Amazon Connector features¶
The Amazon Connector synchronizes orders between Amazon and Odoo, which considerably reduces the amount of time spent manually entering Amazon orders (from the Amazon Seller account) into Odoo. It also allows users to accurately keep track of Amazon sales in Odoo.
Supported features¶
The Amazon Connector is able to:
Synchronize (Amazon to Odoo) all confirmed orders (both FBA and FBM), and their order items, which include:
product name, description, and quantity
shipping costs for the product
gift wrapping charges
Create any missing partner related to an order in Odoo (contact types supported: contact and delivery address).
Notify Amazon of confirmed shipment in Odoo (FBM) to get paid.
Synchronize (Odoo to Amazon) all available quantities of your products (FBM).
Support multiple seller accounts.

Important
The stock synchronization does not currently support selling the same product as FBM and FBA.
At times, when stock is sent for all products, it triggers a stock problem with Amazon, where Amazon incorrectly thinks the FBM product has some quantity in FBM.
As a result, Amazon then sells it as FBM, instead of taking from their own warehouse. Odoo developers are currently working on resolving this issue to avoid future discrepancies.
Note
The Amazon Connector is designed to synchronize the data of sales orders. Other actions, such as downloading monthly fees reports, handling disputes, or issuing refunds, must be managed from the Amazon Seller Central, as usual.
Warning
As of February 19, 2024, in North American marketplaces, FBA orders created with the Amazon Connector, do not get the customer’s name passed onto the sales/delivery order in Odoo. This is due to the fact that Amazon now calculates, and remits, sales tax on behalf of sellers. In other words, personally identifiable customer information is not transmitted to the seller any longer, after a FBA order.
Supported marketplaces¶
If a marketplace is not listed in your Amazon marketplaces, it’s possible to add a new marketplace.
