Amazon EDI 820 FAQ

Common questions about 820 Payment Order/Remittance Advice transactions with Amazon.

How long does it take to set up Amazon EDI with Stacksync?

Most suppliers are fully connected and processing live Amazon EDI transactions within 3–5 business days. Stacksync's no-code setup means you don't need developers or EDI consultants — configure your field mappings through our visual interface, run a test cycle, and go live.

Do I need an existing VAN or AS2 connection to trade with Amazon?

No. Stacksync handles the entire EDI transport layer. We connect directly to Amazon's trading partner network through our certified connections. You don't need to manage a separate VAN subscription, AS2 certificates, or SFTP configurations.

How does Stacksync help with Amazon compliance?

Stacksync improves compliance scores by eliminating manual processing delays. Purchase Orders sync to your system in real time, ASNs are generated automatically when you ship, and invoices are validated with three-way matching before submission. Real-time monitoring alerts you to issues before they become chargebacks.

Yes. Stacksync integrates with any system that has a database or API — including SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, and custom-built ERPs. Data flows bidirectionally between Amazon's EDI network and your system in real time.

What happens when Amazon updates their EDI specifications?
