Add multiple tracking numbers to an amazon order using MWS API - amazon-mws

Question

I am trying to upload multiple tracking numbers to an Amazon order using MWS API in PHP but don't know what would be the XML request for this. Here is the XML I am using which ends up uploading the last tracking number.
$feed = <<<EOD
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<AmazonEnvelope xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="amzn-envelope.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

Any help is appreciated!

Try the following XML. Hope it helps.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<AmazonEnvelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="amzn-envelope.xsd">

Looks like you're not properly opening your messages.
Try this:
</Message>
Add this --> <Message>
<MessageID>2</MessageID>
</Message>
Add this --> <Message>
<MessageID>3</MessageID>

I realize this is an old post, but in case anyone else is looking and can't get the XML to work, I did ultimately find the answer for myself, which was to submit the feed as a flat file instead of XML. My solution was in C# and not PHP, but basically the FeedType has to be set to "POST_FLAT_FILE_FULFILLMENT_DATA"
request.FeedType = "_POST_FLAT_FILE_FULFILLMENT_DATA_";
instead of "POST_ORDER_FULFILLMENT_DATA" and then submit a tab-delimited text file in the format defined here (from their European site, but I use this in the United States marketplace):

I tried repeatedly to get the XML to work with a few different variations and simply could not make it work. Amazon's documentation on this is terrible and doesn't describe how to format the XML for multiple tracking numbers. When I switched to the flat file feed, it worked right away. If anyone has had any luck with the XML version, I would be interested in seeing that. I had an open case with Amazon for quite a while trying to get this information from them and they kept insisting that I was asking them to write my code for me when really I just wanted guidance on how to format the XML correctly for their system. I suspect that there is no way to get two tracking numbers to work in and XML feed and that it only works with a flat file.
