In December 2021, we launched the first phase of the Amazon Appstore Small Business Accelerator Program, which introduced increased revenue share for eligible developers. Today, we’re excited to announce the second phase of the program. As of November 18th, developers with revenue less than 1 million USD in the previous calendar year are now eligible to receive AWS promotional credits equivalent to 10 percent of revenue.

To receive AWS credits, developers need to enter their AWS Account ID in the Developer Console. Developers not using AWS can sign up for free and unlock the benefits of building on the cloud.
