Amazon authorization is the process of securely connecting your Amazon Seller Central account to a third-party application, such as AccelerList. This connection allows the application to access specific seller data and perform approved actions on your behalf without requiring your Amazon password.
Authorization is required before most Amazon-related features can function properly, including inventory imports, product lookups, shipment creation, and listing management.
🔐 Why Is Amazon Authorization Required?
Amazon uses authorization to ensure that only approved applications can access your seller account data.
When you authorize an application, Amazon provides secure access tokens that allow the application to communicate with Amazon's systems while keeping your login credentials private.
📦 What Can AccelerList Access After Authorization?
Once authorized, AccelerList may be able to:
Import your inventory
Look up products using ASINs, UPCs, or ISBNs
Create and manage FBA shipments
Sync listing quantities
Retrieve order information
Update product listings
Access marketplace settings and data
The level of access depends on the permissions granted during authorization.
🔒 Is My Amazon Password Shared?
No.
During the authorization process, you log in directly through Amazon. AccelerList never sees or stores your Amazon password.
Instead, Amazon issues secure authorization tokens that allow the connection to function safely.
⚠️ What Happens If Authorization Expires?
If your Amazon authorization expires, is revoked, or becomes invalid, you may experience issues such as:
Inventory not syncing
Product lookups failing
Unable to create shipments
Listing updates not processing
Marketplace data not loading
In these situations, reauthorizing your Amazon account may restore the connection.
🔄 How Do I Reauthorize Amazon?
If prompted to reauthorize:
Log in to your AccelerList account.
Navigate to Settings → Connections.
Locate your Amazon connection.
Click Reconnect or Reauthorize.
Complete the authorization process through Amazon.
Once completed, AccelerList should regain access to the approved Amazon data and services.
💡 Best Practices
To maintain a healthy Amazon connection:
Keep your Amazon account in good standing.
Reauthorize promptly if requested.
Review Amazon permission requests carefully.
Verify your marketplace connections after major account changes.
✅ Summary
Amazon authorization is the secure process that allows AccelerList to communicate with your Amazon Seller Central account. It enables features such as inventory syncing, product lookups, listing management, and shipment creation while keeping your Amazon login credentials secure.
