What you can automate

What can the Amazon Seller Central Make integration do for you?

The Amazon Seller Central Make integration links your seller account to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario: the automation itself, a chain of modules that each do one job. Make can spot new or updated orders, read your catalog and pricing, and pull reports, then pass that data to the rest of your tools.

Orders that land in your other tools. Watch New Orders picks up each fresh sale, and List Order Lines tells you which products were in it, so your stock sheet or shipping tool learns about the order without anyone copying it.

A pricing check you do not run by hand. Search Competitive Pricing looks up competitive prices by SKU or ASIN, and Get an Item Offer returns the lowest offers for an item. Put them after a trigger and a store manager gets the numbers in one place.

Reports that fetch themselves. Create a Report asks Amazon for a report and waits until it is ready, then Download a Report Document gets the file so you can file it or share it.

One limit to know up front: Make has no access to Amazon personal data (PII), so restricted reports come back with a 403 error. Both triggers are scheduled, not instant. If you also weigh n8n, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the two tools side by side, and the Make review covers the editor itself. Plans are explained on Make pricing.

Connect

How do you connect Amazon Seller Central to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a module and open the connection

    In your scenario, add any Amazon Seller Central module and click Create a connection. A connection is your seller account linked to Make once, then reused by every Amazon module. You can give it a label in Connection name.

  2. 02

    Pick your marketplace

    Choose the Marketplace Region and the Marketplace Country where your store sells. If you sell in several countries, a separate connection per country keeps things easy to tell apart.

  3. 03

    Save and approve access

    Click Save. If Amazon asks, log in to your seller account and confirm that Make may access it. The connection then shows up in the list, ready for the next module you add.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Amazon Seller Central

GoalWhen a new order arrives in Amazon Seller Central, Make reads every line of that order so you can send the items wherever you need them.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the big + to place the first module. Search for Amazon Seller Central in the list of apps.

  2. 02

    Add Watch New Orders

    Pick Watch New Orders and click Create a connection (or pick the one you already made). Fill the fields the module shows; Make lists what it can read from your account.

  3. 03

    Add List Order Lines

    Click the + on the right of the trigger and choose List Order Lines. Map the order that the first module found so Make knows which one to open.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once. Each bundle, meaning one item passed between modules (here one order, then one line), appears in a bubble above the module so you can check what came through.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Click the clock on the first module to set the schedule, every 15 minutes by default, then switch the scenario on. Each module run on one bundle counts as one operation on your plan.

Triggers

What starts an Amazon Seller Central scenario

2 modules start a scenario when something happens in Amazon Seller Central. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by Amazon Seller Central as soon as it happens.

Amazon Seller Central1Watch New Orders

Watch New Orders

Scheduled trigger

In Make“Triggers when a new order is created.”

Watch New Orders hands your scenario each order created since the last check, so every sale can kick off the next step: a row in a sheet, a message to the warehouse, a customer note in your CRM.

How it fires
scheduled. Make checks your Amazon account on the scenario's schedule, so orders arrive in small batches, not the second they are placed.
When to use it
pick it when only brand new sales matter to you, like pushing each fresh order to a fulfillment or bookkeeping tool.
Watch out
it ignores changes to existing orders; for shipped or cancelled orders, use Watch Orders Updates.
Amazon Seller Central2Watch Orders Updates

Watch Orders Updates

Scheduled trigger

In Make“Triggers when an existing order is updated.”

Watch Orders Updates brings you the orders that changed since the last run, which lets your scenario follow an order through its life instead of only seeing its birth.

How it fires
scheduled. Make asks Amazon for changes on the scenario's schedule, so an update shows up at the next check, not instantly.
When to use it
choose it to keep a customer file or support tool in step with Amazon when an order moves on, for example when its status changes.
Watch out
it only covers orders that already exist; to catch brand new sales, add a scenario that starts with Watch New Orders.
Modules

What each Amazon Seller Central module does

Amazon Seller Central gives you 12 modules in 6 groups. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Catalog

2 modules
Amazon Seller Central1

Search Catalog Items

Search

In Make“Returns a filtered list of catalog items.”

Search Catalog Items returns a filtered list of products from the Amazon catalog, each one as a separate bundle you can pass down the scenario.

When to use it
when you need several products at once, for instance to refresh a product sheet from what Amazon holds.
Watch out
a search can return zero, one or many items, so the modules after it run once per item and use operations accordingly.
Amazon Seller Central2

Get a Catalog Item

Action

In Make“Retrieves a specific catalog item.”

Get a Catalog Item fetches the details of one catalog product you already know, which is handy when an order or a list points to a specific item.

When to use it
right after a trigger or a search that gave you the item, to add its catalog data to the flow.
Watch out
it reads one item only; to browse many products, start with Search Catalog Items instead.

Product Pricing

3 modules
Amazon Seller Central3

Search Products Pricing

Search

In Make“Returns pricing information for an offer.”

Search Products Pricing returns the pricing information of an offer, so the price of a listing can reach a sheet or a report without copying it.

When to use it
when you want a view of your own prices, for example before a promotion or when a new product goes live.
Watch out
it looks at one offer's pricing; to compare with the market by SKU or ASIN, Search Competitive Pricing is the right module.
Amazon Seller Central4

Search Competitive Pricing

Search

In Make“Returns the competitive pricing based on SKU or ASIN.”

Search Competitive Pricing looks up the competitive price of a product from its SKU or ASIN, giving you the market picture next to your own listing.

When to use it
when a pricing manager wants rival prices gathered after an order or a catalog update, without opening each product page.
Watch out
it can return several results; keep in mind that each result becomes its own bundle and costs operations downstream.
Amazon Seller Central5

Get an Item Offer

Action

In Make“Returns the lowest priced offers for an item.”

Get an Item Offer returns the lowest priced offers for one item, so you learn at once how low the cheapest sellers go on a product you carry.

When to use it
when you watch a single product closely, for example the one that just sold, and want its cheapest offers in the flow.
Watch out
it works on one item per run; pair it with a search to cover a list of products.

Orders

3 modules
Amazon Seller Central6

Search Orders

Search

In Make“Returns a filtered list of orders.”

Search Orders pulls a filtered list of orders from your seller account, handy to go back over sales that happened before your scenario was switched on.

When to use it
to catch up on past orders or to rebuild a list after a gap, rather than waiting for the triggers.
Watch out
every order found becomes a bundle, and each module after it spends one operation per order.
Amazon Seller Central7

Get an Order

Action

In Make“Retrieves information about a specific order.”

Get an Order reads the full information of one specific order, which gives your scenario fresh details when you only hold its reference.

When to use it
after an update trigger or a message that names an order, to check where it stands before acting.
Watch out
the products inside the order are not the point here; for them, add List Order Lines.
Amazon Seller Central8

List Order Lines

Search

In Make“Lists all lines of a specific order.”

List Order Lines lists every line of a given order, meaning each product the buyer took, so you can handle items one by one.

When to use it
after Watch New Orders, to update stock per product or send each item to your shipping tool.
Watch out
an order with several products returns several bundles; group them with an aggregator (the module that merges bundles) if the next tool expects one record.

Reports

2 modules

Make does not have access to Amazon Personally Identifiable Information (PII). If you try to get or create a restricted report, you will receive the following error: [403] Access to the resource forbidden (Unauthorized). For more information regarding PII and restricted report types, read this article.

Amazon Seller Central9

Get a Report

Action

In Make“Retrieves a report info.”

Get a Report retrieves the information about a report that already exists in your account, so the next module can work from that report without you opening Seller Central.

When to use it
when a report was requested elsewhere and you want to pick it up in Make.
Watch out
restricted reports that hold personal data answer with a 403 error, because Make has no access to Amazon PII.
Amazon Seller Central10

Create a Report

Action

In Make“Creates a report and returns its information when ready.”

Create a Report asks Amazon to build a report and hands back its information once it is ready, which saves you from checking the dashboard yourself.

When to use it
when an event in your business calls for fresh figures, such as a batch of new orders to reconcile.
Watch out
report types restricted for personal data fail with a 403 error; pick a type Amazon allows without PII.

Documents

1 module
Amazon Seller Central11

Download a Report Document

Action

In Make“Downloads a report document.”

Download a Report Document gets the actual file behind a report, so you can store it in a drive, attach it to an email or feed it to another tool.

When to use it
right after Create a Report or Get a Report, once you have the report details.
Watch out
on the Free plan Make handles files up to 5 MB, so a large report may need a paid plan.

Other

1 module
Amazon Seller Central12

Make an API call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”

Make an API call lets you reach any endpoint of the Amazon Seller Central API with the connection you already set up, for the cases no listed module covers.

When to use it
when you need a request the other modules do not offer and you are comfortable reading API docs.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, so check the API docs first and test with Run once before switching the scenario on.

FAQ

Amazon Seller Central and Make: common questions

01Is the Amazon Seller Central Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side. Amazon Seller Central is a standard app, so it works on the Free plan. That plan gives you 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution per run, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams, Enterprise) lower the interval to 1 minute and remove the cap on active scenarios. Usage is counted in operations per month. Your Amazon seller account is a separate matter, billed by Amazon under its own selling plans.
02What do you need to connect Amazon Seller Central to Make?
You need an Amazon Seller Central account and a Make account. In the scenario editor you add an Amazon module, click Create a connection, then choose the Marketplace Region and Marketplace Country of your store and click Save. If Amazon asks, you log in and confirm access. Sellers with their own app credentials can enter them under Show advanced settings, along with the Sandbox and Draft options. Nothing else is required to start testing.
03Does the Amazon Seller Central trigger work in real time?
No. Both Watch New Orders and Watch Orders Updates are scheduled triggers. Make checks your account at each scheduled run of the scenario, every 15 minutes by default, and then passes along everything that changed since the last check. On a paid plan you can shorten the interval to 1 minute, which brings new orders in sooner. For most order workflows this delay is fine, but a process that must react the very second an order is placed will need another approach.
04What if an Amazon Seller Central module is missing in Make?
It depends on what you need. The app includes Make an API call, which reaches any endpoint of the Amazon API through the connection you already have, so a missing action can usually be built by hand. One limit cannot be worked around this way: Make has no access to Amazon personal data, and restricted reports return a 403 error. If a scenario keeps failing, the Make troubleshooting guide on this site walks through the usual causes.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Amazon Seller Central?
It depends on the tool your team already knows. Make offers 14 ready modules for this app, from the two order triggers to reports and pricing, plus Make an API call for the rest, all set up in a visual editor. The same app often has an n8n node too. The real question is where the rest of your automations already live, since keeping one tool is simpler to maintain. The n8n vs Make comparison linked above sets out the differences in detail.
