Amazon Integrator Setup

In order to use the Venture's Amazon integration services, your system administrator must setup the AMTU merchant gateway system. This task is not difficult and is fully documented in the Venture service manual.

From the Amazon Merchant Transport Utility Guide:

The Amazon Merchant Transport Utility is designed to make posting files and receiving reports from Amazon as simple as dragging and dropping files into a directory. This application runs automatically behind the scenes, picking up any file placed into the relevant directory and sending it to Amazon and retrieving the results of the feed, as well as order reports and the like, without any need to know the mechanisms of SOAP or having to upload via Seller Central.

This tool could be used in several ways:

• Interactively, so that you can simply save completed text file templates or xml files into the outgoing directory for batch sending to Amazon.com.

• Part of a distributed application, where correctly formatted database output, or xml output from an integration application, can simply be saved into the outgoing folder, with the report folders checked periodically for new reports – saving the effort of developing the SOAP transport layer.

• Purely as a method of downloading reports from Amazon.com.


Venture uses a 100% automated AMTU method to synchronize information with Amazon throughout the day -- as often as you like, actually.
