What is Amazon Seller Central?
Amazon Seller Central is an Amazon-powered platform that allows merchants to sell products directly to customers on Amazon’s marketplace. It serves as a central hub where sellers can manage their inventory, track orders, analyze sales performance, and access business metrics. This portal provides sellers with data about their business operations, customer behavior, and marketplace performance.
What are APIs?
APIs allow different software applications to communicate with each other through standardized protocols — this allows data and information to be shared between platforms. APIs enable businesses to pull data from various external sources, databases, or services in a structured and automated way. This type of data integration is crucial for businesses that need to consolidate information from multiple sources.
