This connector is deprecated.

Amazon's MWS (Marketplace Web Service) has been retired and replaced by the Amazon Selling Partner API (SP-API). For a secure, fully supported integration, we strongly recommend using AWS Selling Partner (SP-API) Connector instead.

Video tutorial

Watch this quick video to see the integration in action. It walks you through the end-to-end setup, including:

  • Installing the SSIS PowerPack
  • Configuring a secure connection to Amazon MWS
  • Working with Amazon MWS data directly inside SSIS
  • Exploring advanced API Source features
While this video uses the OData Connector as an example, the core concepts and setup process are exactly the same for the Amazon MWS Connector.
