November 2023 SP-API Release Announcement

November 8th, 2023 by AliH_Amazon

Introducing the Supply Sources API v2020-07-01

You can use the new Supply Sources API to configure and update information on seller supply sources, such as stores and warehouses. You can use the Supply Sources API to build applications that use location-level fulfillment capabilities and provide information about supply sources and location level inventory.

New Multi-Location Inventory Integration guide

Multi Location inventory (MLI) allows multi location sellers to provide Amazon with location-level data on their inventory and actual fulfillment capabilities. This location-level data is paired with the Seller’s actual ship-from location behavior and fed into the promise systems to generate precise Customer promises. These speed and reliability improvements make offers more attractive to Customers and drive MFN sales, while the lower cost to serve leads to more competitive ASPs and/or higher Seller profits. The new Multi-Location Inventory Integration guide advises Selling Partners on the APIs and operations that are mandatory for integration.

Seller Central is now available in the South Africa Marketplace (ZA)

On October 17th, 2023, Seller Central launched support for the South Africa Marketplace (ZA). For more information, refer to the Seller Central URLs, SP-API Endpoints, and Marketplace IDs.

Notification of Product Type (PT) availability for the Listings API

As of October 19, 2023, 1,712 product types supported by XML and flat-file feeds are now available to Sellers on Listings API WW (excluding IN) for Hardlines, Softlines, and Consumables. All remaining product types will be available on the Listings API in early 2024.

  • ASIN_NOT_ELIGIBLE is now a value for resultStatus. This error code is returned if an ASIN is ineligible for an FOEP value.

Update to Product Type Definitions API v2020-09-01
