Amazon integration that syncs stock, listings and orders
Connect Amazon and everywhere else you sell reads from the same number. Sell on Amazon and the others drop to match. Sell somewhere else and Amazon drops to match. You keep one count instead of five.
No credit card · connected in about two minutes · nothing on Amazon changes until you say so
AmazonMarketplace · sells and hands its orders out- We always send, and hear back for items you ship
- We can create and update
- Orders out only, no tracking back
- The moment it happens
What a Amazon integration actually moves
One row per job. Where Amazon does not allow something, the row says so plainly, with no tick that carries fine print.
| The job | Does it? | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| Stock we send out | Yes | We set the exact number on Amazon instead of nudging it up and down, which is what keeps two tools from overwriting each other. |
| Stock we read in | For items you ship yourself | We send stock to Amazon whatever the fulfilment method, but we only hear about Amazon-side changes for the items you ship yourself. Anything held and shipped by Amazon is left alone deliberately, because Amazon owns that count. |
| Listings | Create and update | We can put a product on Amazon with its photos, options, description and category, then keep that listing in step with your other shops afterwards. |
| Prices | Sent | Selling price and the was-price both go across. You pick the direction, and a rule can add a margin so Amazon is not stuck at another shop’s price. |
| Orders coming in | Yes | Amazon orders land in one list with the customer, the address, the shipping and the right product attached. An order still awaiting payment waits until it is paid. |
| Orders going out | Not possible | Amazon hands orders out but cannot take one in, because no app is allowed to create orders on it. You pick one of the six that can as the place you pack from. |
| Tracking going back | Not accepted | Amazon has no field for us to write a tracking number into. It is one of four integrations that will not accept one, so the shipping detail stays in QuickSync and in whichever shop the order came from. |
| How fast we update it | A second or two | We send a new number to Amazon the moment we have one, and it lands a second or two later because Amazon caps how often anyone can send it changes. Writing is still the quick half of the job. |
| How fast it tells us | The moment it happens | Amazon pushes us a message as it happens instead of making us check on a timer. Three of the eleven only allow the timer, which is why they run a little behind. |
How the Amazon connection is made
About two minutes, no developer, and nothing to copy or paste anywhere.
What you click
You authorise QuickSync in Seller Central for the marketplaces you sell in.
What we ask for
Your products and stock, and your orders. Payment card details are never part of it. We ask for what the jobs in the table above need and nothing beyond that.
How you disconnect
From QuickSync’s settings, or from Amazon’s own screen for the apps it is connected to. Either side is enough on its own. Your Amazon products, stock and orders stay exactly where they are.
What your Amazon products look like once connected
Products, Orders and Settings is the whole of it. There is no dashboard to learn.
Every product keeps one number of its own, and each shop it is connected to shows what that shop currently says. When the two disagree you can see it on the same row, along with when it was last put right.
Orders from Amazon arrive in the same list as orders from everywhere else, already matched to the right product.
- One count per product, with each shop’s number beside it
- Anything we cannot match goes to a short review list, and we never guess
- Safety stock per shop, so the last one or two are never exposed everywhere at once

Amazon limits: know them before you connect
Every sync tool has constraints. These are the ones that apply here.
Amazon tells us as it happens, up to a point
There is no polling gap on this one: Amazon pushes us a message the moment an order lands, and the moment a count moves on the items you ship yourself. Stock that Amazon holds and ships keeps its own count, which is theirs to own.
Orders come out, not in
Amazon will not let anything create an order on it, so it cannot be the shop that fills a sale taken somewhere else. Six of the eleven integrations can, and you pick one of those as the place you pack from. Your Amazon orders still land in the same list.
No tracking number back to Amazon
Amazon has no way for us to send a tracking number back.
Stock Amazon holds is left alone
We always send your count to Amazon, but we only take changes back for items you ship yourself. Anything Amazon stores and ships keeps its own count, which is Amazon’s to own.
Nothing publishes itself
Copying a listing onto Amazon always waits for you to look at it. Stock is the only thing that moves on its own, and only once you have turned that direction on.
Connecting Amazon takes about ten minutes end to end
Most of it is you reviewing the product matching, not waiting on us. A Amazon integration only starts changing things when you tell it to.
Connect Amazon
You authorise QuickSync in Seller Central for the marketplaces you sell in.
Connect the other shop
The same again for wherever else you sell. Amazon on its own has nothing to stay in step with, so you need at least two connected before anything happens.
Let it match your products
We line the catalogues up by SKU first, then by title, and hand you a short list of whatever we could not match. You decide what happens to those.
Watch, then switch it on
Leave it watching for a few days and check the numbers agree. When you are happy, let it start making changes, one shop and one direction at a time if you prefer.
Connect Amazon with
Each combination has its own guide, because no two channels allow exactly the same things.
Or read about another shop on its own
Every integration has a page covering what it can and cannot do.
Amazon is inside the smallest plan
Order volume never changes your bill. Your catalogue size picks the plan, and your plan price covers two connected shops with every shop after that adding it again.
Lite
$19/mo for two shops1,000 items and up to eight connected integrations, with stock kept in step. Amazon counts as one of the eight, so there is room for seven more.
Pro
$29/mo for two shops2,500 items and up to eight connected integrations, and the point at which listings and orders start syncing as well as stock. Most sellers running a second shop end up here.
Ultra at $69 and Ultra+ at $99 add larger catalogues, price rules and setup help. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial and no card.
Questions Amazon sellers ask
How quickly does QuickSync know about a Amazon sale?
Straight away. Amazon tells us the moment an order is placed, so we are never sitting on a timer waiting to check, and the other shops you sell in are corrected inside a second or two. Stock changes come back to us only for the items you ship yourself. Anything Amazon holds and ships keeps its own count. If Amazon has an outage, we hold the change and retry until it goes through.
What does QuickSync get access to on Amazon?
Your products and stock, and your orders, and nothing beyond what the jobs in the table above need. Payment card details are never part of what we receive. You can withdraw the access from the Amazon side whenever you like, and we stop.
Will connecting Amazon change my listings?
No. Nothing on Amazon is edited, published or unpublished until you turn a direction on, and copying a listing onto Amazon always waits for you to look at it first. Most sellers leave it watching for a few days and check the numbers agree before letting it make any changes.
Can orders from my other shops be sent into Amazon?
No. Amazon does not allow any app to create orders on it, and it hands its orders out only. Six of the eleven integrations can be the shop that fills an order taken somewhere else, so you pick one of those as your packing bench. Your Amazon orders still land in the same list.
Does the tracking number go back to Amazon?
No. Amazon has no field for us to write one into. Amazon, Square, Clover and QuickBooks are the four integrations that will not accept a tracking number, so on those you still add it on the shop’s own screen. Six of the remaining seven send it back on their own. Lightspeed marks the order shipped but keeps no number against it.
Which plan do I need for a Amazon integration?
Lite covers Amazon, at $19 a month for two shops with every shop after that adding another $19, and 1,000 items with stock kept in step. Pro at $29 adds listings and orders and 2,500 items. Eight shops is the limit on every plan. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial and no card.
Connect Amazon and watch one shop correct the other
