🔗 Zoho + Amazon integration

Run Amazon from Zoho.

Q: How do Zoho and Amazon work together?

Zoho holds the stock and product data. Wherehouse keeps Amazon in step with it: stock and price go out with your rules on top, and Amazon orders come back into Zoho with fees attached. A dedicated account manager sets it up with you, with example orders first.

Q: Is this Zoho Inventory or Zoho Books?

Both, together. Inventory holds stock and sales orders. Books holds the invoices and credit notes. The connection is designed around that pair.

Q: Can Wherehouse create new Amazon product pages?

No. Wherehouse helps you latch your offer onto a product that already exists on Amazon (by ASIN, barcode or Amazon URL). If it is not on Amazon yet, create the listing in Seller Central and Wherehouse matches it automatically and starts syncing.

Q: Do you update a Zoho sales order after it is created?

We create the flow (order, optional invoice and payment, credit notes for returns). We do not keep rewriting a sales order once it exists. Get the first mapping right, then let it run.

Q: Do you support FBA and FBM?

Yes. We read both. FBA is fulfilled by Amazon. FBM (merchant fulfilled) is you shipping, including Seller Flex / direct-to-consumer from your own warehouse. Orders are tagged so downstream picking knows which is which.

Q: Is there a setup fee?

No. There are no setup fees on any plan. During onboarding we ingest your catalogue and sync a couple of test orders and products, so you know it works before you rely on it. You only pay once the account is live. Billed monthly. Cancel any time.

Q: How long does onboarding take?

Most sellers are live in under 5 days, with all their business rules set up. It depends on how many platforms you connect and how specific your rules are. A dedicated account manager sets it up with you. We run specified example orders first. Nothing automatic goes through until those are right.

Q: Do I have to live in the Wherehouse dashboard?

No. Most brands and distributors keep working in the store, ERP or seller portal they already know. Wherehouse runs in the background. The dashboard is there when you want one view of stock, orders, fees and sync history.

Zoho stays the source of truth. We keep Amazon stock and prices right after commission and fees. Amazon orders land in Zoho, and every fee reaches your books.

Amazon is a second shop. It shouldn’t be a second job.

Stock in two places means oversells and cancelled orders. A price set by hand leaks margin once commission and fees come off. Orders get retyped into Zoho. We connect Amazon to Zoho, so all of that runs in the background.

🛍️ The full Zoho flow, if you want it

Sales order, confirm, ship, invoice, payment. Or just the sales order. You choose how far automation goes.

📦 Per-warehouse stock

Marketplace availability can follow the Zoho warehouse you actually pick from.

🔗 Attach your offer, don’t clone the page

Amazon already has the catalogue. We match your products and latch your offer onto existing ASINs. No upload sheets, no waiting on a new product page.

Your rules, not a generic sync

How it works

Connect

Your Amazon seller account, plus Zoho, which stays the source of truth.

Set your rules

Price rules that build in Amazon fees, stock buffers, which SKUs go to Amazon.

Test it first

We run example orders first. Nothing automatic goes through until they’re right.

Stay in step

Stock, price, orders and fees keep moving between Zoho and Amazon in the background.

🛒 Orders

Orders placed on Amazon automatically create in Zoho. No retyping, no missed picks. A Takealot sale can become a Zoho sales order, then invoice and payment, without retyping. Have more sales channels? The same flow can cover the rest of the stack, with rules per platform.

📦 Stock & pricing

Stock from Zoho updates Amazon so you do not oversell. Price rules per channel build in commission and fees, so every sale still leaves a margin: a 10% uplift on Takealot, a different price on Makro, a SKU held off one channel. Per-warehouse Zoho stock can drive every marketplace, with adjustments when the pictures drift.

📦 Product data

Titles, images and attributes you already maintain can keep Amazon current, without rebuilding a loadsheet. Zoho items can be the catalogue the channels see, including the fields you already maintain there.

Latch your Amazon offers

Match the catalogue you already have to existing ASINs and go live without the listing grind.

💵 Buy box repricer

Repricer add-on

Watch competitors on Amazon and push a winning price through your own seller account. Never below your floor. If we cannot win profitably, we hold. Price from your cost plus Amazon fees to the profit you want to keep, and let the repricer compete for the Buy Box above that floor.

Amazon Seller Flex & FBM

Ship Amazon orders from your own warehouse

For brands and distributors who ship Amazon orders to buyers themselves (Seller Flex or FBM, which means you ship, not Amazon). Wherehouse connects your Amazon account to your warehouse management system (WMS), so selling, stock and shipping stay in step without retyping.

Seller Flex stock kept in sync

We keep your Seller Flex stock in sync with your WMS, so Amazon shows what you actually hold. As stock moves in your warehouse, Amazon quantities follow, which helps prevent overselling and stale listings.

Shipping labels from Amazon

For orders you ship yourself, Wherehouse gets the shipping label from Amazon through Amazon's Merchant Fulfillment and Easy Ship APIs. Your team picks, packs and dispatches in the workflow it already uses.

Orders in your fulfilment workflow

We pull each order through Amazon's Orders API and turn it into pick, pack and ship instructions inside your WMS, so every order you ship yourself goes out right.

How we handle your data. Amazon order and buyer information is processed only to fulfil and ship the buyer's order, and is handled in line with Amazon's Data Protection Policy and our Privacy Policy .

Brands and distributors like you, already running.

Distributors and specialist retailers who run their whole marketplace business from the system they already had.

Indispensable

“The amount of daily admin that Wherehouse has removed from our day-to-day business is spectacular. We couldn’t live without them. Selling through multiple channels has become manageable.”

Takealot, Xero, Shopify connected

“The Xero automation is the best part. It just handles all our invoicing in the background so we don’t have to. It’s simple, it works, and it’s clearly built for the SA market.”
