Frequently asked questions
How do I get started integrating with this feature?
What types of notifications are not allowed?
The following notification categories are not permitted:
1. Notifications that explicitly mention the name of a non-Amazon sales channel. Providing details or a summary of a non-Amazon channel is acceptable, as long as the channel name is not explicitly mentioned.
2. Notifications that are too granular in nature and could result in an excessive number of notifications being displayed to the Selling Partner. Summarized content is preferred over highly detailed, granular notifications.
3. Promotional notifications that invite the Selling Partner to try or adopt new features or products that would require additional cost or fees from the seller.
4. Promotional notifications that invite the Selling Partner to try new products or features that are not part of what they have already signed up for or is not directly relevant to their current business needs.
