This toggle is for 3PLs with multiple clients. The Use Channel as Seller Display Name toggle on the Amazon Shipping connection allows you to send the name of the Order Channel as the Seller Display Name to Amazon when requesting a label. If this is enabled you must create a New Order Channel with the Name of the channel being the name of the 3PL Client, the Badge can be the original Order Channel logo (Shopify, eBay, etc.) to help when viewing orders on Orders Overview. Once this has been made, the new order channel must be selected as the Channel for any Order Integrations they have that get shipped through Amazon Shipping.

Parcel Dimensions - Continued
Rework item dimensions can be used as parcel dimensions for Amazon Shipping Direct. To enable this, you must ensure that the rework item is set to Shipping Box - TRUE.
Amazon Shipping Direct will use the following logic when applying parcel dimensions:
If a scanned rework item is marked as a shipping box, its associated dimensions will be used.
If not, Mintsoft will use the dimensions specified for the courier service code in Extra Code 6.
If those are unavailable, the largest product dimensions (if set) will be used.
If none of the above apply, a default size will be used.
Note: Rework dimensions will override any other dimensions that have been set.
To set dimensions for Amazon Shipping Direct courier services using the Extra Code 6 method, follow the steps below:
Click Shipping Management then select Extras.
Click Courier Service Codes.
Search for one of the Amazon Shipping V2 services.
Then, click Edit.
Enter the Dimensions in Extra Code 6 in the following format W;H;L (Example: 10;10;10).
Finally, click Update.
Repeat Steps 3-6 for additional services.
