Seller account identifiers for Seller Account Name
- Seller ID

Seller-Developer Authtorisation
- MWS Authorisation Token
Please note: The marketplace ID is standard for every country, so you will only have to select the country of your marketplace on your Sendcloud panel. Make sure to select the right country.
2. Log into your Sendcloud account now and go to Settings > Integrations.
3. Locate the Amazon module to configure the integration. Click on 'Connect' to integrate with Amazon.
4. Copy all necessary keys from your Amazon MWS page to the following page.
In the field "Name", enter the name of your Amazon store. On this page, you can choose whether to import the weight of the package or not from your shop. You can also define when the status of your orders should be updated in your shop; either when the "parcel is announced to carrier" or when the parcel is "processed at carrier".
Once you are done you can Save the settings.
Step 3: Add shipping weights to products
To import your orders to Sendcloud you will need to add the "Shipping Weight" to the Amazon listing:
1. Go to enable “Advanced View” and click on “More Details”.
2. Go to the "Shipping Weight" and enter in how much your package weighs.
