Overview

Amazon has added an invoice upload function directly inside Seller Central, allowing sellers to create, attach, and monitor customer invoices without leaving the platform. The new tool supports batch uploads, automatically flags orders that lack invoices, and offers API endpoints for automated workflows. Sellers with large order volumes or those operating in VAT‑obligated marketplaces can now cut down the time spent on manual invoicing and reduce compliance risk.

Key Points

• Native upload interface — Sellers can attach a PDF invoice to an order from the order‑details page with just a few clicks.
• Batch processing — The system accepts multiple invoices in a single upload, removing the need to handle each order individually.
• Automatic missing‑invoice alerts — Orders without an associated invoice are highlighted, helping sellers catch gaps before they become compliance issues.
• Programmatic API access — New endpoints let third‑party software or custom scripts generate, upload, and track invoices automatically.
• Compliance focus — The feature is built to meet VAT‑invoice requirements in European marketplaces, where providing a proper invoice is a legal obligation.
• Time‑saving impact — By consolidating invoicing inside Seller Central, sellers can reallocate effort toward growth activities such as advertising and inventory planning.

How the Invoice Upload Tool Works

1. Navigate to the order — From the Orders tab, open the detail view of the purchase that needs an invoice.
2. Select “Upload Invoice” — A new button appears on the page; clicking it opens a file‑picker where the seller chooses the PDF or image file.
3. Confirm attachment — After the file uploads, the system displays a confirmation banner and the invoice becomes visible to the buyer in the order communication thread.

Automation path via API

1. Call the “Create Invoice” endpoint — The seller’s ERP or accounting software sends a request that includes order ID, invoice metadata, and the document payload.
