FAQ

Q.Why does “REDACTED” show for name, address, phone, email on some of my older Amazon orders in Shipwire?

A.Amazon requires that all apps comply with their customer data protection guidelines. One of the requirements is to remove personally identifiable information (PII) from orders we have imported from them. In order to comply with this requirement, we replace this PII with “REDACTED” at 30 days after the order has been shipped. If you need this information on older orders, please retrieve it from your Amazon account.

Q.My orders from Amazon suddenly stopped importing to Shipwire. What happened?

A.This usually occurs when the token expires. The Merchant can reauthorize the token using the same steps as mentioned in Step 2 – Setup Connection.

Q.How can I use Shipwire to fulfil some of my products I sell on Amazon, but not all of them?

A.Simply load into Shipwire only the products that you would like us to fulfil. Then edit the setting for “Sell tool orders w/ unknown products” in your Shipping Preferences. Here, you can set orders with unknown products to be rejected, held, or shipped with just the products that Shipwire recognizes.

Q.How are Amazon’s shipping methods mapped to Shipwire service types?

A.Amazon shipping methods will map as provided below:

Amazon shipping level => Shipwire service type
Standard => GD
Expedited => 2D
SecondDay => 2D
NextDay => 1D
Express => 1D

Q.How often will my inventory sync to Amazon?

A.Your inventory will be synced with Amazon once per hour.
