How to use AfterShip Shipping to generate Amazon Shipping labels
In AfterShip Shipping, we do support to use the admin portal and API to generate Amazon Shipping labels for both Amazon orders and non-Amazon orders.
Remember to choose the correct service to use for ON or OFF Amazon use case. Refer to above "Supported market and service" table.
1. Use admin portal for Amazon orders
It's the most common scenario.
Simply connect your Amazon Seller Central store with AfterShip Shipping here, so your Amazon orders will be auto imported to AfterShip Shipping portal and you can go ahead to create labels.
2. Use admin portal for non-Amazon orders
You can create non-Amazon orders by any methods, e.g. import from Shopify store, import from CSV, or create manually.
3. Use API for Amazon orders
It's usually used if you do sell on Amazon while have your own OMS/WMS to work with AfterShip Shipping with an API solution.
Need to amend 2 fields in your generic API request payload to support this use case:
- Include below extra information to indicate it's Amazon order:
`"custom_fields":{
"amazon_order_id":"{your_amazon_order_id}"
}` - Ensure the shipment.parcels.items.item_id reflects to the real Amazon order item id
Both information can be retrieved from your Amazon order, see below example.
4. Use API for non-Amazon orders
Create shipping labels with the generic behavior as other carriers.
