Amazon 404. Setting up an Amazon Shipping Method

Amazon Article Index

When we download an order from Amazon and pass it to the POS we need to assign all the shipping information that Amazon gives us to a shipping method. The best way of doing this is to create a dummy Amazon shipping method which the integration can assign information to.

Setting up a Shipping Method
Different POS system do this in different ways:

  • RMS Store Operations and HQ: Create shipping method in Store Operations Manager;
  • POS 2009: Create shipping method in WebStore Manager;
  • Cash Register Express (CRE):Create shipping method in WebStore Manager;
  • The General Store (TGS): Create shipping method in WebStore Manager;
  • UnifyPOS: Create shipping method in WebStore Manager;

The shipping method should set the cost of any shipping to 0. This will be over-ridden with the values that Amazon pass down.
