Category Playbooks: From Amazon to Shelves

Every category has its own buyers, its own paperwork and its own reasons to say no. A supplement brand needs different certificates than a candle brand; a pet product goes through different distributors than a phone accessory. The Amazon listing that worked for all of them does not tell you any of this.

One guide per category: the buyer types that stock it, the distributors that matter, the compliance a retailer will ask for, and the parts of your Amazon track record that count in that category.
