DropStream connects to Amazon through the Selling Partner API (SP-API) to import your merchant-fulfilled orders and send shipment confirmations and inventory back to Amazon. Authorization is handled by signing in to Amazon — there are no API keys to gather. This page is the setup map for the Amazon Marketplace integration.
What you’ll need
- An Amazon Seller Central account with permission to authorize apps.
- The marketplace the store sells in (Amazon authorizes access per-marketplace, so each marketplace is a separate DropStream connection).
- A DropStream account. Fulfillment providers (3PLs) connect the store and have the merchant authorize Amazon; self-managing merchants do both.
Set up Amazon Marketplace
- Configure product SKUs — make sure the SKUs in Amazon match the SKUs in your warehouse management system.
- Gather shipping methods — map Amazon’s shipping options to your fulfillment center’s shipping codes.
- Connect your store — in DropStream, choose the marketplace and authorize Amazon (3PLs send the merchant a secure link to authorize their own account).
- Review order status — DropStream imports orders that are Unshipped or Partially Shipped with the Fulfillment Channel set to MFN (merchant-fulfilled).
Good to know
- Accepted carrier names for shipment confirmations — when DropStream sends a shipment confirmation to Amazon, the carrier name must be one of Amazon’s accepted values.
- Support for Seller Fulfilled Prime — DropStream accepts Amazon’s SFP tags and maps them to your warehouse management system.
- Inventory tracking is enabled by default — no extra steps are required to sync inventory levels back to Amazon.
