What documents they require

• 850 / 855 — purchase orders and acknowledgments
• 856 — advance ship notice with carton and SSCC expectations where applicable
• 810 — invoicing tied to receipt windows and PO references
• 864 / text messages — when Amazon issues structured responses or error notifications in your program

How long onboarding takes
