What is an official representative?
An official representative has authority to access program information on behalf of the Amplife® Vendor they represent.
What is a beneficial owner?
A beneficial owner is a natural person who owns more than 25% of the shares or controls the organization, or on whose behalf a transaction or activity is being conducted.
They can also be an official representative and legal representative.
What is a legal business name?
This is the legal entity name used to register with your state or federal government. This is not the name your business will be listed as on amplife.co.
By filing registration papers, you officially designate the legal name of your business. This is also the name that appears on your tax ID or employee ID paperwork and is the name used on your tax returns.
A business can have both a legal entity name as well as a trade name—but these have important differences and registration requirements that exist for the protection of you and your customers.
A trade name is the official name under which an individual as a sole proprietor or a company chooses to do business. A trade name is commonly known as a doing business as (DBA) name and the name your business is commonly known as or the name you use when advertising or doing business. Registering a trade name legally is an important step in branding for a company, but it doesn't provide an unlimited brand name or legal protection for the use of the name.
What is the difference between listings that are Disabled-Owned, Disabled-Designed and Disabled-Solution?
As a disabled-only marketplace, all listings must be identified as:
- Disabled-Owned: Founded, owned, operated or controlled by people with disabilities.
- Disabled-Designed: Created, developed or produced by people with disabilities.
- Disabled-Solution: Solves a problem for people with disabilities.
Your Listing Type displays on the listing detail page to help customers understand how the listing serves the disabled community. It’s also used in our search and filtering options to help customers find certain listings.
Select all that apply. We understand that some listings have one type while others can be all of the above.

What is Amplife® Love?
Amplife® Love is a website operated by Amplife® that lets customers enjoy the same convenient shopping experience as on amplife.co with the added benefit that when a customer chooses a Cause with Amplife® Love (amplifelove.co), the Amplife® Foundation will donate 1.43% of the price of qualifying purchases to the customer’s chosen Cause. Vendors may contribute or choose to match the 1.43% that the Amplife® Foundation Donates. There is no cost to Causes or to Amplife® Love customers.
The Amplife® Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created by Amplife® to help and empower the disabled community. All donation amounts generated by the Amplife® Love Program are remitted to the Amplife® Foundation. In turn, the Amplife® Foundation donates those amounts to the Causes selected by our customers. Amplife® pays all expenses of the Amplife® Love Program; they are not deducted from the donation amounts generated by purchases on Amplife® Love.
For complete details, check out the Amplife® Love Participation Agreement.
Vendors that have subscriptions such as the Showcase Selling Plan or Amplife Store, and listings that do not sell on amplife.co have the 1.43% deducted from their payout. Donations are dispersed to the Cause of your choice or all Causes equally.
Participation is optional and does not affect your registration.
