Do I Need an Amazon Professional Seller Account?

In short: Yes. You must have an active Amazon Professional Seller Account to use FBA/MCF and integrate your store with the Shipr app.

Why a Professional Account is Required

  • API Access: Shipr automates your fulfillment by connecting directly to Amazon’s Selling Partner API (SP-API).
  • Account Restrictions: Amazon strictly limits SP-API access to Professional Seller accounts. Individual selling accounts are not eligible to authorize or integrate with third-party apps like Shipr.
  • Upgrading: If you currently have an Individual account, you can easily upgrade to a Professional plan within your Amazon Seller Central settings at any time to unlock this capability.
