Jeff Bezos, in 1995, started AMAZON.com as a “virtual” retailer – no inventory, no warehouses, no overhead; just computers

Amazon owed its popularity to its excellent customer service, which was due to its effective inventory management.

A significant step for the team here at Stitch Labs. Amazon is a major force in the e-commerce world and we couldn't be happier to be a part of it.

Stitch will import products from Amazon and then allow for a two way sync of inventory quantities.

Unlike our other integration partners, Amazon's information doesn't move quite as quickly. This is due to the controls Amazon has put in place to throttle their massive volume moving through their systems.

Because of this situation, some delays of the information transfer from Stitch to Amazon do take place.

Importing initial product catalogs from Amazon to Stitch can take anywhere from 10 minutes to 1 hour.

When a sale happens on Amazon, the same delay in the aforementioned point can potentially take place.

Sales that occur in other integrated channels (e.g. Shopify, BigCommerce, etc.) typically auto-sync to Stitch within minutes. When those inventory quantities decrement from Stitch, the new inventory quantities will be subject to the delays above when posting back to Amazon.
