# Amazon

> Connect your Amazon account to Converge

## Installation instructions

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a new Server-side source in Converge">
    1. In Converge, go to Event sources
    2. Click on **Create a new source**
    3. Pick *Server-side* from the modal
    4. Choose **Amazon**
    5. Name your source: e.g. `Amazon Orders`
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your Amazon account">
    6. Click on **Connect Amazon**
    7. You'll be redirected to Amazon to authorize the connection
    8. Sign in with your Amazon account credentials
    9. Review and approve the permissions requested by Converge
    10. You'll be redirected back to Converge
    11. Select your Amazon region from the dropdown
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete setup">
    12. Once you've selected your region, click on **Create Source**
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>You should see the Source syncing all historical order data. No need to wait before it's fully synced to create destinations—we'll automatically check which orders are historic and new and forward only the new ones if a destination is active while historically syncing.</Note>

<Note>We'll only sync orders once they leave the **pending** state. Orders stay in pending while waiting for payment authorization, which typically takes a day or two but can take longer.</Note>

<Warning>This integration currently only works for third-party (3P) sellers. If you are a first-party seller and would like support, please reach out to us.</Warning>

## Event spec

This integration auto-tracks the following events on the server with all properties available according to the [Converge event spec](/sources/converge-spec).

| Event Name                                          | Event Description                |
| --------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| [Placed Order](/sources/converge-spec#placed-order) | When a customer places an order. |

### Sales channels

Events received by Converge from Amazon are automatically mapped to Converge's [sales channels types](/sources/concepts/sales-channels).

All orders from Amazon are mapped to the **amazon** sales channel type.

More on sales channels can be found [here](/sources/concepts/sales-channels).

| Amazon     | Converge | Description                    |
