Amazon Shipping Integration FAQs: Amazon's own carrier, one multichannel queue

Amazon Shipping is Amazon's own carrier service, letting sellers and businesses buy shipping labels through Amazon's delivery network — separate from selling on the Amazon marketplace itself. The InfiPlex™ Inventory & Order Management System (OMS) connects your Amazon Shipping account so orders from every sales channel flow into one queue, labels buy through Amazon's carrier network, and tracking posts back automatically.

What Amazon Shipping Actually Is

Distinguishing Amazon's carrier service from selling on the Amazon marketplace.

What is Amazon Shipping?

Amazon Shipping is Amazon's own carrier and delivery service, letting businesses buy shipping labels and use Amazon's logistics network to deliver packages — conceptually similar to using UPS or FedEx, but through Amazon's own infrastructure.

Is Amazon Shipping the same as selling on Amazon?

No — selling on Amazon (Seller Central, Vendor Central, Amazon Business) is about listing and selling products on Amazon's marketplace. Amazon Shipping is a carrier service you can use to fulfill orders from any sales channel, not just Amazon itself.

How do I get an Amazon Shipping account?

Amazon Shipping account setup and eligibility are handled directly through Amazon's own logistics platform; requirements and available service areas are set by Amazon and can vary, so confirm current details directly with Amazon.

What is the InfiPlex Amazon Shipping integration?

The InfiPlex Amazon Shipping integration connects your Amazon Shipping account to the InfiPlex Inventory & Order Management System. InfiPlex aggregates orders from every sales channel you run, sends orders needing labels to your Amazon Shipping account, and pushes the resulting tracking back to the originating marketplace or storefront.

How it works

How the InfiPlex Amazon Shipping integration works

Amazon Shipping is worth distinguishing clearly from selling on Amazon's marketplace: it's a carrier service, similar in concept to UPS or FedEx, that any business can use to ship packages through Amazon's delivery network. InfiPlex aggregates orders from every sales channel into one queue, sends orders needing labels to your Amazon Shipping account, and posts the resulting tracking number back out to whichever channel the order came from.

Flow diagram: Amazon Shipping sends new orders to the InfiPlex Order Management System about every 15 minutes. InfiPlex pushes tracking numbers and real-time inventory back to Amazon Shipping, and routes orders to Your Sales Channels, Your Warehouses, Other Carriers for fulfillment.

The InfiPlex Amazon Shipping sync rail: orders needing labels flow from the OMS to your Amazon Shipping account, Amazon returns rates and the label through its delivery network, and InfiPlex pushes tracking out to whichever sales channel the order came from — while inventory stays reconciled across every connected channel in one pool.
