New: Introducing SP-API support for third-party providers

We are excited to announce open banking support for third-party providers (TPPs). This functionality enables TPPs to securely access an account holder's account and payment services. This launch includes the new Transfers API, an update to the Sellers API, and new roles.

Transfers API v2024-06-01

The Transfers API v2024-06-01 can be used to retrieve information about the payment methods associated with a seller and initiate payouts to a seller's deposit method on file.

This API includes two operations:

getPaymentMethods: Retrieves payment method details that are associated with a seller in a given marketplace. To use this operation, you must select one of the following roles in the app registration page for your application:
- Payment Initiation Service Provider (PISP) role
- Finance and Accounting role
initiatePayout: Initiates a payout to the seller's default deposit method in Seller Central for the given marketplaceId and accountType. To use this operation, you must select one of the following roles in the app registration page for your application:
- Payment Initiation Service Provider (PISP) role
- Account Information Service Provider (AISP) role
- Finance and Accounting role

The Transfers API v2024-06-01 is available in the EU region. For more information, refer to the Transfers API v2024-06-01 Use Case Guide.

Sellers API v1

The Sellers API v1 returns seller identity data. This API has the following updates:

getAccount: Returns information about a seller account and its marketplaces. This operation requires the Account Information Service Provider (AISP) role. The response now includes:
- The sellingPlan parameter at the root level
- The MarketplaceParticipationList array instead of MarketplaceLevelAttributes
getMarketplaceParticipations: Returns a list of marketplaces where the seller can list items and information about the seller's participation in those marketplaces. The response now contains a storeName, which you can use to get the name of the seller's store as displayed in the marketplace.

New roles

The Account Information Service Provider (AISP) role and the Payment Initiation Service Provider (PISP) role are compliant with the EU's revised Payment Services Directive (PSD2).

Which marketplaces are affected?

This change applies to the following marketplaces:

What action is required?

SP-API developers who act as TPPs must disclose to Amazon that they are TPP developers.
