When we download an order from Amazon and pass it to the POS we need to assign all the shipping information that Amazon gives us to a shipping method. The best way of doing this is to create a dummy Amazon shipping method which the integration can assign information to.
Setting up a Shipping Method
Different POS system do this in different ways:
- RMS Store Operations and HQ: Create shipping method in Store Operations Manager;
- POS 2009: Create shipping method in WebStore Manager;
- Cash Register Express (CRE):Create shipping method in WebStore Manager;
- The General Store (TGS): Create shipping method in WebStore Manager;
- UnifyPOS: Create shipping method in WebStore Manager;
The shipping method should set the cost of any shipping to 0. This will be over-ridden with the values that Amazon pass down.
