Amazon Amazon-label-only vendor | Simply explained

Amazon-label-only vendor

An Amazon-label-only vendor is one that exclusively uses shipping labels provided by Amazon to fulfill all Direct Fulfillment orders. These vendors do not receive detailed customer data, such as name, address, and phone number, for particular shipments through Vendor Central or EDI/API feeds. Instead, essential customer information continues to be available on Amazon-provided shipping labels. This designation impacts how the vendor interacts with the shipment process and data availability.

  • Data Privacy Change: Starting from specific dates in 2023, certain customer data fields in bulk downloads, order details, EDI, and API messages will be blank or replaced with placeholders for these vendors.
  • Fulfillment Process: The shipping process remains unchanged, and the vendors still rely on Amazon’s infrastructure for logistics and labeling.
  • Action Required: Vendors need to update their applications to accommodate the changes in data handling and avoid disruptions in services.
