What are the endpoints or steps needed to process returns and refunds for FBM (Fulfillment By Merchant) accounts using Amazon Selling Partners API? I can find information about FBA but nothing for FBM.
I have read through the API documentation and cannot locate what I need to retrieve orders that have requested to be returned.
You can call the createReport
API and request one on the listed Return Reports
. For FBM orders, I would suggest the XML Returns Report by Return Date
or the Flat File Returns Report by Return Date
. They contain the same set of informations, but in two different formats.
You will find both the Approved and Pending
Beware: when you ask for the report using the createReport
API, provide both the dataStartTime
and dataEndTime
with the format yyyy-MM-ddT00:00:00+00:00
(note that time is set to 00:00:00+00:00). If you set any time different than that, your report will enter in a FATAL
state and no data will be returned.
Finally, there is no way, as far as I know, to either accept a return or emit a refund through Amazon SP-API.
