Why we need Seller Central access

Edited

Short answer

To deliver a shipment into an Amazon fulfillment center, we need limited access to your Amazon Seller Central account — only the shipment-plan permissions needed to enter shipment details and download the FBA and pallet labels. We do not need, ask for, or use access to your listings, pricing, payouts, or customer data. You grant the access, you control it, and you can remove it at any time.

Why the access is needed

Amazon ties everything about an inbound shipment — the FBA shipment IDs, the assigned fulfillment centers, the carton and pallet labels, the delivery method — to your Seller Central shipping plan. Those labels can only be generated and downloaded from inside your account. To prepare your cargo so Amazon accepts it, we need to work within that shipping plan.

Specifically, limited access lets us:

Without this access, you would have to download and hand off every label yourself and re-key pallet details for us — slower, and more error-prone, which risks a refused delivery.

What we do not access

The access is scoped to shipment operations. We do not view, change, or use:

  • your product listings, content, or catalog;

  • your pricing or Buy Box settings;

  • your payouts, banking, or financial information;

  • your customer or order data;

  • your account login credentials — you grant access through Amazon's own user-permission controls, so we never see your password.

If we ever need something beyond shipment operations, we will ask you first and explain why.

You stay in control

  • You grant the access through Seller Central's built-in user-permission settings, choosing the specific permissions.

  • You can review or revoke the access at any time from your account.

  • The access is per-account; only qualified Amazon accounts support this kind of permission sharing.

How this works at Prime Freight

Your operations team requests the limited permissions when you set up FBA delivery. Once granted, we handle the shipment-plan steps and labeling for you, so your cargo meets Amazon's rules without you managing the paperwork on every shipment. If you would rather download and send labels yourself, tell your team — origin-side labeling is also supported (see Amazon labeling and FNSKU requirements).
