The limitations of Amazon Shipping without Shippingbo

- Deploy Amazon Shipping without weakening your existing setup: Adding a new carrier creates organisational complexity

- Make your shipments more secure and reliable
- Make your flows easier to understand
- Add Amazon Shipping within a more controlled framework
Advanced use cases: compatibility is validated before activation
The connection is self-service for standard use cases. If you have a more complex Amazon Shipping configuration, we validate the setup with you before you go live.
ON Amazon vs OFF Amazon
You ship orders placed on Amazon as well as orders placed outside Amazon. The right service is not selected in the same way depending on the true order source. Shippingbo lets you structure the use of ON Amazon and OFF Amazon services according to your flows, helping prevent configuration errors at shipment.
Label provider
You use a label provider and need to generate Amazon Shipping labels within a different setup from a standard Amazon account. In this case, all orders are treated as OFF Amazon flows. Shippingbo lets you configure this model from the outset to avoid connecting the wrong service type and to secure the launch.
Postcode coverage
Some shipments may fail if the postcode is not covered by the selected Amazon Shipping service. The issue does not always appear early enough in the process. Shippingbo lets you add a dedicated mapping rule to check delivery-area eligibility and reduce blockages when labels are generated.
International
You want to extend Amazon Shipping beyond the domestic scope with specific settings. Shippingbo lets you define this scope upfront, particularly around service selection and the required fields for your configuration.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions
Can I use Amazon Shipping to ship orders from my e-commerce website?
Yes. You can use Amazon Shipping as a carrier for orders outside Amazon, including those from your CMS or other sales channels, depending on your configuration and Amazon Shipping account. This lets you centralise your shipments in Shippingbo.
How do I connect Amazon Shipping to Shippingbo?
The connection is set up directly from Shippingbo: add Amazon Shipping as a carrier contract, enable the services you need, then link your Amazon account to authorise the connection. Once the configuration has been validated, you can start generating labels.
How does Amazon Shipping integrate with my other carriers?
Amazon Shipping is added alongside your other carriers in Shippingbo. You can manage several shipping options in the same environment and define allocation rules according to your operational requirements.
Does Amazon Shipping parcel tracking flow back into Shippingbo?
Yes. Tracking information can flow back into Shippingbo after shipment, centralising shipment management and making customer service handling easier.
How can I avoid label errors with Amazon Shipping?
Shippingbo helps secure the carrier configuration and lets you add mapping rules, particularly to check the eligibility of certain shipments before generating a label. This helps limit blockages at dispatch.
Can I use Amazon Shipping if I have both Amazon and non-Amazon flows?
Yes. Shippingbo can distinguish between ON Amazon and OFF Amazon flows so the right service is used based on the order source. This is particularly useful when your operations combine several sales channels.
