After July 2021, the 2.3.x release line will no longer receive quality updates, or user guide updates. PHP 7.3 reaches end of support in December 2021 and Adobe Commerce 2.3.x reaches end of support in September 2022. We strongly recommend planning your upgrade now to Adobe Commerce 2.4.x to help maintain PCI compliance.

Order Settings

The information on this page is intended for Adobe Commerce 2.3 customers who are on an extended support contract. The Adobe Commerce Merchant Documentation for current releases is published on the Adobe Experience League.

Order Settings define if and how Amazon orders are imported into and processed in Magento and can be accessed on the store dashboard.

By default, your order import settings are set to Enabled. This means that your Amazon orders will show on the store dashboard and create corresponding Magento orders. Imported orders can be managed in the Magento Orders workflow.

Regardless of your order settings, Amazon orders that existed prior to your store integration will not import.

After store integration is complete, you can change your order settings. If you set your order settings to Disabled, Amazon orders show on the store dashboard but must be managed in your Amazon Seller Central account.

When an order is created on Amazon, it is not immediately imported into Magento. Amazon assigns a Pending status to newly created orders. After Amazon verifies the order and payment method, the order’s status is changed to Unshipped. This status change triggers the order import, and Magento creates a matching, corresponding order.

Orders imported from Amazon can be managed in the Magento orders workflow. See also Manage Orders.

Configure order settings

  1. Click Order Settings on the store dashboard.

  2. For Import Amazon Orders (required), choose an option:

    • Disabled - Choose when you do not want to create corresponding orders in Magento when new orders are received from Amazon. When chosen, all other fields on this page are disabled.

    • Enabled - (Default) Choose when you want to create corresponding Magento orders when new orders are received from Amazon. Magento orders are created based on Amazon status and stock levels.

    Import Amazon Orders must be set to Enabled to manage Amazon orders in the Magento Orders workflow. When set to Disabled, your Amazon orders do not have a corresponding Magento order number and cannot be managed in Magento. You must manage these orders in your Amazon Seller Central account.

  3. For Import Amazon Orders Into Magento Store, choose which Magento Store the Amazon orders will be associated with when the corresponding order is created in Magento. This setting defaults to the Store View for the Magento Website selected when you added the Amazon store. If you want to change this setting, the list of options depends on the Magento stores you have set up in your configuration. See Stores.

  4. For Customer Creation, choose an option:

    • No Customer Creation (guest) - (Default) Choose when you do not want to create a customer account in Magento using the imported customer data from the Amazon order. When chosen, Magento processes an imported Amazon order the same way it processes a guest checkout in Magento.

    • Build New Customer Account - Choose when you want to create a New Customer Account in Magento using the customer data imported with the Amazon order. This builds your customer database from your Amazon orders.

  5. For Order Number Source, choose an option:

    • Build Using Magento Order Number - (Default) Choose when you want to create a unique Magento order number for the corresponding Amazon order using the Magento incrementally-assigned order ID.

    • Build Using Amazon Order Number - Choose when you want to create the Magento order number using the corresponding Amazon-assigned order number.

    After an order is imported, the Amazon order number shows in the Recent Orders list on the store dashboard. The Magento order number shows when viewing the order details in the Magento Orders workspace.

  6. For Order Status (required), choose an option:

    • Default Order Status - (Default) Choose when you want newly created orders imported from Amazon to be assigned your defined default order status for new orders. The default status for new orders (unless you have created a custom order status for new orders) is Pending. See Processing Orders.

    • Custom Order Status - Choose when you want newly created orders imported from Amazon to be assigned a status other than the default.

      • Processing Order Status - Enables when Order Status is set to Custom Order Status. Choose the status you want to use for newly created orders imported from Amazon. The options in this field are based on the default status options in Magento. See Order Status. You can also create a custom order status to show here for selection. To create a custom order status, see Custom Order Status.
  7. When complete, click Save order settings.

If an Amazon order is imported in a Partially Shipped or Shipped status, the inventory reservation that is created will be for all items in the order. Amazon Sales Channel does not compensate for items that have been previously shipped.

If an order is Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) but an item is in out of stock status, Magento is unable to create a corresponding order. This is a limitation of MSI integrations.
