You know the drill: bringing advertisers onto Amazon Ads used to be a mess. Think ordering coffee somewhere you don’t speak the language. It was slow. You got stuck with a pile of forms and steps you never even needed. Every new advertiser felt like hiking up a hill with rocks in your shoes.
And if you wanted to run things in other countries, or manage all your ad types in one place? Forget about it. You’d have a dozen browser tabs open and your inbox blowing up by lunchtime.
But now? Everything’s changing. Picture rolling out global advertiser accounts—billing, user roles, the whole shebang—without clicking around the Console at all. You’re not dreaming. Amazon Ads API’s new Account Registration tool actually does this. The days of endless forms are almost over. Welcome to the API era, where wallflowers can sit out. If you love speed and ditching old habits, this one’s calling your name.
Here’s the news: API users can now create, tweak, and manage Advertiser Accounts at huge scale, anywhere, for every Amazon ad thing—ADSP, Sponsored Ads, you name it. Stop clicking forever. It’s about shipping, not button-mashing. Agencies with tons of clients, SaaS tools wanting to automate, or ad-tech folks building new stuff—you’re running at code speed now.

"Amazon Ads' new API lets you scale advertiser onboarding globally—zero Consoles, infinite possibilities."
TL;DR
- You can now onboard advertisers at scale using the API. No Console-only headaches.
- Works with both ADSP and Sponsored Ads, in every Amazon country.
- Accounts are unified—one ID for reporting, campaigns, billing, everything.
- Manage and set up advertisers via API. Much faster and easier.
- API power is equal to Console, and actually gives you more options.
Next-Gen Onboarding
From Console to Code
Let’s be honest—until now, setting up Amazon Ads campaigns was a pain. You had to log in, click through menu after menu, fill details, then repeat it all for every client and each country. It worked, but it felt like using a bike to haul a sofa. It was possible, but way too slow. The new Account Registration API flips all that. Now it just takes one API call. No GUI, no wait, no random roadblocks.
Picture onboarding ten—or a hundred—clients in different countries. What took days (or weeks) now takes minutes. One script, and boom, it’s done. The world wants quick onboarding, not paperwork. This delivers just that.
All-in-One Account Management
One of the best parts? You no longer need to jump between tools. The new workflow brings it all together. Amazon DSP, Sponsored Ads, new countries—just one Advertiser Account runs the show. You get control over everything: campaign setups, users, billing, and deep reporting. No more extra logins. No more hunting down numbers in five dashboards.
Amazon finally copied how ad-tech and SaaS shops move fast. This isn’t just a patch. They rebuilt it for real speed.
API Parity and Scale
Here’s the big unlock: the API now has all the powers of the Console—and more. Bulk registration, huge cross-market actions, complicated stuff? The UI couldn’t keep up, and your fingers never stood a chance. It was only fine for small jobs—not when you needed real size. Now, you can create, review, update, and manage advertiser accounts the same as Console, but way, way faster. Put the mouse away—you’re on rocket fuel now.
“Registration and management are fully automated. For us, that means we onboard lots of clients the same way, all behind the scenes.” — Programmatic agency CTO
SaaS and agencies can now automate every bit of client onboarding. It’s repeatable and reliable. No more copy-paste fails or lost afternoons.
Why This Unlocks Turbocharged Growth
Why Did Amazon Change It?
Amazon Ads loves to move quick. Brands, agencies, everyone wanted easier, faster ways to ramp up. In 2024, nobody should need to onboard by hand, especially not for worldwide clients. The old way—every product and country stuck in its own bubble—was killing teams. It slowed everything, made campaigns late, drove up costs, and frustrated everyone. The new API is a true fix, not just a facelift.
The Pain It Fixes
Think back to each time your team went into a new market or added a new brand. It was logging into Consoles, copy-pasting info, fighting with portals, and crossing your fingers nothing slipped through the cracks. Every country felt like starting over. Now? The API lets you add account creation, config, even billing, inside your own app or tools. One call. One system. Suddenly, worldwide scale feels easy.
Imagine this: instead of console grunt work, agencies or platforms can automate the whole thing. Every new market isn’t a fresh mountain—it’s just another line of code. Feels a lot like using an escalator instead of climbing stairs.
"Onboarding is now an instant, invisible API handshake, not a twice-a-year Console nightmare.” — SaaS Product Lead
Real Example: Agency Scaling
Picture a global ad agency bringing on 50 advertisers in five Amazon countries. Last year, the team would be juggling Consoles, fielding a million questions, copying endless data—days or weeks lost. Mistakes were guaranteed. With the API, the tech folks build one onboarding script. They automate invites, set up billing, handle permissions. Repeat for every new client, every market. That team can breathe. Less busywork. More strategy. Probably the first lunch break in a year.
And SaaS teams? Now they own the entire setup, end to end. Their clients sign up, get a smooth ride, and onboarding never holds them back. Everyone’s moving faster—and happier.
From Silos to Scale
What’s a Unified Advertiser Account?
Old Amazon Ads accounts were like rows of file drawers—every country and product had its own locked spot, keys always missing. That’s over. Now it’s a global, all-product Advertiser Account. You can get to it from Console or API. It covers campaigns, billing, reports, user roles—yes, all in one place.
You’re not limited by region or product. Connect Sponsored Ads and ADSP. Expand to new countries. Handle huge multi-country brands. Every move goes through the same structure. This is the HQ for your whole ad world. No more old systems. No more chasing scattered data.
One Account, Global Reach
Global agencies and brands want life simple and fast. Now one Advertiser Account does it all. Multiple countries, every product, shared billing, unified teams. Last year, you’d juggle ten accounts for one brand’s regions. This year? One single account. No more hacks or Excel nightmares.
One account ID rules it all. Reporting, analytics, performance—everyone sees the full picture, fast. Finance only needs to look in one place. All those hand-made spreadsheets? Gone.
API-First Everything
Amazon’s API is your command center now. Create, update, and fetch advertiser accounts. Run campaigns. Invite users. Set up billing. Script any workflow. Cut out delays. You can onboard faster than ever and never lose a step. No more typos at 2am, either.
For SaaS tools or agencies with hundreds of advertisers? Your whole system can work around the clock, updating and managing everything as needed.
“Before, onboarding global brands took forever. Now, our API workflow multiplies our reach.” — Ad Ops Specialist, Global Brand
There’s also less training and fewer support headaches. Your tech stack grows, but onboarding gets easier—not harder.

Technical Flow: Steps
If you’re building a tool, integrating with the API, or just like the nerdy stuff—here’s how it works:
- Authenticate: Get your Amazon Ads API token using OAuth. This locks down security so only the right people or apps get in.
- Register Account: Hit the account registration endpoint. Drop in your info: advertiser business details, billing, country, ad product choices. Basically, you’re filling the “new client” form in seconds.
- Get Account ID: Amazon sends you a unique Advertiser ID. This ID unlocks everything—reporting, campaign pushes, billing, and more.
- Set User Access: Once live, the API can invite users—your staff, your client, even outside systems—with all the right roles. The whole journey can be automated from welcome email to live ads.
- Go Live: Use that master Advertiser ID to launch campaigns, update creatives, adjust bids, pull reports—across every ad type and country, no special tricks.
Why This Rocks for API Users
Before, you needed real people jumping between portals. It slowed everything and bottled up tools that should’ve been fast and slick. Now, teams building their own dashboards or plugging tools into the flow can handle everything end-to-end, in-house.
Picture it: a SaaS app where a new user signs up, gets registered as an advertiser, gets their billing sorted, permissions granted, and their dashboard comes alive—in seconds, not weeks. The onboarding is your advantage now.
GitHub, Beta: What Devs Need
Amazon is opening this API with a closed beta run. Docs are already over on GitHub and Amazon’s site. If you’ve got Amazon DSP access, this is your cue—get ready to move fast. You can be API-native before it opens up to everyone. It’s a clear jump ahead for your clients and your own processes.
Early users aren’t just saving time—they’re changing what “good onboarding” looks like across ad-tech.
“API-first onboarding is where ad-tech grows. Manual onboarding is so 2023.”
Quick Wins
Faster Onboarding, Less Wait
Imagine this: you want to launch in Brazil and Germany. Last year, you’d maybe get there this quarter. Now? Accounts created, billing set, campaigns ready before Friday—thanks to automation. You can move as fast as you spot an opportunity now.
Billing, Users, and Reports
These new accounts are packed with better controls. Each global account only needs one billing contact. Finance won’t be chasing invoices everywhere. User management is all automated. No more waiting on a single admin for days. The reporting is deep—cross-country stats, ROI checks, and campaign performance—with everything in one place.
This all means less mess, fewer mistakes, and total clarity. The ops team can finally get the dashboard they deserve. And clients won’t get lost.
Less Admin, More Automation
Think of all the hours you just saved. Human admins can finally focus on strategy or get some coffee. Agencies who handle loads of onboarding every month will see admin costs drop, volumes go up, and mistakes almost vanish. Automation stacks up the benefits fast.
“We auto-registered 20 advertisers in under an hour. Console can’t come close—not in speed or accuracy.” — VP, Ad-Tech DevOps
That’s the magic of automation: quicker wins, cleaner data, a pace that nobody could match by hand.
