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
- 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.
- Update shipment status with accurate tracking information to keep customers informed.
