Overview

This node interacts with the Amazon Selling Partner API to confirm shipment details for orders. It is useful for sellers who need to update Amazon with shipment confirmation, including carrier information, tracking numbers, and shipped items. For example, after shipping an order, a seller can use this node to confirm the shipment to Amazon, ensuring accurate tracking and order status updates.

Use Case Examples

  1. Confirm shipment for an order by providing the Amazon order ID, marketplace ID, carrier code, tracking number, ship date, and details of the items shipped.
  2. Update shipment status with accurate tracking information to keep customers informed.
