What is Amazon MWS?
Amazon Market Web Services (MWS) is an integrated web API that gives access to information on Amazon Seller Central. This API grants access to various bits of information associated with a Seller Central account and updates based on activity on the same account.
Connecting to the Amazon MWS is crucial to automate processes with your Amazon Seller Central Account. Much of the manual work done on a seller account can be automated if the API and subsequent communication (or other) systems involved are configured to automate the process for you.
Amazon MWS and Babelway
Babelway created an API connection to the Amazon MWS that allows you to access Order and Inventory information within a Seller Central account. The API works by calling the MWS with certain requests of information and then returning the results via an XML format. Automation can be enhanced by transforming returning XML data into a format that can be passed to an ERP or to a drop shipper.
