Amazon Seller support

Everything you need to connect Amazon Seller to Brimlo, understand the first sync, reconcile settlements and resolve the most common connection and accounting review states.

Getting started

Connect your seller account

01

Create or open your Brimlo account

New accounts start with a 30 day trial. Complete the normal Brimlo onboarding before connecting marketplace data.

02

Open Integrations

In the Brimlo workspace, open Integrations and choose Amazon. A standalone Amazon workspace appears only after an active production seller connection exists.

03

Authorize in Amazon

Continue to the Amazon seller authorization screen, sign in to the appropriate seller account and grant the requested access. Do not paste Amazon passwords or API credentials into Brimlo.

04

Return to Brimlo and sync

After Amazon redirects back successfully, Brimlo can start the initial bounded import. Keep the page open while the connection state changes from connected to importing and then to completed or review required.

You do not need Amazon developer credentials

A seller does not need to create or paste a refresh token, Login with Amazon client credentials, AWS keys or an SP API application ID into Brimlo. Seller authorization is completed through the Amazon authorization flow.

Import scope

What Brimlo brings in

Amazon sales and related financial transaction components
Refund activity
Amazon selling fees
FBA related fee components when present in the source data
Payout and settlement information
Settlement components used to reconcile the final cash movement

First sync window

The production first sync is intentionally bounded. Brimlo requests up to 30 days of Amazon financial activity and searches up to 90 days for Settlement V2 information. The bounds protect the connection from an uncontrolled historical import.

Later incremental syncs can be started from the Amazon workspace. Financial activity and settlement discovery can complete independently, so a settlement may temporarily remain in review.

Accounting workflow

A payout is not booked as revenue

Amazon settles multiple economic components into one cash movement. Brimlo keeps those concepts separate instead of using the bank payout as the sales total.

1. Separate components

Sales, refunds, marketplace fees, FBA related fees, tax cash components and the settlement payout are represented separately when the Amazon source data provides them.

2. Reconcile settlement

Brimlo compares the settlement information with the underlying financial activity. A missing or inconsistent component remains a review item rather than being forced into the ledger.

3. Confirm accounting

Recognized accounting candidates remain reviewable before final accounting records are created. The import itself does not silently finalize the ledger.

IVA and IRPF

Amazon data does not replace tax classification

Brimlo is built for autónomos in Spain, but an Amazon cash component alone is not enough to determine the final Spanish IVA, OSS or invoice treatment. Marketplace information is connected to the Brimlo tax workspace only after the relevant accounting context is available.

No automatic factura is issued because an Amazon transaction was imported
No final IVA or OSS treatment is inferred solely from a payout
Review remains required where the source data does not establish the accounting or tax treatment
Brimlo tax estimates use the activity and tax profile selected in the normal onboarding

Tax note

Brimlo helps organize accounting data and prepare tax calculations. It does not replace professional tax or legal advice. Complex marketplace, cross border, OSS or establishment questions may require review by a qualified gestor or tax adviser.

Troubleshooting

Connection and sync states

Amazon is not connected

Open Brimlo Integrations and select Connect Amazon. The Amazon workspace remains hidden until a real production seller authorization is active.

Import is still running

The first sync is intentionally bounded and may complete financial activity and settlement discovery at different times. Do not recreate accounting records manually just because a settlement is still being discovered.

Reauthorization required

Reconnect from Integrations. Brimlo removes the unusable stored refresh credential when Amazon reports that the authorization grant is invalid or revoked, while keeping historical imported data.

Settlement is partial or does not match yet

Leave the accounting candidate in review and sync again later. Brimlo does not force a match or silently book the payout as revenue when the underlying Amazon information is incomplete.

I want to disconnect Amazon

Use the disconnect action in the Amazon connection area. The live authorization credential is destroyed, while historical finance and reconciliation records remain available for accounting continuity.

Authorization security

How credentials are handled

Seller authorization starts through Amazon
The refresh credential is encrypted before database storage
The stored credential is restricted to server side service access and is not exposed to the browser
Short lived Login with Amazon access tokens are not persisted as long term credentials
Disconnect removes the encrypted live credential without deleting historical accounting and sync records

Reauthorization is isolated from history

If Amazon revokes or invalidates the authorization grant, Brimlo marks only that seller connection as requiring reauthorization and removes the unusable encrypted credential. Previously imported finance, settlement and sync history is preserved.

Account and plan

Brimlo access for Amazon sellers

30 day trial

New Brimlo accounts start with the normal Brimlo trial and use the same onboarding as other autónomos. Amazon is connected afterwards from Integrations.

Brimlo Pro · €39 per month

The Amazon integration belongs to the Brimlo Pro feature set. The public Amazon product flow presents the commercial path as 30 days free followed by the monthly Pro plan.

FAQ

Common Amazon questions

Do I need to create Amazon API keys or copy a refresh token into Brimlo?

No. Start the connection from Brimlo Integrations and authorize access through the Amazon seller authorization flow. Brimlo handles the authorization response server side.

Does Brimlo treat my Amazon payout as revenue?

No. A payout is a cash settlement, not an accounting revenue total. Brimlo keeps sales, refunds, fees, tax cash components and settlement movements separate and reconciles them before accounting records are created.

What happens during the first sync?

After a successful production authorization, Brimlo can start a bounded first sync. The current flow uses up to 30 days of Amazon financial activity and searches up to 90 days for settlement information. Later syncs can be started again from the Amazon workspace.

What if Amazon asks me to authorize Brimlo again?

Open Integrations and reconnect Amazon. When an Amazon authorization grant is no longer valid, Brimlo marks the connection as requiring reauthorization. Existing imported finance, settlement and sync history is preserved.

Does Amazon sync automatically create final accounting entries or invoices?

No. Imported Amazon information is staged for review. Brimlo does not create a factura, finalize ledger records or infer Spanish IVA or OSS treatment solely from an Amazon payout or marketplace amount.

What happens if I disconnect Amazon?

The stored Amazon authorization credential is removed. Accounting and sync history already stored in Brimlo is retained so historical records do not disappear simply because the live connection is disconnected.
