Amazon SP Notifications API & DataChannel for real-time Business Updates

Amazon (Selling Partner) SP Notification API

The Selling Partner API for Notifications enables Selling Partners to stay informed about business-relevant updates without the need for constant polling. This API allows you to set up a destination where you'll receive notifications, subscribe to specific types of notifications, manage your notification subscriptions, and more. Instead of continuously checking for information, your application can now receive real-time updates from Amazon whenever an event triggers a notification you've subscribed to.

What is Amazon’s Order API?

The Selling Partner API for Orders helps you programmatically retrieve order information. These APIs let you develop fast, flexible, custom applications in areas like order synchronization, order research, and demand-based decision support tools. Note: Amazon's Selling Partner API can be used for both Sellers & Vendors, and is designed to improve efficiency & boost growth.
