# Amazon Buy Shipping Amazon Buy Shipping provides domestic shipping services via your Amazon Seller account and can be used for all Merchant Fulfilled Network orders, including Amazon Prime orders. ShipStation V2 API supports connecting Amazon Buy Shipping accounts for merchants based in the US and UK. This carrier integration works mostly the same as any other carrier in ShipStation V2 API. However, in some cases, Amazon-specific requirements necessitate a few extra steps. ## Requirements `carrier_code`: `amazon_shipping` Both rate and label requests for Amazon Buy Shipping must include some additional data in the request body: * Specify the `order_source_code` as `amazon`. * Add the `items` object to include the `external_order_id` and `external_order_item_id` properties, which map to the order ID and order item ID in Amazon Seller Central, respectively. * Match the `ship_to` property to the address of the order in Amazon Seller Central. * Please note that the `ship_to` address is required, but the *actual* address used for rating comes from the Amazon order. ## Connect Amazon Buy Shipping You can connect your Amazon Buy Shipping account via the [ShipStation Dashboard](https://dashboard.shipstation.com/) or through the API using the carrier connection endpoints. [See our Amazon Buy Shipping API help guide](https://help.shipstation.com/hc/en-us/articles/7534756493595) for steps to connect in the ShipStation Dashboard. ## Rates Amazon Buy Shipping supports [rate shopping](/apis/shipengine/docs/rates/rates) with ShipStation V2 API. ### Example Rate Request Here is an example of how to retrieve Amazon Buy Shipping rates for an Amazon order. **POST /v2/rates/** ```http POST /v2/rates HTTP/1.1 Host: api.shipstation.com API-Key: __YOUR_API_KEY_HERE__ Content-Type: application/json { "rate_options": { "carrier_ids": [ "se-13395" ] }, "shipment": { "ship_to": { "address_residential_indicator": "unknown", "name": "John Smith", "phone": "555-555-5555", "company_name": "", "address_line1": "4301 Bull Creek Rd", "address_line2": "", "address_line3": "", "city_locality": "Austin", "state_province": "TX", "postal_code": "78731", "country_code": "US" }, "ship_from": { "address_residential_indicator": "unknown", "name": "Stamps.com", "phone": "1-800-608-2677", "company_name": "", "address_line1": "1990 E.
