Amazon buy shipping question
Just hoping someone can verify before I submit a ticket and wait longer for a quick answer. If I ask to enable Amazon Buy Shipping API, the info in Shipstation says it is only good for Seller fullfilled prime. Is that so ? So you wouldn't be able to ship our regular non-prime orders while routing purchase of shipping through Amazon?
We are elliglble for SFP, but we don't use it. Our items are too low price. However, we -were- importing all orders and shipping first class with no tracking(around 50-80 cents). Since 90% of our items are under $10 we are not required to submit tracking, only for the items over $10. We recently started printing the tracking necessary orders in Amazon Buy Shipping, then importing the rest to ship station to ship without tracking. Since Amazon change a few things for returns and liability/cost, I was hoping to import all orders and purchase Amazon shipping within ShipStation so we can take advantage of the pick/pack lists and other things (since you can't do certain things in the Amazon interface) . But from the sound of it, doesn't seem like thats allowed unless its prime. Can anybody confirm this?
Thank you in advance.

Hello Gilbert,
Thank you for your post and for joining our Community. We are so excited to have you here.
You are correct, Amazon Buy Shipping API is for Seller Fulfilled Prime orders only. It might be a good idea to reach out to Amazon directly to see if they have other suggestions or recommendations for you.
