Amazon Vendor Central (Legacy) Connection

Warning

A newer Amazon Vendor Central (Legacy) connector is now available within Zynk. We recommend using the new connector when building any new integrations with Amazon Vendor Central (Legacy).

All of the tasks in the Amazon Vendor Central (Legacy) (EDI) Connector require a connection to Amazon's upload or download SFTP location. You will need to create a connection with the type 'Amazon Vendor Central (Legacy) (EDI) Export' or 'Amazon Vendor Central (Legacy) (EDI) Import', depending on which task you are using. See Connection Manager for instructions on creating a new connection. You will see a screen like the one below regardless of which of the two connection types was selected, requesting your SFTP details:

Enter the SFTP details Amazon provided during the Basic Setup process as described below, then click 'Finish' to create the connection. Note that Amazon will provide you with a set of 4 SFTP accounts, for uploading and downloading both test and live data. You can enter the details for each one by repeating this process.
