Modified on Wed, 31 Jul at 5:25 PM

M2E Pro offers automatic invoice uploading for all orders managed across Amazon European Marketplaces (UK, DE, IT, FR, ES, NL, BE, PL, SE). This feature should be enabled for each Amazon European account in your M2E Pro.

To do it, navigate to Amazon > Configuration > Accounts > Edit Account > Invoices & Shipments and select the option that suits you:

Upload Magento Invoices

You may choose to automatically upload Magento Invoice once it is created for the Magento order. In this case, we recommend keeping the Magento Invoice Creation option enabled to make M2E Pro create Magento Invoices automatically:

With this option enabled Magento Credit Memo will also be sent to Amazon automatically once it is created.

Note

There is a limitation on the automatic upload of Magento invoices to Amazon – no more than 50 invoices can be uploaded within 10 minutes. The reason for that is Amazon API's throttling limits.

Unfortunately, the Amazon API only allows to upload the invoices, but does not return the confirmation whether the operation was successful. The only way to see if the invoice was uploaded is to check it in your Amazon Seller Central directly.

Tip

To view Invoices, navigate to your Seller Central. Then go to Your Orders and click Invoice underneath the order number.

Also, starting from M2E Pro version 6.42.0 (Magento 1) and 1.42.0 (Magento 2) you can also upload Magento invoices to Amazon if the VAT Calculation Service is enabled in your Seller Central Account.

Use VAT Calculation Service

If you have VAT Calculation Service enabled in your Seller Central Account (it implies that Amazon calculates the VAT amount based on your VAT calculation settings), you can select the Use VAT Calculation Service option.

Here you may choose whether M2E Pro or Amazon should generate invoices:

To keep invoice generation on the Amazon side, select I want Amazon to generate VAT Invoices option.

If you select M2E Pro will generate and upload Invoices, M2E Pro will generate invoices on the basis of VAT calculations taken from the Channel. Once M2E Pro receives the VAT-related data, it will automatically upload the generated invoices to Amazon.

Invoices will be sent from ship-to locations with VAT registration numbers that you provided when registering for the VAT calculation service.

Note

There is a limitation on the automatic upload of VAT invoices to Amazon – no more than 50 invoices can be uploaded within 10 minutes. The reason for that is Amazon API's throttling limits.

Tip

To view VAT invoices, navigate to your Seller Central. Then go to Your Orders and click Invoice underneath the order number.

Here is the sample of the Invoice/Credit Note generated by M2E Pro:

In case of order cancellation/refund, Amazon or M2E Pro (depending on the settings) will automatically create and upload Credit Notes to your Seller Central.
