Name Amazon Marketplace Web Service
Ontology

The Amazon Marketplace Web Service is a set of API functions to let people selling things or fulfilling orders through Amazon's sites and services update their merchandise, download reports on activity, etc. A web interface is also offered for file uploads/downloads. Uploads and downloads are done largely using tab delimited files, but XML formats are also available for some reports.

Fulfillment request upload file

Contains orders taken on non-Amazon sites being uploaded to Amazon for fulfillment (when the products are stocked and shipped from Amazon's warehouses).

Tab delimited with these fields (one line per line item; there may be multiple line items in an order):

  • MerchantFulfillmentOrderID: Order number in merchant's system (needs to be unique for each order)
  • DisplayableOrderID: Order number shown on packing slip (usually the same as previous field)
  • DisplayableOrderDate: Order date (in ISO YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS format, with optional time zone specification +/-HH:MM following
  • MerchantSKU: Product code (as set up between merchant and Amazon)
  • Quantity: Number of units to ship
  • MerchantFulfillmentOrderItemID: A unique ID for each line item of order
  • GiftMessage: Message to add to packing slip for gift orders
  • DisplayableComment: Comment to add to packing slip for line item
  • PerUnitDeclaredValue: Value of a unit (used only for international orders needing to be declared for customs purposes)
  • DisplayableOrderComment: Comment to add to packing slip for entire order
  • DeliverySLA: Standard, Expedited, or Priority; indicates shipping type. Expedited is 2nd-day, Priority is overnight.
  • AddressName: Recipient's name.
  • AddressFieldOne: Street address
  • AddressFieldTwo
  • AddressFieldThree
  • AddressCity
