As an Amazon FBA seller, your Inventory Performance Index (IPI) score can determine how efficiently you run your business—and how much profit you make.
🧠 What Is the IPI Score?
The IPI score measures how well you manage inventory in Amazon’s FBA network. It affects how much storage you get, what fees you pay, and whether your inventory stays active and visible.
🔍 Why the IPI Score Is So Important
1. FBA Storage Limits
Amazon allocates storage space based on your IPI score. A low score can mean restricted warehouse space, which limits your ability to restock or launch new products.
2. Increased Storage Fees
If you hold excess or aged inventory and your IPI is low, you may be charged higher storage fees and face long-term storage penalties.
3. Growth & Account Health
A strong IPI score keeps your Amazon account flexible and healthy. You’ll have fewer restrictions, better logistics flow, and fewer interruptions to your business.
📊 What Impacts Your IPI Score?
- Sell-through rate – How fast your products are selling
- Excess inventory – Avoid stocking more than you need
- In-stock rate – Keep your best-sellers available
- Stranded inventory – Resolve inactive or unfulfillable listings quickly
✅ Tips to Improve Your IPI:
- Remove or liquidate slow-moving inventory
- Monitor ASIN-level performance weekly
- Improve forecasting to prevent overstock or stockouts
- Fix stranded or suppressed listings promptly
