With an agency, you pay the retainer, the ads, the Amazon fees, and the stock, and you carry the risk if it doesn’t work. In the Amazon Growth Partnership, Pax buys your products at wholesale, funds the ads and fees, and only makes money when your product sells.
Owners report retainers from about $1,000 a month at small agencies. Published prices start at $2,000 a month, and full programs at bigger agencies start near $10,000. Some also take 4% to 6% of the sales their ads bring in. You pay the fee whether sales grow or not. On top of it, you still carry the costs of selling:
Ask how each fee works before you sign.
We buy at wholesale, pay you up front, and become your one seller on Amazon. You get a purchase order, not a monthly bill.
That payout, minus the wholesale price we paid you, covers our ads, our work, and our profit.
We fund and run the ads with our own money. If a campaign fails, we take the loss, not you.
Every number below is an example that shows how the math works. None is a Pax quote or a Pax term. Change them to match your brand.
Both routes use the same sales, so the comparison is fair. It assumes no growth and leaves out your team’s hours.
You sell to us at wholesale, not to shoppers at retail. You also stop paying Amazon fees and ad costs on those units.
We need exclusive rights on Amazon for the products we take on. Without that, no one can plan stock or make the ads pay.
Your pricing rules, including MAP, are agreed in writing, and Pax follows them. Exit terms, including the stock Pax holds and the content we create, are agreed before onboarding.

|---|---|---|
| Monthly retainer | You pay it, whether sales grow or not | None |
| Ad spend | You fund every click | Pax funds it |
| Amazon fees | You pay them | Pax pays them |
| Inventory risk | You buy, ship and hold the stock | Pax buys at wholesale. You are paid up front |

| Execution | The agency, with your team | Pax runs listings, ads, pricing, and reseller removal |
Traditional agencies can be a good fit for brands that want to retain inventory and fund execution. Pax is for brands that want Amazon growth with materially less financial risk.
CanCor makes the Crinkle Ball cat toy. Before Pax, it ran no ads on Amazon, and 14 unauthorized sellers were on its listings. Pax bought the full product line and paid for the ads.
Owners report retainers from about $1,000 a month at small agencies. Published prices we found in October 2026 start at $2,000 a month, and full programs at bigger agencies start near $10,000 a month. Some also take 4% to 6% of the sales their ads bring in. You still pay for the ads and buy the stock. Use the calculator on this page to see your total.
Amazon pays us when your product sells. We keep the gap between that payout and the wholesale price we paid you. That gap covers the ads, the work and our profit.
Yes. You sell at wholesale, not retail. But you stop paying Amazon fees, the ad bill, and a retainer on those units, so what you keep per unit can be close to what you keep now, or even higher. Try the calculator with your own numbers.

Ryan personally reviews every application to determine whether Pax and your brand could be a strong fit.
The partnership works best for brands doing $100K+ a year on Amazon, or $5M+ across all channels. Ryan reads every application, and he’ll reach out if there’s a way to help. In the meantime, our case studies show how the partnership works.
