Amazon Merchant API
Amazon Marketplace Web Service (Amazon MWS) is an integrated Web service API that helps Amazon sellers to programmatically exchange data on listings, orders, payments, reports, and more. The Amazon MWS Fulfillment functionality extends the benefits of FBA by allowing sellers to integrate FBA capabilities directly into Magento store.
The Amazon Marketplace Web Service (Amazon MWS) Fulfillment API sections include operations that allow sellers to access Amazon's world-class Fulfillment capabilities through a simple Web services interface. Among other features, a seller can programmatically send order information to Amazon with instructions to fulfill customer orders on the seller's behalf.
When orders are placed on the Amazon site, or when a seller sends order information for orders placed through Magento store, Amazon will pick, pack, and ship the products to the seller's customers.
