Manage Amazon orders
You can view your Amazon order information, as received from Amazon, in the Recent Orders section of the store dashboard or on the Amazon orders page (also called the All Orders view).
How you manage your Amazon orders depends on whether the order import is enabled or disabled in your Order Settings.
With order import enabled
After store integration, the Import Amazon Orders setting is Enabled by default. With this setting, corresponding Commerce orders are created for your Amazon orders and can be managed in the Commerce Orders workflow.
Imported Amazon orders are managed in the Commerce Orders workflow, just like your other Commerce stores. Click the Amazon order number in the Order Number column to open the order in the Commerce order process. See View Amazon Orders.
Order import process
When an order is placed on Amazon and order import is enabled, the following process begins.
- Amazon sets the order status to
Pending. - Order information is sent to Commerce.
- Order is added to Amazon orders table with a
Pendingstatus.
Unshipped.- The status change is sent to Commerce.
- In the Amazon orders table, the order status changes to
Unshipped. - In the Commerce orders workflow, a corresponding Commerce order is created with a
Processingstatus.

Completein the Commerce orders workflow.
Order creation blockers
There are a few scenarios that prevent the creation of the corresponding Commerce order. Commerce orders are not created for orders that are received when any of the following issues occur.
When orders cannot be imported, a system message similar to the following appears at the top of the screen:
Your Amazon store(s) has orders that cannot be imported into Commerce. See Recent Orders in the store dashboard(s): <store name>
When the issue is resolved, the Commerce order is created on the next sync.
With order import disabled
If you do not want to import and manage your Amazon orders in Commerce, you can change the Import Amazon Orders setting to Disabled. This setting means that when new orders are received from Amazon, corresponding Commerce orders are not created.
When disabled, order information received from Amazon appears in the Recent Orders section of the store dashboard and in the All Orders view. This order information is view-only, and you must manage these orders in Amazon Seller Central. To open the order details in Amazon Seller Central, click the Amazon order number in the Order Number column.
