      How do I connect my Amazon Seller account to Viably?

      The article reviews the benefits of connecting your Amazon Seller account to Viably, and how to authorize the connection.

      To get the funding you need to grow your Amazon store and to help uncover financial trends in your shop’s performance, connect your Amazon Seller account to Viably. 

      Below we'll discuss:

      Why do I need to connect my Amazon Seller Central account?

      Viably is the banking platform for ecommerce, designed to help sellers like you get the funding and financial insights you need to grow!

      If you're an Amazon seller applying for funding with Viably, we ask you to connect your Amazon Seller Central account. By securely connecting your U.S. based Amazon marketplace, our underwriting team can understand the full picture of your business’ performance. With access to your Amazon shop’s real-time data along with your real-time banking data, our team can create funding offers and help you unlock access to Viably’s banking products.

      What does connecting my Amazon Seller account to Viably mean? 

      The connection between Amazon and Viably occurs on the back end via API calls. This means we do not have a user in your Seller Central account nor do we have access to any data other than the reports the API sends back from your Seller Central account back to Viably.

      You can always see and manage your connection to Viably and all other apps that connect to your Seller Central account. On the left-hand navigation panel of your Seller account, head to "Apps and Services" and select "Manage your Apps." 

      Manage your Amazon Seller connection to Viably.

      How do I securely connect my Amazon Seller account to Viably?
