Are you looking for a quicker way to transfer data from Amazon SP-API to Snowflake? Here is an easy solution for this data migration process using an ETL tool: Daton.
E-commerce is a competitive space as everyone is embarking on a new journey to start selling online. They can sell their products online in any eCommerce platform or an established marketplace. Marketplaces like Amazon simplify the selling process by providing the entire infrastructure needed for sellers. But online selling requires other tools like payment, accounting or inventory management systems.
Hence, they need to consolidate and tally the data from Amazon and other tools for a comprehensive picture. The data insights will help them track problems, trace any issues back through the workflow to the source, and optimize the operation of various teams.
Why integrate Amazon SP-API to Snowflake
Amazon sellers are heavily dependent on analysts for daily reports from Amazon. A channel analyst usually uses reports from Amazon to build channel performance reports for Team Managers. Relying on manual reporting leads to an underperforming channel. The more time people spend on enhancing business performance, the more chance they will improve their company’s performance. Manual reporting leaves little time for strategizing on improving business performance. Amazon recognizes this problem and has come up with a way for businesses to get their data access easily. Amazon SP API offers a set of APIs that allow developers to extract data from Amazon easily. This will enable them to submit reports on behalf of the seller by leveraging code.
For Amazon sellers,
Profits/Losses = (sales data from seller central – advertising expenses incurred in Amazon Ads).
To perform the above calculation, sellers need Amazon Advertising Reports and sales data from Amazon Seller Central. Then the data should be processed in excel to obtain the profit. For global sellers, analysts manually build reports every day on every channel for each country. The impact of manual work is that analysis infrequently happens, limiting how quickly sellers can respond with improved pricing, discounts, stopping campaigns that are not working, and others. Analysts can automate critical reporting tasks and free up their time for in-depth data analysis by automating data extraction from Amazon SP-API to Snowflake. Insights from analysts enable decision-makers to evaluate the impact of their decision but also helps them in taking better decisions.
Amazon SP-API Overview
Amazon Selling Partner API (SP-API) is the latest version of the Amazon Marketplace Web Service (MWS). The SP API is a REST-based system to programmatically access data on listings, orders, payments and reports. It will allow sellers to automate data access to increase selling efficiency, obtain insights, automate manual processing, optimize ad spend and simplify inventory management decisions. SP API will also help them target special offers and promotions when customers are more likely to purchase. It has JSON-based REST API design standards, improved security and a sandbox for testing. Amazon Selling Partner developers will find it easier to integrate the APIs and extract Amazon store data directly. If you developed apps in-house for your Amazon business, you need to migrate from Amazon MWS. The Amazon SP API can be broadly classified into:
- Feeds Api
- Reports API
- Catalog API
- Product Pricing API
- Authorization API
