Amazon Prime Shipping Reference Fields, Label Printing

0

I would like to request that you add the ability to include reference fields to shipments both for getting onto UPS for shipment tracking but also for the labels.

 

See Amazon API change from October announcing ability to include reference fields.

Subject: Shipping Label customization on Merchant Fulfillment API

 

Dear Seller,

 

We have launched new customization options for Seller Fulfilled Prime shipping labels through the Merchant Fulfillment API. These options will enable you to print high quality labels directly onto thermal printers and add reference fields to support in your fulfillment operations:

 

  1. Label formats: You can now choose ZPL label format (203 dpi resolution)
  2. Reference Text/ID on ZPL label: On a label with ZPL format, you have the option of printing up to two references: Amazon order ID and Custom reference.

 

The updated API documentation to integrate these changes along with client libraries can be found on developer.amazonservices.com. We plan to launch support for these options through the Buy Shipping UI later in 2018. These options are available for UPS, USPS, and FedEx.

Amazon Seller Fulfilled Prime team

Hello David,

Thank you very much for your post! We greatly appreciate your feedback.

I’ve also documented your request for Custom Reference information on labels, and it will be under consideration for prioritization. 

We will keep an eye out for this post for additional feedback and comments. If we hear this request from anyone else, we will ask them to comment or vote for this post.
