If you don’t have a website on the domain that you verified as the intended sender, you are less likely to get approved by AWS. When you verify a domain name that’s only parked and not hosting a website, it raises a red flag during your approval request to move out of the AWS Sandbox.
However, if you don’t have a website, you should clearly explain where and how you collect your email addresses and what type of content or offers you plan to send to your subscribers. For instance, you can mention if you have an online store on an e-commerce platform like Shopify, Etsy, Facebook, or Amazon.
Providing this context helps AWS understand your email-sending purpose, increasing your chances of approval for production access.
