Configuration Guide
Step 1 — SP-API Credentials
In the module settings panel enter:
| Field | Where to find it |
|---|---|
| Client ID | Seller Central → Apps & Services → Develop Apps → your app |
| Client Secret | Same app screen as above |
| Refresh Token | Generated during OAuth authorization — see our signup guide |
| Seller ID | Seller Central → Account Info → Merchant Token |
| Marketplace ID | CA: A2EUQ1WTGCTBG2 | US: ATVPDKIKX0DER |
Step 2 — Shipping Services
Select which Amazon Shipping services to offer at checkout. Available services depend on your account level and origin address:
- Amazon Shipping Ground
- Amazon Shipping Standard
- Amazon Shipping Priority
- Amazon Shipping Overnight
Step 3 — Rate Rules (optional)
Apply a percentage or flat-dollar markup/discount to the Amazon rates before displaying them to customers. For example, set +10% to recover handling costs.
Step 4 — Ship-From Address
Confirm the ship-from address matches the address registered in your Amazon Shipping account. Mismatches can cause rate retrieval failures.
Step 5 — Test Mode
The module includes a sandbox/test mode. Enable it, complete a test checkout, then disable before going live. SP-API sandbox credentials are separate from live credentials — see Amazon’s developer documentation.
User Guide
Getting Rates at Checkout
Once configured, Amazon Shipping rates appear automatically alongside your other shipping methods at checkout. No customer action is required.
Purchasing a Shipping Label
- Open the order in your admin panel.
- Locate the Amazon Shipping meta box / tab.
- Select the service level, confirm package dimensions and weight.
- Click Purchase Label. The label PDF downloads immediately and the tracking number is written to the order.
Printing the Label
Print the downloaded PDF on a standard 4×6 thermal label printer or on letter-size paper. Affix the label to the outside of the package.
Tracking
The module writes the tracking number to the order automatically. If your theme or order notification emails display tracking numbers, they will appear there. You can also find tracking in the order admin meta box.
Returns
To generate a return label, open the order, navigate to the Amazon Shipping meta box, and click Create Return Label. The label is emailed directly to the customer and saved against the order.
Troubleshooting
- No rates at checkout — check your SP-API credentials, confirm Amazon Shipping is enabled on your seller account, and verify the ship-from address matches Amazon’s records.
- Label purchase fails — ensure the package dimensions and weight are within Amazon Shipping’s accepted limits for the selected service.
- Sandbox rates are $0 — expected behaviour in sandbox mode. Switch to live credentials for real rates.
