I'm currently looking into using Amazon Marketplace Web Services (MWS, https://developer.amazonservices.com/) as e-commerce solution for a client's website.
We will be putting this client's products on Amazon, the questions I have about MWS I have are as follows:
Is it possible to pull products from an Amazon Seller Account onto a non-Amazon seller website using MWS?
Is it possible to submit orders for those products on the non-Amazon seller website and have Amazon do all the payment processing and shipping?
Following the previous question, would it be possible to receive shipping updates for products customers order through this non-Amazon seller website?
I have been reading the MWS documentation and overview pages and it seems like MWS might be able to do everything I need, I just thought it would be nice to receive verification from someone who has worked with MWS before.
Thanks in advance.
Is it possible to pull products from an Amazon Seller Account onto a non-Amazon seller website using MWS?
Yes. You can use MWS to "download" data from Amazon. I haven't done that myself (all integrations I've done are the other way around), but it seems, that there may be considerable lag if you do this through the reporting API.
Is it possible to submit orders for those products on the non-Amazon seller website and have Amazon do all the payment processing and shipping?
Yes. For payment processing, look at Amazon's payment solutions which are not part of MWS. Shipping can be done through MWS using the FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) calls, such as CreateFulfillmentOrder.
Following the previous question, would it be possible to receive shipping updates for products customers order through this non-Amazon seller website?
Yes. You can get at least some shipping and tracking information for FBA shipments from Amazon, see GetPackageTrackingDetails. I'm not sure if the included tracking number will always be valid - and this may very well depend on your country / region / other stuff. Depending on the level of detail you require, you might have to integrate with that shipping service's API as well.

I am trying to download the 'Detail Page Sales and Traffic' and 'Detail Page Sales and Traffic By Child Item' automatically. Because manual pulling takes extra effort to complete this job. Also scraping option is not possible.So if there is any way to pull using MWS Api.
As far as I can tell, this report (and many others) are not available via the MWS API. The only reports available via MWS are the ones listed here:

I am trying to get Amazon Seller Access keys from User Permissions page and it says
"Developer Central
Are you a software developer building applications using MWS?
If you need MWS API Access Keys because you are coding software applications for your own selling account or to be utilized by other sellers, you can provide information about your business and apply for access here. We will thoroughly review your submitted information. This process may take up to 30 days. ".
in Past i used to see MWS access keys (access key and secret key) for a Seller but this is my 3rd time i am not able to see keys so my question is: Amazon changed their policy or some one can help me how we can get MWS access API Keys for a Amazon FBA Seller Account ?
Basically, every seller with a pro account have MWS but if you wish to develop third-party system and access Amazon API, you will need to ask for Developer MWS Credentials.
After answering some questions about your need to use this MWS for development purpose, they with review and let you know (it takes about 30 days to get answer)
I am making an application that accesses the orders programmatically using Amazon MWS API. I want to get the invoice and label for order but I don't know which API is providing this facility, as I checked Merchant Fulfillment API but that is available only in the US,UK, and Germany and I am confused that is the API I am looking for.
Please suggest me which API is suited for this and also what is the difference between Inbound and outbound shipment API provided by Amazon MWS.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks!
For those who are Amazon ninja, I am wondering if there is the API to retrieve the number of stocks available for the items that are listed in Amazon? I know that Amazon provides that service for those who have registered for Amazon's FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon), but that's not what I'm looking for. I would like to get the inventory levels of the products using non-FBA Amazon APIs. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
you can use _GET_MERCHANT_LISTINGS_DATA_ report for non-FBA products and _GET_AFN_INVENTORY_DATA_ report for FBA product's Inventory
I am sorry but you can not access this information with out access to MWS api services.
