Earlier, if you had an eCommerce website and also wanted to sell on the Amazon marketplace, you had to create a separate seller account and manage it separately. It was a tough job to manage an eCommerce site and an Amazon seller account separately.
With Amazon MWS, a broader scope of functionalities was introduced to those who have an eCommerce store and also want to sell on Amazon. With the new API, Amazon product listing, order management, payment, and much more functionalities were integrated into various solutions developed for different eCommerce platforms.
The PrestaShop Amazon US connection is one such solution that integrates the Amazon seller functionalities into existing workflow of PrestaShop stores so that selling on Amazon fits seamlessly to the current eCommerce operations.

Using the Amazon MWS connection, the PrestaShop Amazon integration module allows product import-export, order management, payment report etc right on a PrestaShop dashboard itself. You do not have to login to your Amazon seller account to manage the product feeds, or product orders anymore. You can manage all these right from your PrestaShop store.
To use this functionality, you need to install the PrestaShop Amazon US Marketplace integration module on your PrestaShop. After that, you need to create a professional seller account at Amazon which you will use to show your product on the Amazon marketplace.
