Configure Amazon MWS Connector in Odoo
|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
Get your Amazon MWS Credentials
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
In order to integrate Amazon with Odoo, a seller account on professional selling plan is required.
|
|
|
|
.. Anchor should be one paragraph below but is placed here to fix wrongly adjusted display
|
|
.. _developer-form:
|
|
|
|
Visit the `Amazon Marketplace Web Service documentation
|
|
<http://docs.developer.amazonservices.com/en_US/dev_guide/DG_Registering.html>`_ and follow the
|
|
instructions to register as a developer.
|
|
|
|
Fill the Developer Registration and Assessment form as suggested below and provide your own contact
|
|
information in the **Developer contact information** section. For the other sections, take care to
|
|
adapt your responses accordingly to your business case. In particular, select the correct region of
|
|
your seller account and uncheck the **Merchant Fulfilled Shipping** function if you plan to sell
|
|
exclusively with the Fulfillment by Amazon service.
|
|
|
|
.. warning :: If you select the **Merchant Fulfilled Shipping** function (i.e. you request access to
|
|
Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of your customers), Amazon may request you
|
|
to fill out a second form, depending on the data protection policy in the region of
|
|
your seller account (e.g. GDPR in Europe).

Register your Amazon account in Odoo
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
To register your seller account in Odoo, navigate to :menuselection:`Sales --> Configuration
|
|
--> Settings --> Connectors --> Amazon Sync --> Amazon Accounts` and click on **CREATE**.
|
|
|
|
The **Seller ID** can be found in Seller Central under the link **Your Merchant Token** on the
|
|
**Seller Account Information** page. The **Access Key** and the **Secret Key** can be found in
|
|
Developer Central (where the Developer Registration and Assessment form was located).
|
|
|
|
Once the account is registered, the marketplaces available to this account are synchronized and
|
|
listed under the **Marketplaces** tab. If you wish, you can remove some from the list of
|
|
synchronized marketplaces to disable their synchronization.
|
|
|
|
Match database products in Amazon orders
|
|
========================================
|
|
|
|
.. Anchor should be one paragraph below but is placed here to fix wrongly adjusted display
|
|
.. _matching:
|
|
|
|
When an Amazon order is synchronized, up to three sales order items are created in Odoo for each
|
|
product sold on Amazon: one for the marketplace product, one for the shipping charges (if any) and
|
|
one for the gift wrapping charges (if any).
|
|
|
|
The selection of a database product for a sales order item is done by matching its
|
|
**internal reference** with the **SKU** for marketplace items, the **shipping code** for delivery
|
|
charges, and the **gift wrapping** code for gift wrapping charges.
|
|
|
|
For marketplace products, matchings are saved as **Amazon Offers** which are listed under the
|
|
**Offers** stat button on the account form. Offers are automatically created when the matching is
|
|
established and are used for subsequent orders to lookup SKUs. If no offer with a matching SKU is
|
|
found, :ref:`the internal reference is used instead <matching>`.
|
|
|
|
.. tip :: It is possible to force the matching of a marketplace item with a specific product by
|
|
changing either the product or the SKU of an offer. The offer can be manually created if
|
|
it was not automatically done yet. This is useful if you do not use the internal
|
|
reference as the SKU or if you sell the product under different conditions.
|
|
|
|
If no database product with a matching internal reference is found for a given SKU or gift wrapping
|
|
code, a default database product **Amazon Sale** is used. The same is done with the default product
|
|
**Amazon Shipping** and the shipping code.
|
|
|
|
.. note :: To modify the default products, activate the **Developer mode** and navigate to
|
|
:menuselection:`Sales --> Configuration --> Settings --> Connectors --> Amazon Sync -->
|
|
Default Products`.
|
|
|
|
Configure taxes of products
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
To allow for tax reporting of Amazon sales with Odoo, the taxes applied to the sales order items are
|
|
those set on the product or determined by the fiscal position. Make sure to have set the correct
|
|
taxes on your products in Odoo or to have it done by a fiscal position, to avoid discrepancies in
|
|
the subtotals between Seller Central and Odoo.
|
|
|
|
.. note :: As Amazon does not necessarily apply the same taxes as those configured in Odoo, it may
|
|
happen that order totals differ by a few cents from that on Seller Central. Those
|
|
differences can be resolved with a write-off when reconciling the payments in Odoo. |
