Want in on a secret? The fastest way to skyrocket your Amazon brand isn’t endless marketing or meeting people. Really, it’s just being able to register and run advertiser accounts anywhere—using code, without doing stuff by hand.
Remember those days of living in spreadsheets? Clicking like a robot in the Amazon Ads Console just to set up a new advertiser? Nightmare. Now, Amazon has handed over the toolbox to anyone who can use an API. You get more power, more reach, and no more wasted clicks. Growth and speed, finally together. Welcome to the new Amazon Ads account world.
Let me explain how using the new Amazon Ads API makes campaign management easier, way smarter, and totally worldwide. You’ll see why struggled onboarding is now for dinosaurs. If you’re still doing it by hand, get ready to eat someone else’s dust.
If you’ve juggled more than two Amazon campaigns, you know the pain. So many logins. Registering each account one-by-one. Now, you can leave behind the circus act. With the Advertiser Account support in the Amazon Ads API, here’s what you get:
It used to be buried and slow in the Ads Console. No automating at all. But now? Agencies and ad-tech folks just call the API—and bam! Brand new advertiser accounts pop up in seconds.
Don’t just trust me. An Amazon Ads product manager said: “Advertiser Account in the API is a force multiplier for agencies. It turns the onboarding process from days to an API call.”

Got a few accounts? Sure, you can click your way through. But if you’ve gotta kick off dozens, even hundreds? You can’t keep up without the API. Imagine onboarding 100 clients and getting their campaigns live in hours. That used to take weeks.
Using the API means less slog, more winning. Ditch the admin grind and let your team shine where it matters.
* “You don’t automate account management because you’re lazy. You automate it because you’re busy winning elsewhere.” *
Down to brass tacks. The Advertiser Account bit in the Amazon Ads API lets you:
This is a massive shift. Before, you had to suffer through every single registration by hand, messing in dashboards. Now? Let code do it, and keep your hands free. Just script it, go digital, and leave the dashboard headaches behind.
Not just for putting in new accounts. The API lets you:
A big ad-tech provider switched, and get this—they cut onboarding time by 90%. Now even launching campaigns and billing is instant. Their ops team stopped pushing paper and started winning.
Who should care? Anyone running DSP or Sponsored Ads at scale.
Eric Duong, who worked at Amazon Ads, put it best: “APIs are the gateway drug to scalability. Any agency not shifting to automated onboarding is leaving growth on the table.”
Here’s your new win: every country and ad product (DSP and Sponsored) now works with the API. You tie it all together. One flow for everything. Less tool hopping, zero manual mistakes.
Imagine: your system pumps out reports, updates billing, and brings on new brands in any region—all from one setup.
Clicks lead to mistakes. Forget to copy a number, miss a field, and suddenly, you have a week-long headache. The API stops all that:
From early API users, the internal data showed 55% fewer onboarding mistakes versus manual work. That’s a big drop.
Now your team can forget registrations, billing set-up, and permission headaches. They can actually build campaigns and grow your business—and their own careers.
No more “Did we add the finance email?” Stop the burnout and start scaling with a smile.
Real talk: Agency X (NYC-based) tried the API. They registered and activated 50+ advertiser accounts in seven days. Used to take five full workdays for five people. Now? They move faster, serve more clients, and launched 20% more campaigns last quarter. If you’re not jumping on this, you’re already behind.
The Amazon Ads API basically covers it all. You can:
Every detail you need is in Amazon’s docs—every call, every error code, every example. Devs can jump right in.
For real, if you’re deep in API work, the Console is just for quick checks or fixing issues. The rest is code—onboarding, ops, reporting. You can easily do 10x the work with the same team, no sweat.
Here’s a quick look at onboarding the API way:
A top DSP boss said: “Registering and launching new cross-border campaigns used to be my Monday. Now it’s my Monday coffee break.”
You run a SaaS tool for Amazon sellers. Before: everyone onboarded by hand, filled out forms, waited ages. Now: client hooks up their store, and—done in minutes—accounts are registered, billing sorted, access granted. No human gets stuck. That’s how you stand out in 2024.
Bottom line: the future of Amazon Ads is all about APIs. If you’re still onboarding old-school, you’ve already lost ground. This isn’t some passing fad—it’s the new must-have for top agencies and software platforms. Don’t blink and miss it.
Q1: Do I need to stop using the Ads Console now?
A: No way! It’s still handy for checks. But for anything big or repetitive, the API wins.
Q2: Is this available in every Amazon ad country?
A: Yep. You can register and run accounts anywhere Amazon runs ads. No more country-by-country mess.
Q3: What if I’m a DSP Seat user?
A: You get choice—do it with Console or API. API just saves hours. Tons of them.
Q4: Can billing and user management be automated too?
A: Yes. Assign billing and roles for any advertiser, straight from your codebase.
Q5: How does this compare to other ad registration APIs (like Linden Lab’s)?
A: Amazon’s is built for advertisers. It links right to campaigns, billing, and reporting. No more workarounds, just pure scaling.
Q6: Where can I find technical specs for implementation?
A: The whole doc is right here.
API onboarding: work smarter, grow faster. Haven’t switched to the Amazon Ads API yet? Here’s your nudge. The clickers always lose to the coders.
