ASIN stands for Amazon Standard Identification Number, an e-commerce & retail abbreviation also used in entertainment.
Ten-character alphanumeric code Amazon assigns to each product in its catalog, used to identify listings, variations and advertising targets. For books, the ASIN is usually the same as the ISBN-10.
Example: Paste the ASIN into the search bar to find the exact listing.
Usage notes
Non-book ASINs typically begin with "B0." One ASIN is shared by every seller offering the identical product, which is why sellers compete for the Buy Box on a single listing. ASINs are specific to each Amazon marketplace.
