# How does the Amazon Business module work?

> Import Amazon Business orders into ArbitrageOne, track delivery and download invoices.

## Short description

With the Amazon Business module you automatically pull your purchases from Amazon Business into ArbitrageOne. You review new orders, import them into the matching Sourcing Mastersheet, track delivery status and download invoices in bulk.

> **ℹ Note:** An **Amazon Business Account** (B2B **purchasing** on business.amazon.de) is **not the same** as an **Amazon Seller Account** (Seller Central — for **selling**). This module uses only the **Amazon Business** connection; the Seller Central connection runs separately.

## Requirements

* Connected **Amazon Business** account under API connections in Settings (OAuth connection) — not to be confused with the Amazon Seller Central account
* It has to be a genuine **Amazon Business account** (business.amazon.de). A **private / regular Amazon consumer account does not work** — the connection then fails during the redirect.

## The four tabs at a glance

### 1. To record

Here you review new Amazon Business orders before they're taken into your system as a **Record Purchase**. Per item you see:

* product image, brand and order date
* source marketplace (e.g. Amazon.de, .es, .fr, .it)
* quantity, purchase price gross/net
* Keepa price history
* per target marketplace (DE, ES, FR, IT) an embedded **Calculator2** with margin and ROI

Actions:

* **Approve** — moves the selected items into the chosen sheet
* **Hide** (eye icon) — moves the item into the *Hidden* tab
* **Apply min. ROI / margin** — automatically calculates the SP that hits your target metric (e.g. 30% ROI)
* **Source marketplace filter** and multi-select for bulk actions

### 2. Orders

List of all already imported Amazon Business orders with delivery status filters:

* **Pending**
* **In transit**
* **Partially delivered**
* **Fully delivered**

The status updates automatically from Amazon Business data.

### 3. Invoices

Here you filter and download your Amazon Business invoices. Statuses:

* **Available** — directly downloadable
* **Requested** — request to Amazon in progress
* **Being created**
* **Ready**
* **Failed**

Use the checkboxes to select multiple invoices and click **Selected as ZIP** to download them in a bundle — ideal for accounting.

### 4. Hidden

Archive of all orders you deliberately didn't want to record. You can move them back to *To record* from here.

## Step-by-step: Record an order

### Step 1: Open the *To record* tab

→ Open directly in the app: [app.arbitrageone.de/amazonbusiness](https://app.arbitrageone.de/amazonbusiness)

In the navigation, go to **Amazon Business → To record**.

### Step 2: Set min. ROI or margin (optional)

At the top, enter your target metric (e.g. **min. 30% ROI**), select the items you want to adjust and click Confirm.

### Step 3: Choose marketplace

Per item, choose the target marketplace where you want to sell. The Calculator shows margin and ROI live.

### Step 4: Approve

Tick the desired items with the checkbox and click **Approve**. The orders are taken into the Sourcing Mastersheet and then appear in the *Orders* tab.

### Step 5: Delivery & invoice

Track the status under *Orders* and download invoices under *Invoices* — individually or as ZIP.

## Important notes

* Source marketplace = the Amazon marketplace where you bought. Target marketplace = where you sell.
* Gross and net price are shown separately — relevant for VCS and accounting.
* The ZIP download only uses the *available* invoices. *Requested* or *Being created* statuses require waiting.

## Common issues

**Issue:** "I get an error during the redirect to Amazon when connecting."
**Solution:** Most common cause: you're trying to connect a **private Amazon account**. This module requires a genuine **Amazon Business account** (business.amazon.de) — with a regular/private Amazon account the redirect fails. Also make sure you're already logged into the correct Amazon Business account in your browser, then restart the flow via *Settings → API connections*.

**Issue:** "The *To record* tab is empty even though I ordered on Amazon Business."
**Solution:** The import runs periodically in the background. Wait a few minutes or check whether the Amazon Business connection is active.

**Issue:** "An invoice is on *Failed*."
**Solution:** Amazon couldn't generate the invoice. Open the order directly in your Amazon Business account and request the invoice there manually.

**Issue:** "I don't see the module."
**Solution:** Your account may still need the right permission — get in touch with us!
