Amazon Business Orders Use Case Guide

Retrieve and identify Amazon business orders.

API Version: v0

What is an Amazon Business order?

An Amazon Business order is an order where the buyer is a verified business buyer. You can use the isBusinessOrder attribute in the order object to distinguish between business and non-business orders. An Amazon business order will have the isBusinessOrder attribute set to true.

The Orders API is used to retrieve orders created for the selling partner for whom the calls are being made. You can use the getOrders operation to get all the orders for the selling partner, then get all business orders by filtering with the isBusinessOrder attribute. You can use getOrderAddress to retrieve the shipping address and associated delivery preferences.

Tutorial: Get delivery preferences for an Amazon business order

This tutorial shows you how to get delivery preferences for Amazon business orders.

Step 1. Get the order IDs for Amazon business orders

In order to get delivery preferences for an order, we need the order ID. Order IDs can be fetched from the GetOrders API as described in the Tutorial: How to get all Amazon business orders. Any order ID returned with isBusinessOrder = true is an Amazon business order.

Step 2. Get order address details for an Amazon business order

The delivery preferences are associated with the shipping address. Call the getOrderAddress operation with an order ID to get all delivery preferences specified by the user for the shipping address. If no delivery preferences are specified by the customer for the address, the default business hours for the region are returned. Make sure of the following:

The order ID belongs to an Amazon business order
The order was created after 02/08/2023

Request

Call the getOrderAddress operation, passing the following query parameter:

Parameter	Description	Required
`orderId`	An Amazon-defined order identifier, in 3-7-7 format. Type: string	Yes

Request example

GET https://sellingpartnerapi-na.amazon.com/orders/v0/orders/903-5843655-6160617/address

Response

A successful response includes a payload object with all parameters from the OrderAddress object in the API doc. Please note that the ShippingAddress is not returned for pending and cancelled orders today, and DeliveryPreferences are only available for Amazon business orders.
