SP-API Updates: Solution Provider Portal Agreement and Policy Updates, BR Store ShipperTrackingNumber Validation, and Listings Attribute and Enumeration Values Changes
Amazon is implementing SP-API updates including new security mandates for solution providers effective August 25, 2026, and strict alphanumeric-only ShipperTrackingNumber validation for the Brazil marketplace. Additionally, global catalog metadata is being refined through attribute consolidation and updated enumeration values.
This week's SP-API updates include updates to the Data Protection Policy, Solution Provider Portal Agreement, and Acceptable Use Policy, ShipperTrackingNumber field validation enforcement for the Brazil Amazon store, and August updates to Listing attribute usage and enumeration values.
Analysis & Recommendations
Why This Matters
Developers must implement WAF and specific lockout protocols by August 2026 to avoid non-compliance. In Brazil, using URLs in tracking fields will result in silent data rejection, leaving customers without visibility.
Key Takeaways
- Solution providers must implement a 15-minute screen lock and 30-minute lockout after ten failed attempts by August 25, 2026.
- Brazil marketplace tracking numbers must be alphanumeric-only, banning all special characters and URLs.
- The Listings API and JSON_LISTINGS_FEED users will face changes due to attribute consolidation and new mandatory values.
- Sensitive data must be permanently purged within a 30-day window after its required use.
Recommended Actions
- →Refactor Brazil shipping logic to strip all URLs and special characters from the ShipperTrackingNumber field in API calls.
- →Audit third-party software providers to ensure compliance with the August 25, 2026, Data Protection Policy.
- →Review product data via the Listings API to identify items requiring new mandatory attribute values before the August 31, 2026, update.
