Why integrate Amazon Shipping through the Sendcloud API?
Built for Amazon Marketplace sellers
Amazon Shipping lets marketplace sellers ship orders outside Amazon's Fulfilled by Amazon programme. Sendcloud connects to both Shipper Central and Buy Shipping from a single integration.
Two Amazon shipping platforms, one integration
Shipper Central is Amazon's seller-facing shipping dashboard. Buy Shipping purchases rates directly inside Seller Central. Sendcloud's REST API supports both flows with a single label call.
Integrate with 170+ couriers at once
Stop maintaining and integrating different couriers and use one API for all.
GDPR Compliance
We comply with the GDPR rules to protect data and privacy in Europe.
API uptime of 99.99%
Reliable shipping software built on AWS and with leading market technologies.
ISO 27001 Certified

Questions & answers
Why integrate the Amazon Shipping API via Sendcloud instead of directly?
Direct Amazon Shipping integration means understanding which Amazon platform applies to your use case (Shipper Central for transport logistics, Seller Central + Buy Shipping for marketplace fulfilment) and building separate flows for each.
Through Sendcloud, you authenticate once with your Sendcloud API key and use a single REST schema for Amazon Shipping alongside every other courier in your account. A direct Amazon Shipping contract is required either way; Sendcloud rates aren't offered for Amazon Shipping.
What happens when Amazon Shipping updates or breaks their API?
Amazon Shipping availability and shipping methods vary by country and update independently across markets. Direct integrators have to track changes per region, refresh credentials, and adjust payload structures when Amazon ships changes.
When you ship Amazon Shipping through the Sendcloud REST API, the abstraction layer absorbs those changes. Sendcloud's engineering monitors Amazon's developer documentation and adjusts the courier connector internally. Your Sendcloud request schema stays the same.
Can I use my own Amazon Shipping contract?
Yes, and you have to. Amazon Shipping requires a direct contract with Amazon; Sendcloud rates aren’t offered. Visit Amazon’s official site to start one.
In Sendcloud, go to Shipping > Couriers > My Contracts, find Amazon Shipping, and click Add Contract. Connect your Amazon Shipper Central account through the activation flow. A Lite, Growth, or Premium plan is required.
For Amazon Buy Shipping (a feature inside Seller Central), use Sendcloud’s Amazon Seller Central integration as a separate flow.
See the Amazon Shipping contract activation Help Centre article.
Which Amazon Shipping products are supported through the API?
Sendcloud connects to Amazon's own courier service in markets where Amazon offers it. Specific shipping methods depend on your contract and country; the Sendcloud shipping-methods endpoint returns the up-to-date list.
Amazon Shipping is most widely available in the UK and Spain, with growing presence in Germany, Italy, and France. Check Amazon's country-specific availability before activating.
Which Amazon Shipping-specific features does the API expose?
Amazon Shipping-specific features exposed through the integration:
Amazon Shipper Central integration for transport logistics
Amazon Buy Shipping (within Seller Central): purchase shipping labels for Amazon orders directly, accessible through Sendcloud's Amazon Seller Central integration
Country-specific shipping methods that vary by Amazon Shipping market availability
Amazon's own courier network for last-mile delivery in supported countries
How do I track Amazon Shipping parcels?
Amazon Shipping tracking events flow through Shipper Central into Sendcloud's webhook system once your contract is connected. The same code path covers Amazon Shipping and every other connected courier on your account.
All events normalise to Sendcloud's status taxonomy through GET https://panel.sendcloud.sc/api/v2/tracking/{tracking_number}, with the chronological history under statuses and each event mapped to parent_status. Subscribe to the parcel-status-changed webhook for push updates. Reference: Tracking parcels.
How do I create Amazon Shipping return labels?
Amazon Shipping return method availability depends on your contract and country. Since Amazon Shipping is most widely available in the UK and Spain, return support varies by region. The Sendcloud shipping-methods endpoint returns the methods enabled for your account.
All return labels are created through Sendcloud's standalone v3 Returns API (synchronous or asynchronous; async is recommended for higher throughput). No outgoing parcel lookup or JWT tokens are required. Reference: Returns API overview.
How does Sendcloud's multi-carrier API compare to connecting couriers individually?
The Sendcloud REST API gives you access to 170+ couriers, including Amazon Shipping, through one credential set, one schema, one webhook stream, and one error model. Connecting couriers individually means handling separate authentication, payload formats, and tracking systems for each, and redoing the work every time a courier ships breaking changes upstream.
With Sendcloud, you ship Amazon Shipping alongside Royal Mail, DHL, DPD, and Evri, or any other courier in your account using the same code. Route shipments between couriers based on rules (weight, destination, service level, cost) without writing courier-specific routing logic. Fall back to alternative couriers automatically if Amazon Shipping's upstream system has issues.
Adding a new courier later means adding it to your Sendcloud account, not building a new integration.
