Automating Selling on Amazon
- Amazon's Home Page for MWS appears to be here aws.amazon.com
- Amazon's developers page for their API: Amazon Marketplace Web Service (Amazon MWS)
- login here under my amazon merchant email and passwor, then select "want to access my own Amazon seller account with MWS" and accept their agreement and it should yields all of my access codes.
- apparently the Forum: Amazon Marketplace Web Service (Amazon MWS) is here. ... might need to be logged on to a webstore account to access.
- the top of the MWS documentation is here.
- the next question: where do i get the php libraries? and their documentation?
- found on stack overflow here, the following looks like good pointers ...
- read the Developer Guide
- read the Reports API Reference
- RequestReport with some ReportType that will return order data (page 51 or so, look the reports api reference)
- you can test this with the MWS Scratchpad
- you can also post to the Amazon MWS community forum to get additional help
- in particular Forum: Amazon Marketplace Web Service (Amazon MWS)
- you can even write to the Amazon Tech Support

the mws zip file has been unzipped on local mac under
- ~/speaktomecatalog.com/db/amazon_lib_unzipped/
- ~/speaktomecatalog.com/db/amazon1 ... where my app is progressing with the idental directory structure as the example
- the program is here getAmazonOrders1.php
To confirm orders, follow the directions here,
- modify tome/usps_respond.prg to output tab delimited template format
- denise will upload that file to amazon here

ok, Amazon fixed the download and i got the library now and my credentials to use it via the registration. Next, install it and see if i can run some of the examples. The plan is to allow denise to hit our php program which will put the amazon orders into our normal stream of orders from our own website. then our back office should't even be needed to be changed at all.

introduction to AWS from twitter.

unfortunately amazon does not provide merchants with a unique identifier for the customer. so when we need to determine if we are shipping to the buyer, rather than somone the buyer is gifting, we need to guess. here are some guessing rules ... assume that there are two names
- if the first name is the same, then there is no shipto
