Setup API Access ---------------- * Go to https://developer.amazonservices.com (or .ca/.de/.jp/.fr/.co.uk) * Click on the *Sign up for MWS* button and follow the instructions. * At the end you must have a screen (print it and save it !) This screen will contain the following credentials: * Merchant Id (or Seller Id) - This is your unique merchant/seller ID * Marketplace Id - This is the id for the marketplace you are selling on. It allows you to target specific markerplaces (US, Japan, Europe, etc..) in which you are authorized to sell. * Access key - Used to identify the user of this API. * Secret key - This is used to authenticate every request sent to Amazon Make sure to keep this confidential as these credentials can potentially compromise your account.
