Publishing a SP-API Application Help

[The-Geology-Guy]

Hi!

I am currently stuck trying to get my app published in the Seller Central Marketplace. Additionally, I believe that I may be having some difficulties understanding what exactly is required for the App to be published. I have filled out the first page of the listing and added the oAuth URIs, but I am stuck trying to figure out how to publish the app.

For clarity -- I am using this Python package to make requests successfully -- so that is not an issue. The end goal of the project is to use this app to gain access to multiple clients reports without having to set up each client as an independent developer.

So far, I have been following the Marketplace Appstore Workflow found in the Selling Parter API Dev Guide. This has only lead to more questions. I thought that this may be a good place to find answers to these questions as the Amazon support has not reached back out to me in weeks.

The first question I have is: does the idea of using a single developer account to pull data from all of our clients even make sense? From what I have read, it does, but I wanted to make sure it was doable.

The second question is: it appears that MWS was much easier to grant developer's access to the accounts, is there not a similar solution for the SP-API? What I mean by this is that there is currently a button to 'Authorize New Developer', where the Developer Name and ID were required, but this does not appear to work with the new SP-API applications.

I am still fairly new to all of this, so any feedback would be helpful!

Thank you!

Yes, creating a single developer account for multiple clients is the way to go, the authorization flow is actually quite easy, you just have to

• include an LWA Button
• let user's authorize your app
• get the refresh token you need for making a request.

There's a lib available from Amazon for oauth2 handling. The selling partner getting started guide should cover this more closely.
