Use the Shipping Confirmation template to create a shipping confirmation file. Amazon uses the information you provide to update a customer’s account information with your fulfillment data.
Download the Shipping Confirmation template.
After you receive an order notification and ship the order, you must confirm shipment. You can use the Shipping Confirmation template to upload confirmation information for multiple orders in a single file. This template includes validation macros that will help you successfully complete the template. You can choose whether to turn these macros on or off. We suggest that you keep them on until you learn how to use the template.
To prepare your Shipping Confirmation file:
Example: New data in the tracking-number field will overwrite the existing data in tracking-number.
Example: Leave the tracking-number blank so the previously uploaded data will remain and not be overwritten or nullified).
Example: Enter "NULL" into the tracking-field or leave it blank to delete and nullify the previously uploaded data.
Once you have finished adding shipping information, upload your file on the Upload Order Related Files page.
