Deprecation of two payment settlement report types
Amazon will retire the XML and original flat‑file settlement reports (GET_V2_SETTLEMENT_REPORT_DATA_XML and GET_V2_SETTLEMENT_REPORT_DATA_FLAT_FILE) on June 25 2026. Sellers must switch to the new single endpoint GET_V2_SETTLEMENT_REPORT_DATA_FLAT_FILE_V2, which adds a total_amount column, dual dates and locale‑aware currency formatting.
The following settlement reports are announcing deprecation and will be unavailable for sellers as of March 25, 2026 November 11, 2026 : XML Settlement Report ( GET_V2_SETTLEMENT_REPORT_DATA_XML ) Flat File Settlement Report ( GET_V2_SETTLEMENT_REPORT_DATA_FLAT_FILE ) These reports are replaced with...
Analysis & Recommendations
Why This Matters
Without updating the API call, settlement files will stop downloading after June 2026, breaking accounting integrations and causing manual re‑entries. The new V2 flat file simplifies parsing but requires code changes to handle the consolidated amount column, ISO‑8601 timestamps and comma‑decimal separators for European markets.
Key Takeaways
- GET_V2_SETTLEMENT_REPORT_DATA_XML and GET_V2_SETTLEMENT_REPORT_DATA_FLAT_FILE will return no data after 2026‑06‑25.
- The replacement endpoint is GET_V2_SETTLEMENT_REPORT_DATA_FLAT_FILE_V2, delivering a single flat‑file layout.
- V2 adds a "total_amount" column, an "amount_type" descriptor, and both human‑readable and ISO‑8601 date fields.
- European marketplaces will use commas as decimal separators in the V2 file.
Recommended Actions
- →Search all codebases and scheduled jobs for the deprecated report IDs (GET_V2_SETTLEMENT_REPORT_DATA_XML / FLAT_FILE) and replace them with GET_V2_...
- →Update CSV parsers to map the new total_amount and amount_type columns and to parse the ISO‑8601 timestamp (prefer over the short date). Test the c...
- →Run a two‑week side‑by‑side validation: download both legacy and V2 reports, compare order IDs, settlement totals and transaction types, and docume...
