Amazon Business

The Amazon Business integration lets you restock inventory directly from Sortly using your company's Amazon Business account. When something runs low, you can reorder right away, without building a list or starting a Purchase Order.

Once connected, you can also see your recent Amazon Business orders inside Sortly, so your restocking history stays in one place.

How the Amazon Business integration works

The Amazon Business integration lets you:

  • Connect your Sortly account to your company's Amazon Business account.
  • Search Amazon from inside Sortly when you need to reorder.
  • Place Amazon Business orders while you're working in Sortly.
  • View your recent Amazon Business order history in Sortly.

Once connected, Sortly automatically syncs your Amazon Business orders from up to one month before your connection date. You'll find these under Workflows > Online Orders.

⚠️ Amazon Business is only available on Premium, Ultra, and Enterprise plans on US-based Sortly accounts. Your account's country is set during signup based on your timezone and can be updated anytime on the Company Details page.

Restock options appear when:

  • An item reaches or drops below its minimum stock level, labeled Low Stock.
  • An item hits zero, labeled Out of Stock.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I connect my Amazon Business account to Sortly?
Head to Integrations > Amazon Business and click Connect. You can also get there from Workflows > Online Orders. Either way, it's a one-time setup, so you won't need to do it again.
Will I be able to see my Amazon order details in Sortly?
Yes. Once you're connected, your Amazon Business orders show up under Workflows, with the purchase date, total, order number, and tracking info all in one place.
Does Sortly add a markup to Amazon items?
Not at all. You'll always see Amazon's prices with no added fees or markups from Sortly.
Can I use this feature on any plan?
Amazon Business is included on our Premium, Ultra, and Enterprise plans. If you're on a different plan and would like access, our support team is happy to talk through your options.
Where do I find my Amazon order history in Sortly?
Once you're connected, go to Workflows > Online Orders and you'll see your full order history there.
What happens if I disconnect Amazon Business?
No need to worry, your past order history stays right where it is (you just won't be able to edit it). Sortly will simply stop syncing any new orders going forward.
Why don't I see the option to connect to Amazon Business?
Amazon Business is available on Premium, Ultra, and Enterprise plans for US-based accounts. If your account is on a different plan, or registered outside the US, that's likely why you don't see the option. If you believe you should have access, check that you're signed in as an Owner, your Sortly plan is Premium, Ultra, or Enterprise, and your account's billing address/country is set to the United States. Still not seeing it? Reach out to Sortly Support with your account email and plan, and we'll help you get sorted.
Where will I see the option to Restock?
You'll spot it in quite a few places: item cards, item detail pages, your dashboard, notifications, low-stock emails, and the reorder page. You can also open it anytime from the three-dot menu on an item.
Can I restock multiple items at once with Amazon Business?
Not yet, this is something we're looking into. In the meantime, bulk restocking is available through Purchase Orders.
Will Sortly let me know when something is running low?
Yes. You'll get in-app alerts and low-stock emails, each with a handy one-click Restock link so you can act right away.
How does Sortly find the right Amazon products for my items?
Sortly looks at your item's details, and its photo when you have one, to help surface the closest matches on Amazon while you're restocking.
Does this work for every item in my inventory?
Sortly will search Amazon for any item you choose to restock. You'll just get the best matches when your items have clear names and photos.
