04 — FAQ

Amazon + ShipStation questions.

ShipStation already has an Amazon connection. Why build?

The standard connection covers basic order import. We build when you need custom routing, Vendor Direct Fulfillment, multiple Amazon accounts, or links to your ERP and WMS in the same flow.

Do you use official Amazon APIs?

Yes. We build on the Selling Partner API and Vendor APIs (or EDI for Vendor Central where that is the agreed channel), using authorised access through Login with Amazon. We don't scrape Seller Central or Vendor Central.

Can this work for both Seller Central and Vendor Central?

Yes. Seller (3P) and Vendor (1P) accounts use different Amazon APIs, so we design each flow for the account types you actually run. Many clients run both.

How long does an integration take?

It depends on the number of flows, data volume and how much custom mapping your setup needs. After a short discovery call we give you a fixed scope and timeline.

Who hosts and maintains it?

Your choice. We can host it on AWS for you with monitoring and alerts, or deploy it into your own cloud account. Either way we offer ongoing maintenance as Amazon and the other system change their APIs.
