❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I connect all my global Amazon stores at the same time?
No. Because Amazon's API requires different endpoints for different areas of the world, each connection in Optiply can only link to one region. If you sell in both Europe and North America, you will need to complete this setup process twice to create two separate integrations.
How do I know if my connection is actually working?
After successfully integrating (or disconnecting) Amazon, you can verify the status of the integration by navigating to the Jobs tab within your Amazon integration settings. If the sync job shows as completed, your data is flowing smoothly!
