Need to integrate My Depot with Amazon Seller Central?

Connecting My Depot to your Amazon Seller Central store lets you bring in product information, keep stock and prices updated, and send customer orders to the supplier. You will need a supplier account and permission to use the services you want to automate.

Spark Shipping automates these tasks so you spend less time copying information and placing orders yourself. Connect your Amazon Seller Central store, add My Depot, then choose products to add or match the supplier’s products to listings already in your Amazon Seller Central store.

You can also have a developer build a connection using the supplier’s API or data files, but you or your developer will need to maintain it.

Before switching on automatic ordering, test an order and its tracking and complete any supplier approvals. Product information access and ordering permission may be separate. See supplier integration options.

You can import the product details My Depot supplies, such as names, descriptions, images, specifications, product codes and prices. What you receive depends on the supplier and your account; some images or descriptions may require a separate content service or license.

Spark Shipping automatically downloads the available product information. You can then select the products you want and import them into your Amazon Seller Central store with one click, without building each listing manually.

This saves you from entering each listing manually and makes it easier to add a supplier’s range to your Amazon Seller Central store.

Alternatively, you can enter details yourself, import a product file or have a developer build and maintain a connection to the supplier.

Start with a small category and check sizes, product options and pack quantities. Match any products already listed so you do not create duplicates. See publishing products from the catalog.

Keep your Amazon Seller Central store’s stock quantities updated from My Depot so customers see what the supplier has available. You can also hold back a small quantity from sale as a stock buffer to reduce the risk of selling items that have just run out.

Spark Shipping checks supplier stock on a schedule and automatically updates the matching products in your Amazon Seller Central store. Once you connect the Amazon Seller Central store and supplier, match your products and choose your stock settings, you no longer need to repeat those stock checks and edits manually.

You can update quantities yourself or build a connection to the supplier’s stock data, which you or your developer would maintain.

Check the warehouse locations included and test an out-of-stock product. Stock can change between updates, so automation reduces overselling risk without eliminating it completely. See inventory synchronization settings.

You can keep selling prices in line with My Depot cost changes by setting rules for how each cost becomes a retail price. Allow for delivery and selling fees when choosing your markup.

Spark Shipping automatically updates prices using supplier costs and the pricing rules you choose, so you don't have to check every cost change and recalculate prices yourself. Connect your Amazon Seller Central store and supplier, set your rules and check a few products before applying them more widely.

You can also calculate and edit prices manually or have a developer build and maintain a connection to the supplier’s price data.

If My Depot provides minimum advertised price (MAP) information, use the relevant pricing settings and check the brand’s policy. A price feed alone does not guarantee compliance. Review changes held for approval if that option applies. See store price update settings.

Automatic ordering sends customer purchases from your Amazon Seller Central store to My Depot without you placing each supplier order yourself. First, match the Amazon Seller Central store products to the supplier’s products and make sure your account is approved for live orders.

Spark Shipping automatically sends the order items assigned to My Depot, reducing repeated order entry as sales grow. Connect your Amazon Seller Central store and supplier, check a test order for the right products, quantities and delivery address, then enable automatic ordering after any required approvals.

The alternatives are placing each order through the supplier’s tools or building and maintaining your own connection to its ordering API.

Decide how your team will handle rejected orders or unavailable items. Access to product or stock information does not always include permission to place orders. See order routing instructions.

Tracking can be added to your Amazon Seller Central store once My Depot ships the goods and provides the shipment details. Each tracking number needs to reach the right customer order and products.

Spark Shipping automatically collects supplier tracking and adds it to the matching Amazon Seller Central orders, saving you from looking up and copying shipment details yourself. For orders sent in several packages, check that each tracking number is returned correctly.

You can also copy tracking manually or have a developer build and maintain a connection to the supplier’s shipment API.

Check a shipped order before relying on automation, and review your Amazon Seller Central store’s notification settings so customers receive the shipping messages you want. See tracking automation overview.

You can sell My Depot products on Amazon Seller Central alongside other suppliers and stock held in your own store or warehouse. Decide who should ship each product and which source takes priority when several carry the same item.

Spark Shipping automatically sends the relevant order items to each supplier or your own shipping team, saving you from splitting and forwarding every order manually. Depending on your setup, you can choose sources using supplier priority, cost, warehouse distance or the delivery destination.

You could also divide orders yourself or build and maintain connections to each source.

Check that product codes, sizes and pack quantities refer to the same item before combining sources. Test an order with products from several sources, including its tracking; supplier restrictions and available stock still affect who can fulfill it. See choosing an order routing rule.
