amazon accounts instantly—without re-entering your credentials every time.
After setting up your Amazon accounts in Rambox, switching between them is simple. Each account appears as its own app in your sidebar, so you can move between them with just one click:
Why is this better than Amazon’s built-in switching
Amazon’s “Switch Accounts” feature works if you only manage one or two accounts and don’t need to use them at the same time. But for professionals, it comes with limitations:
- You can’t keep multiple accounts open in parallel.
- Seller Central is not supported.
- All added accounts stay logged in, which can be a privacy risk on shared devices.
- You may lose time switching back and forth or accidentally act from the wrong account.
How to add your Amazon accounts to Rambox
Adding your Amazon accounts to Rambox is quick and easy. Here’s how to do it:
- Click on the “+ Add an app or workspace” button in the top left corner of Rambox.
- Type “Amazon” in the search bar and select the app. This works for both standard and Business accounts. For Seller Central, select “Amazon Seller Central” instead.
- Customize your app settings to your preference. Make sure to choose the “Private” profile if you want to log in with different credentials for each account.
- Click “+ Add,” and you’re done! Your Amazon app will now appear in your sidebar, ready to use.
Repeat the process for each Amazon account you want to add, and enjoy seamless access to all of them from one place.
Now that you know how to switch Amazon accounts on your laptop the smart way, why not give Rambox a try? It’s simple to get started—just sign up, download the app, and start managing all your Amazon profiles from one place—quickly, securely, and without the usual hassle!
