Answer Amazon SP-API developer profile (Seller Central & Vendor Central) with restricted roles
and gain access to the Selling Partner API (SP-API)
The developer profile collects your company's contact information, information about the data you need in the Amazon Services API, and security and usage information to ensure compliance with Amazon's user guidelines and privacy policy.Quote from Amazon Seller Central
To gain access to Amazon’s new Selling Partner API (SP-API for short), the first step is to register as a developer. To do this, the developer profile must be filled out in the respective Seller Central or Vendor Cenral account and a corresponding application submitted to Amazon.
For the retrieval of personal data (e.g. address data), Amazon has massively tightened the compliance requirements for registering the developer profile in Seller Central and Vendor Central in recent months and years. With the introduction of the SP API, which replaces Amazon MWS, there is an increased focus on the protection of personal customer data. While relatively lax answers were accepted in the developer profile questionnaire a few years ago, Amazon now requires a sophisticated security concept as part of the answers if you want to request personal data. Among other things, this concept must be in line with several strict Amazon guidelines, only some of which are publicly available.
This is why we – DMS-SYSTEMHAUS GmbH – experience again and again that most companies fail to register the developer profile and also repeatedly submit new “attempts” over a period of several months. This means an immense amount of time and project delays for many companies.
With the help of our answer catalog, on the other hand, you will have unrestricted access to the Amazon SP-API in no time at all!
Activate restricted roles in the Amazon Seller Central developer profile
Restricted roles contain personal data about Amazon buyers and you must provide additional information about the use of your data and appropriate security measures.Quote from Amazon Seller Central
As described above, Amazon is particularly strict if you, as a prospective Amazon developer, wish to request personal data, which is the rule. Access to this personal data is regulated by “restricted roles”.
Restricted roles are access authorizations that make it possible to query personal data of Amazon shoppers via the SP API. In Amazon parlance, this is often referred to as PII roles (PII = personally identifiable information). Amazon requires a sophisticated security concept here, which means that you have to answer numerous security questions correctly.
There are currently three “restricted roles” in Amazon Seller Central or Vendor Central:
Direct-to-Customer Delivery (Restricted): Generate shipping labels and send Amazon orders directly to customers.
Tax Invoicing (Restricted): Generate tax invoices to comply with tax regulations.
Tax Remittance (Restricted): Calculate and remit sales taxes.
Further information on the range of functions behind the individual roles can be found in the following links:

The technical and organizational measures described in the list of answers (e.g. security precautions regarding access protection, etc.) should actually be implemented in practice.
We have sample answers to all questions about the Seller Central developer profile:
“Public developer”: Amazon developers who want to sell their app to end customers or want to be listed in the Selling Partner App Store.
Applications from public developers are generally more complex and individual than applications from private developers. One of the reasons for this is that Amazon monitors public developers more strictly and wants more questions answered (e.g. differences to existing competitor products).
Helpful tips and exemplary answers for orientation so that you can answer these individual questions about your application/app relatively easily (public developers):
Describe the application or feature(s) you intend to build using the functionality in the requested roles.
Describe why you require Personally Identifiable Information to build your application or feature.
Specify the marketplaces (countries)
Describe how the app or feature(s) will benefit authorized users.
Do you currently support online retailers?
List the online channels you support today.
How many employees does your company have?
Do you intend to launch features that require personally identifiable information (PII) within 90 days?
What differentiates your new feature/application from other applications in the category?
Please describe any country-specific features you are providing.
Please list the Amazon programs you plan to support with your application or functionality.
Answers to security controls are identical for “private” and “public” developers.

Do you use network controls to prevent unauthorized access to Amazon data?
Do you restrict access to Amazon data based on the user’s activity or role?
Do you encrypt Amazon data in transit?

How long do you store personal data?

FAQ: Complete developer profile in Amazon Seller Central & Vendor Central
The Selling Partner API (SP-API) offers all Selling Partners and third-party developers some improvements over Amazon Marketplace Web Service (MWS), such as modernized, JSON-based REST API design standards. In the future, new API features will only be integrated into the SP API, with no more updates to MWS. Amazon MWS will no longer be available after December 31, 2023. All MWS developers must migrate to the Selling Partner API (SP-API) to avoid service disruptions.
The Amazon Developer Profile collects your company’s contact information, information about the data you need in the Amazon Services API, and security and usage information to ensure compliance with Amazon’s user guidelines and privacy policy.
After you have submitted your answers to the developer profile, Amazon will automatically create a support ticket for you. Amazon will then check your answers and give you feedback.
1) If you have submitted the answers without the support of our answer catalog, you will probably notice that Amazon often rejects your answers and requests new information several times. Since Amazon’s terms of use for developers have become much stricter, the answers submitted in the developer profile are often rejected.
2) As long as you closely follow our catalog of responses, Amazon will typically approve your developer request within a few business days. Depending on the company-specific adjustments you have made, Amazon may ask you about 1-2 details. We will also be happy to help you answer these questions.
It is permissible for you to hire a third-party provider if you need support in answering the questions in the Amazon developer profile and in implementing the corresponding measures. Amazon explicitly authorizes this in point 8 of their developer profile FAQ. Source: https://docs.developer.amazonservices.com/en_DE/faq.html
