After you connect an Amazon store, StoreClaw can read orders, inventory, products, reviews, and other data within the scope you authorize. This data is used for business analysis, business briefings, and automation tasks.
This article explains how to connect StoreClaw through official Amazon OAuth authorization. OAuth is the recommended connection method.
StoreClaw only reads Amazon store data within the scope you authorize. The connection process will not modify, delete, or publish data in your Amazon store.
In the current version, the Amazon connector is managed through the corresponding Plugin. Install the Amazon Plugin first, then open the Plugin detail page and connect your seller account from the Connector section.
Good-fit Workflows
- Sales, revenue, order, and inventory analysis.
- Store health diagnostics, product performance audits, and review insights.
- Listing generation, localization, pricing, and profit decisions.
StoreClaw currently supports two ways to connect an Amazon store:
- Amazon OAuth authorization, recommended
- Manual credential connection
Connect through Amazon OAuth authorization
- Log in to StoreClaw, install the Amazon Plugin, or open the Amazon Plugin detail page and click Install.
- In the Connector section, find Amazon and click Connect.
- In the pop-up window, select the region where you sell, such as North America, Europe, or Far East.
- StoreClaw redirects you to the official Amazon Seller Central authorization page based on the region you selected.
- Log in with the Amazon seller account you want to connect.
- On the Amazon authorization page, select the seller account and marketplace you want to authorize.
- Confirm the authorization scope, then click to agree to the authorization.
- After authorization is completed, the page automatically returns to StoreClaw.
- Back in StoreClaw, confirm that the Amazon account appears as connected on the Plugin detail page.
About Seller ID and marketplace selection
Amazon’s unified authorization page may require you to select one marketplace, but StoreClaw’s Amazon connection is managed by Seller ID.
This means:
- The same Seller ID only needs to be authorized once.
- As long as StoreClaw receives authorization for that Seller ID, StoreClaw can read all accessible marketplace data under that Seller ID within the authorized scope.
- If one Seller ID operates the US, Canada, Mexico, and other marketplaces, StoreClaw identifies and supports those marketplaces after authorization succeeds.
- If you have multiple Seller IDs, they usually need to be authorized separately according to Amazon’s authorization logic.
Therefore, when the Amazon authorization page only allows you to select one marketplace, select any marketplace under the seller account you want to connect and continue authorization. This selection is mainly used to complete the Amazon authorization process. It does not mean StoreClaw can only read data from that one marketplace.
Current support scope
StoreClaw now supports connecting multiple accounts under the same Amazon Connector inside the Amazon Plugin. Each connected account usually corresponds to one Seller ID. If you operate multiple Seller IDs, add and authorize them separately from the Amazon Connector section on the Amazon Plugin detail page.
After connection, each Seller ID appears as an independent connected account. We recommend giving each account a clear alias so you can specify the right store in chats, analysis, and automation tasks.
What you can do after authorization
After authorization succeeds, StoreClaw can read Amazon data within the scope you authorize and use it for:
- Store business analysis
- Daily or weekly business briefings
- Diagnostics across products, inventory, orders, reviews, and other dimensions
- Automated operations tasks and exception alerts
StoreClaw will not modify Listings, prices, inventory, ads, promotions, or any other content that may affect your store status without your confirmation.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Q: What should I do if the Develop Apps menu is greyed out or not visible at all?
A: This is usually an account type or permission issue. Check the following in order: whether you are using an Amazon Professional Seller Account, whether you are logged in with the primary account, and if you are using a sub-account, whether the primary account has granted it application development permissions.
Q: What should I do if the review is rejected?
A: Amazon usually explains the reason in the notification email. The most common issues include invalid contact email address, non-standard security questionnaire answers, and inconsistency between company information and registration materials. You can correct the issues and submit again.
Q: I forgot to copy the Refresh Token and have already closed the page. What should I do?
A: In most cases, you can go back to the app details page, click the authorization or token generation entry again, and go through the process once more. The newly generated Refresh Token may replace the old token.
Q: Does Refresh Token expire?
A: Under normal circumstances, it can be used for a long time. However, if you actively revoke authorization, modify key app permissions, or if Amazon determines that abnormal usage has occurred, the token may become invalid. In this case, perform the authorization process again.
Q: Is this process charged?
A: Amazon’s official developer registration and SP-API access usually do not have a separate charge. StoreClaw fees depend on your subscription plan and the number of connected stores.
Q: Can I connect multiple Amazon stores?
A: Yes. StoreClaw supports connecting multiple accounts under the same Amazon Connector inside the Amazon Plugin. Each authorized Seller ID appears as an independent account, and you can set an alias for it so it is easier to specify in chats and tasks.
If this Seller ID includes multiple accessible marketplaces, StoreClaw can read data from those marketplaces within the authorized scope.
