Amazon will present you information such as Seller ID, AWS Access Key ID and Secret Key. Copy and paste this information into Linnworks. Once the information has been copied, click the finish button to complete the integration.
Avoiding automatic relisting
Linnworks is a tool compliant with Webinterpret. However, two conditions need to be met in order to prevent Linnworks from automatically relisting your International items (which may cause stock de-synchronization and duplicates that can potentially result in eBay policies violations).
To avoid issues related to this, please ensure to review the following:
Make sure your Linnworks software is updated
Follow the instructions on Linnworks' official website (specifically the Limit Update to CBT Site section)
