Inventory
The Amazon Channel follows the basic Inventory Sync Options.
Order
The Amazon Channel follows the basic Order Sync Options.
Note that due to Amazon API limitations, buyer information, such as name, shipping address, and contact details, will not be imported along with the orders.
LitCommerce can only retrieve product-related data, including the product name, SKU, quantity, shipping fee, tax, and other order-level details, and transfer it to your Main Store.
There are a few ways to handle this:
- You can fulfill orders directly on Amazon, where all buyer information is available. This eliminates the need to import the information into your Main Store.
- If you fulfill orders in your Main Store, simply copy the buyer details from Amazon and manually enter them into the corresponding orders.
If orders are fulfilled in your Main Store, LitCommerce cannot sync the order status and tracking information to Amazon. This is also because of the same API restriction.
Additionally, inventory for FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) listings will not be synced from your Main Store to Amazon via LitCommerce. Since Amazon handles FBA stock independently, inventory management for these items is not supported by third-party apps, including our tool.
Aside from the basics, the Order section also includes settings tailored to this specific marketplace.
Skip FBA Orders
By default, LitCommerce imports both FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) and FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant) orders. Enabling this feature to retrieve only FBM orders into our system and your Main Store.
This helps with more accurate sales tracking and prevents confusion between the two order types.
Ignore FBA Products Inventory
This feature is only available for the Shopify Main Store.
LitCommerce can import orders containing FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) products to the system and your Main Store when enabling this feature. However, the inventory of these FBA items will not be automatically adjusted from your Main Store accordingly.
You can proactively control your Main Store FBA inventory when using this feature.
Other settings
Deselect Products after Bulk Action
By default, selected listings remain checked after bulk actions. Enable this setting to automatically clear selections to prevent duplicate actions.
Sync to Main Store
If your Main Store has multiple warehouse locations, select one warehouse to do the following:
- Sync to Location (only available for the Square Main Store): Update inventory in a specific warehouse when Amazon orders are imported.
- Create on Location (available for both the Shopify and Square Main Stores): Update stock in a selected warehouse when creating listings from Amazon to the Main Store.
Once you have completed setting up the Amazon Channel Settings, save the configurations using the Save Settings button at the bottom of the interface.
