Benefits of the Amazon x Shippingbo connector
Protect your Amazon sales with more reliable stock
A stock error on Amazon never stays a small error. Shippingbo automates quantity updates to limit discrepancies, prevent overselling and let you sell with greater confidence from shared stock.
Save time on every Amazon order
Your Amazon orders are integrated into the same tool as your other flows. Your teams process them faster, with fewer manual steps, fewer duplicates and less back-and-forth between systems.
Absorb growth without breaking your processes
When Amazon volumes increase, workarounds stop being sustainable. Shippingbo makes the key flows between the marketplace and your operations more reliable, helping you stay in control of shipments, statuses and exceptions.
Manage Amazon as a genuine logistics channel, not a separate flow
Amazon no longer sits in isolation within your organisation. You integrate it into a clearer omnichannel model, with better visibility over flows, rules and points requiring attention.

The limitations of Amazon without Shippingbo
Without Shippingbo
- Avoid overselling on Amazon: Amazon stock remains difficult to track when it is shared with other channels. Discrepancies increase, as do manual checks.
- Process Amazon orders without adding organisational overhead: Teams switch between several tools and waste time checking, correcting or re-entering data.
- Keep shipping operations smooth as volumes increase: As activity accelerates, statuses, tracking and exceptions become harder to manage.
- Reduce errors in Amazon flows: Duplicates, delays or data-transfer errors make processing and management more difficult.
- Handle exceptions without complicating the whole process: Every special case adds manual work and weakens the standard flow.
- Maintain genuine visibility over Amazon within an omnichannel model: Amazon remains managed separately, with limited perspective for managing the overall operation effectively.
With Shippingbo
- Maintain more reliable stock between Amazon and the rest of your flows
- Centralise your Amazon orders more effectively alongside your other flows.
- Keep your flows cleaner and more stable.
- Make exchanges between Amazon and your operations more reliable.
- Adapt the connector to your needs without adding complexity to your processes.
- Integrate Amazon into a clearer view of your operations.
Advanced use cases: compatibility is validated before activation
Amazon is straightforward when the flow is simple. It is when special cases accumulate that the connector needs to remain easy to control.
Omnichannel
Amazon is added alongside your e-commerce site and other channels. Flows multiply quickly. Shippingbo integrates Amazon into the same operational model as your other channels for clearer, less fragmented management.
Order exceptions
Not all Amazon orders are processed in the same way: pending payment, B2B, orders shipped by Amazon and tax scenarios. The connector provides configuration options to adapt the flow to your operation without adding manual processing everywhere.
High volumes / activity peaks
When volumes rise, manual checks take up too much time and errors become more costly. Shippingbo automates key flows to maintain more stable, smoother processing as activity accelerates.
Multi-country / international
Selling across several Amazon marketplaces means multiple accounts, multiple configurations and more flows to monitor. Shippingbo uses one connector per country / marketplace to keep the setup clearer. The exact scope must still be validated based on your configuration.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions
We sell on Amazon and on our own website. How is stock synchronised?
Shippingbo centralises your stock so you do not have to manage Amazon separately. When an order is placed on your website or on Amazon, the available quantity is updated automatically to keep stock consistent across your channels. This helps limit discrepancies, overselling and manual corrections.
Does the Amazon connector manage orders fulfilled by Amazon (FBA)?
Yes. You can retrieve information relating to Amazon flows fulfilled by Amazon and consolidate it with your other orders to maintain a more complete view of your activity. If you do not want these orders to be imported into Shippingbo, an option also lets you ignore them.
How are shipping status and tracking updated on Amazon?
As soon as a Amazon order is shipped from Shippingbo, the shipping information can be sent back automatically to Amazon, including the carrier and tracking number depending on your configuration. Your teams do not need to re-enter this information manually in Seller Central.
Can I use my own carriers to ship Amazon orders?
Yes. The Shippingbo Amazon connector lets you process FBM orders with your own carrier portfolio. You retain control over shipping rules, costs and logistics choices, and the tracking information is then sent back to Amazon after shipment.
Do I need to create a Amazon connector for each country?
Yes. A separate Amazon external service must be created for each country / marketplace. This keeps the configuration clear for every connected environment. However, when several Amazon accounts share the same merchant id, stock updates can be enabled on a single connector.
Can specific cases such as B2B orders, orders awaiting payment or certain tax rules be managed?
Yes. The connector includes several configuration options to adapt the flow to your operation: B2B orders, orders awaiting payment, tax management and exclusion of certain orders fulfilled by Amazon. This keeps processing cleaner without multiplying manual workarounds.
