NAME

Amazon::MWS - Perl interface to Amazon Marketplace Web Services

VERSION

0.112

DESCRIPTION

See Amazon::MWS::Client

MWS in practice

Product price

Every product uploaded needs a price of 0.01 or higher, otherwise you get the following error:

0.00 price (standard or sales) will not be accepted.
Please ensure that every SKU in your feed has a price at least equal to or greater than 0.01

Shipping costs

You need to configure the shipping costs in Amazon Seller Central, you can't pass them through MWS:

https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/shipping/dispatch.html

Stuck uploads

There is no guarantee that Amazon finishes your uploads at all. We had uploads stuck for at least a week.

Multiple marketplaces

You can use this module and the uploader for multiple Amazon marketplaces. Please make sure that you disable Amazon's synchronisation between marketplaces.

For marketplaces with a different currency you need to convert your price first.

The list of marketplaces can be found at:

http://docs.developer.amazonservices.com/en_US/dev_guide/DG_Endpoints.html

Throttling and Quota

With Amazon MWS you have to deal with Amazon throttling your uploads and imposing quotas.

Possible reasons:

Upload too often
Stuck uploads
Orders with orderlines
