Follow the directions below to set up an Amazon Seller Central shopping cart into which you can import web orders. If you use WASH, see the directions for WASH users below.
Non-WASH Users:
Make sure the AmazonUseWASHSystem parameter (in the Amazon group) is set to False (which is the default) before you begin setting up your shopping cart.
(Optional) Set AmazonPaymentMethod (in the Amazon group) to either Generic 1 or Generic 2 as the default payment method for Amazon orders (since the orders are imported paid in full without payment information). Note: You can create your own payment method to report Amazon payments to your accounting application as Amazon payments and not generic payments. See Payment Methods for details.
(Optional) Set AmazonCopyAddress (in the Amazon group) to True to copy the Ship To address to the Bill To address. Note: Amazon does not provide the billing address for any orders.
