# How to connect

> How to connect the Amazon Seller Central data source to Adriel: authorize with Amazon, choose a marketplace and report type, and sync sales, traffic, orders, and returns data.

Amazon Seller Central is Amazon's dashboard for third-party sellers on the Amazon marketplace. Connecting it reads sales, traffic, orders, and returns from Amazon's Selling Partner API (SP-API) into Adriel dashboards, so marketplace performance can be tracked alongside ad-platform sources.

## Before you connect

The following are required:

* An **Amazon Seller Central** account with access to the marketplace(s) to be connected.
* Sign-in credentials for the Amazon account, used to authorize access in the pop-up.
* Awareness that a single report type is chosen per data source and cannot be changed later — to track more than one report type, repeat the connection for each.

## Connect Amazon Seller Central

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find Amazon Seller Central and choose a region">
    On the **Data Sources** page, search for **Amazon Seller Central** and select it. Choose the marketplace **region** for the account, then click **Submit**. The region determines which Amazon sign-in domain the authorization uses.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize with Amazon">
    In the pop-up window, log in to the Amazon account and grant access when prompted. Amazon shows the requested permissions on its consent screen and returns to Adriel once access is confirmed.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the marketplace(s)">
    Choose the **marketplace(s)** to connect from the dropdown list. Each selected marketplace becomes a separate data source in Adriel.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select a report type">
    Pick one **report type**: **Sales and Traffic**, **Sales and Traffic by Child ASIN**, **Sales and Traffic by Parent ASIN**, **Orders**, or **Returns**. The report type is fixed once the data source is created — to add another, repeat the connection and choose a different type.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit">
    Click **Submit** to complete the connection. The initial sync runs in the background; allow up to one working day for data to appear.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What gets imported

The connector imports the report type selected at connection time — sales and traffic (at parent- or child-ASIN granularity), orders, or returns — for each connected marketplace. Amazon retrieves up to the last 90 days of history on the first sync, then refreshes on a daily schedule.

For the complete list of metrics, breakdowns, report types, refresh cadence, and limits, see the [Amazon Seller Central data reference](/data-sources/a-f/amazon-seller-central/data-reference).

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="The connection shows as disconnected right after authorizing">
    This happens when Amazon rejects the selected marketplace for the authorized user — the account may not have permission for that marketplace. Reconnect using an Amazon account that has access to the chosen marketplace, or select a marketplace the account can report on.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="A different report type is needed after connecting">
    The report type is chosen at data source creation and cannot be changed afterward. Connect a new Amazon Seller Central data source and select the report type needed; each report type is stored separately.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Recent orders have not appeared yet">
    Data is fetched on a daily schedule and the first sync runs in the background, so the most recent activity can take up to a working day to surface. See the data reference for the refresh schedule.
