Yes, Shopify has a native integration with Amazon. It is available directly within the Shopify app marketplace.

Is the connection between Shopify and Amazon secure? β–Ό

Yes. This integration typically uses OAuth 2.0, meaning you grant permission via a secure login window. You do not need to share your raw password, and you can revoke access at any time from your Shopify security settings.

Is the sync one-way or two-way? β–Ό

Will existing data in Shopify sync to Amazon? β–Ό
