Set up a connection to Amazon Vendor Central

Updated

Amazon Vendor Central lets manufacturers and distributors sell products directly to Amazon as first-party suppliers. Amazon handles pricing, fulfillment, and customer service.

Note

Celigo provides the Amazon Vendor Central connector and its Amazon authorization. Marketplace templates built on the connector, such as Amazon Vendor Central (API) – NetSuite, are provided by their publishers, who own the template's flows and licensing.

Set up a connection

After you start the connection, configure it in the Create connection panel and complete all of the required * authentication settings:

Setting Instructions
Name your connection *

Enter a clear and distinguishable name.

Throughout integrator.io imports and exports, you will have the option to choose this new connection. A unique identifier will prove helpful later when selecting it from a list of the connections in your account.
Selling region * Choose North America, Far East, or Europe.
Marketplace * Choose your Vendor Central marketplace. The available options depend on the selected selling region.

Tip

This connector documentation describes only the settings shown for the Simple view. For the corresponding HTTP settings, see the OAuth 2.0 auth universal connector documentation.

Authorize the connection

The connection uses Celigo's registered Selling Partner API (SP-API) application. Authorize it from your existing Vendor Central account.

  1. Select Save & authorize. integrator.io opens the Vendor Central authorization page for your marketplace, such as vendorcentral.amazon.co.jp for Japan.
  2. Sign in to your Vendor Central account with a user who can authorize applications.
  3. Review the request and approve it.

Note

You don't need to register as a developer, create your own Amazon application, or sign a separate Amazon API agreement. You don't need to enter a client ID or secret.

Who can authorize

The Vendor Central user needs both of the following:

  • The Manage Integrations (EDI/API) permission. In Vendor Central, go to Settings > Manage Permissions to enable it.
  • Access to the vendor group or vendor codes that the integration should reach.

Important

The authorization covers every vendor code in the vendor group that the user signs in to.

Re-authorize the connection every 365 days

Amazon requires you to renew the authorization every 365 days. You don't need to create a new application or reinstall a template.

  1. In integrator.io, open the existing Amazon Vendor Central connection.
  2. Select Save & authorize.
  3. In Vendor Central, sign in and approve the request.

integrator.io saves the new authorization. This is separate from the automatic access token refresh, which needs no action from you.

Troubleshoot error SPSA2043

Amazon shows this error on the authorization page when your vendor group is missing the SPDS-VC-MYA role. The connection can't be authorized until the role is added. Ask your Vendor Central vendor manager to enable the role, then authorize again.

Use your own Amazon developer registration

Only a custom HTTP connection requires your own Amazon developer registration. For steps, see the token-based and OAuth 2.0 HTTP connection articles.
