What it means

VIR (Volume Incentive Rates) are discounts or commission reductions vendors receive for selling higher volumes. VIRs create incentives for vendors to move more volume with Amazon. A good VIR structure balances vendor profitability with Amazon's volume goals. Vendors should use VIR opportunities for margin optimization.
