Advantages of the Amazon x Shippingb connector
This Amazon module unifies your e-commerce. By ensuring centralization of orders and perfect data synchronization, you eliminate manual tasks and the risk of errors. Our OMS e-commerce gives you the visibility you need to make strategic decisions, monitor your performance on every channel, and turn your logistics into a real competitive advantage.
5 key benefits of integration
Real-time inventory synchronization
Every sale, whether on Amazon, your site or another marketplace, updates your stock everywhere, eliminating the risk of selling out of stock.
Centralization of all orders
Automatically import your Amazon orders and combine them with those from all your other sales channels in a single interface.
Automatic status updates
Once an order has been dispatched, its status and tracking information are automatically transmitted to Amazon, guaranteeing compliance with their requirements.
FBA and FBM management
Control both your own dispatched flows (FBM - Fulfilled by Merchant) and your inventory and orders dispatched by Amazon (FBA - Fulfillment by Amazon).
Transport optimization
Compare and assign the best carrier for your FBM orders according to your own cost and performance rules.
Logistics challenges without an integrated Amazon connector
- The ever-present risk of stock-outs
Selling an item on your Shopify site that has just been sold on Amazon is every omnichannel seller’s nightmare. Without automatic synchronization, manual inventory updating is too slow and inevitably leads to cancelled sales, disappointed customers and penalties on your Amazon seller account. Unified e-commerce inventory management is the only solution.
- Fragmented, time-consuming order management
Having to juggle between Seller Central’s interface for Amazon orders and your site’s back office for others is a considerable waste of time. It prevents you from having an overview of your preparation volume, makes task allocation more complex and increases the risk of oversights or errors.
- Manual updating of shipping information
Amazon requires tracking information to be communicated promptly after shipment. Manually copying and pasting each tracking number from your shipping system into Seller Central is not only tedious, but a single error or delay can negatively impact your seller performance metrics.
- A blurred vision of profitability by channel
Without a centralized system that consolidates order and shipping data, it’s very difficult to accurately compare the profitability of your Amazon sales against your other channels. You’re flying blind, unable to make informed decisions about the allocation of your inventory and marketing efforts.
FAQ - Frequently asked questions
We sell on Amazon and on our own site. How does the connector synchronize inventory?
The connector acts as a central hub for your stock. When you receive an order on your site, the stock is decremented and the new quantity is immediately sent to Amazon (and all your other channels). Conversely, a sale on Amazon updates the stock available on your site. This two-way, real-time synchronization is the key to eliminating overselling and unexpected stock-outs.
Does the connector support "Shipped by Amazon" (FBA) orders?
Yes. Our platform gives you visibility into your FBA inventory. You can track orders being processed by Amazon’s warehouses, and consolidate this data with that of your self-ship orders (FBM) to get a complete view of your business on the marketplace.
How is the shipping status updated on Amazon for our FBM orders?
The process is fully automated. As soon as you generate the shipping label for an Amazon order in our system (whether with Colissimo, UPS, etc.), we automatically transmit the carrier name and tracking number to Amazon via the API. This ensures that you meet the deadlines imposed by Amazon and informs your customer without any manual action on your part.
Can we use Amazon's "Buy Shipping" service directly via the connector?
Our connector focuses on order centralization and inventory synchronization, allowing you to use your own panel of carriers to ship your FBM orders. This gives you the flexibility to choose the most economical or efficient carrier according to your own rules. After shipment, we synchronize tracking. The aim is to give you control over your omnichannel logistics, not to tie you to a single label purchasing service.
Do Amazon customers receive notifications?
Yes, Shippingbo allows you to send notifications by e-mail, SMS or WhatsApp according to order status and connected carriers.
