Native vs. Make vs. n8n vs. Zapier: setup time, cost, and field mapping
Guide last updated: September 24, 2026
Shopify's native route to Amazon is Marketplace Connect, Shopify's own app for listing products on marketplaces from the Shopify admin. You create Amazon listings from Shopify products inside the app, and inventory stays synced afterward, with Amazon orders flowing back into Shopify for fulfillment. The main work is listing setup: Amazon has category-specific attribute requirements that Shopify's product fields don't cover, so expect to fill in extra attributes or match existing Amazon catalog entries. It needs an Amazon Professional seller account. Pricing is free for the first 50 synced orders a month, then 1% per synced order, capped at $99 a month.
Note: We've identified 3 known limitations with this integration. See known limitations below for details.

Yes, Shopify has a native integration with Amazon. It is available directly within the Shopify app marketplace.
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.
This is typically a one-way sync: Shopify → Amazon. Changes in Amazon do not sync back to Shopify.
Usually, no. Most native integrations are "forward-looking," meaning they only sync data created or updated *after* you activate the connection. To move historical data, you will likely need to perform a one-time CSV export/import manually.
