Amazon just pushed a pretty big update for sellers and devs working in Brazil. Now, when you use SP-API getOrders, you’ll actually see how buyers paid for their stuff. It cuts through Brazil’s wild payments mess — Pix, Boleto, rewards, you name it.
This isn’t some random, tiny change. If you sell on Amazon Brazil, you know how confusing payment data has been. Trying to see who paid with what, checking bank receipts, prepping for taxes…it’s felt like a bad puzzle with missing pieces. Until now, you either glued details together from random places, or wrestled with ugly spreadsheets. These new Amazon fields finally fill that hole, making payment data actually useful (and finally trustworthy).
So, whether you’re ready or not, this change lands August 28, 2025. That gives you time to fix integrations, update dashboards, and skip any last-minute "I’m doomed" coding nights. It’s not just developers who should care. Accountants, ops folks, and anyone dealing with Amazon Brazil sales just got an upgrade for their numbers.
In Brazil, handling orders without clear payment info is like driving in São Paulo with a broken GPS. These updates? They’re your turn-by-turn guide. No more guessing. No more squinting at statements. Here’s what’s up:
TL;DR
- Amazon’s Brazil getOrders API now has way more payment details
- See Pix, Boleto, rewards and more — clear as day
- Changes line up with shipment/payment info for better accuracy
- Sellers/devs need to update everything before Aug 28, 2025
- Better data = smoother accounting and less fraud
- This fits Amazon’s plan for more local-focused APIs
Why Amazon’s Brazil Payments Are a Whole Different Story
Brazil’s Payment Maze
Why’s this even a big deal? Here’s the backdrop. In most countries, credit cards rule. In Brazil, only like 32% of payments use cards. Most payments take a wild route—Pix (fast payments from the government), Boleto (printed slips you pay at banks), loyalty points, and other odd combos.
If you think splitting payments between debit and rewards is hard, try matching all that by hand in your Amazon exports!
The catch? Most global ecom APIs just treat payments the same. Brazilian sellers end up with weird, blank transactions in exports. That makes for shaky bookkeeping, sketchy fraud detection, and even messes with shipping schedules.
“Getting payment details right—especially in Brazil—really helps your cash flow and dodges surprises fast,” says Camila Silva, who leads product at a top Sao Paulo ecom integrator. She’s right: If you can’t tell if a Boleto cleared, how do you know it’s OK to ship?
Then toss in extra rules, and the need to link processor IDs (the CNPJ), and you see why simple = powerful.
Not Just Cosmetic
Let’s be real. This isn’t about some new fields you ignore. Amazon’s update goes deep. You get the full story, all the way to which payment type, processor IDs, payment status, rewards used, and all the wild combos. No more "other" in exports.
Example: Boleto orders get made before the shopper even pays at a bank. If you can’t see payment status, you’ll ship stuff that wasn’t paid for! Now, all the details land in getOrders, in one swoop. You don’t need to cross-check three reports like a detective.
The New Payment Fields
Payment Upgrade Details
So, here’s what’s new in your getOrders and getShipmentDetails calls:
- AcquirerId: This is the CNPJ, or Brazil’s business tax ID, for the bank or payment processor. You’ll need it for taxes and tracking payments.
- Payment Method Details: Now, you’ll see if it’s Pix, Boleto, or even a brand-new speedy payment method, with zero mystery.
- Status and Rewards: Not just "paid or not"—you get pending, completed, partial with points, or any mix you can imagine.
These fields aren’t just cut-and-paste of old stuff. They’re synced up, clearer, and show the same thing in orders and shipping, with nothing lost between the cracks.
What This Looks Like
Imagine you run a SaaS that scoops every order from Amazon Brazil. In the old days, you’d be guessing — is that payment "pending" a credit card, Pix, or Boleto? And your finance team would get cranky.
With the new version?
“We cut reconciliation time by 40%. Our system now flags slow Boleto payments and checks Pix payments fast,” says André C., CTO at a Brazilian analytics company.
Automation finally becomes real. You spot payment delays in a snap. And your support team can say why an order hasn’t shipped. No more "uh, it’s stuck?"
The Timeline
Get Ready or Get Burned
Countdown: August 28, 2025.
That’s when all getOrders and getShipmentDetails for Brazil get these new fields. Ignore the update, and things are gonna break. You’ll get dashboard errors, weird numbers, or your automations will just crash on new data it doesn’t know.
Integration Checklist:
- Check Amazon Docs: Keep Amazon SP-API’s update page saved and ready.
- Update Your Parsers: Your back end and database need to handle extra fields. A dumb parser bug here could mean trash data or, worse, money that vanishes from the books.
- Tune Your Dashboards: If you show payment/export data, bring these new fields front-and-center for your teams. Data only helps if people see it!
- Test With Real Orders: Don’t just do happy path testing. Try Pix, Boleto, and mixed payments to see if your reports or scripts still play nice.
Rate Limits
Amazon’s also cranking up rate limits for heavy API calls. Stuff like getmerchantlistingsalldata or getfbamyiunsuppressedinventory_data are now throttled harder. If you ping too fast, you’ll be waiting on Amazon—not the other way around.
Watch those x-amzn-ratelimit-limit headers. Put proper backoff in your scripts (seriously, don’t crash prod and get locked out during Black Friday).
Payment Data Benefits
Past the Tech
Here’s what you actually get:
- See Payment Type Fast: Just look and you’ll know if an order used Pix (fast!), Boleto (wait before you ship), or rewards (no more forgetting loyalty points).
- Speed Up Bookkeeping: Map Amazon payment data to your ERP or tax tools, no more sketchy guessing.
- Catch Fraud Early: Odd payment delays stand out. A Boleto order stuck pending? Time to check before you ship and get burned.
- Really Know Your Cash Flow: Pix comes in right away. Boleto drags on for days. Now you can see it split, and no more wondering when your money lands.
“Having payment info at API level turns chaos into order,” says Rodrigo Mendes, CTO at an Amazon seller group. “It’s the difference between panic and running smooth.”
One seller said his DSO reporting (how fast he gets paid) is now spot-on. High-volume shops say just a few days cut means tens of thousands more in working cash.
Amazon’s Localization Playbook
Look, this is just another step. Amazon is learning that one API can’t run the whole world. They’re rolling out local tweaks wherever it matters — for local payments, taxes, and buyer habits. Brazil gets first dibs, but India, the Middle East, even the EU will see this soon.
Upgrade Without Breaking Things
Steps for a Smooth Switch
Worried? Don’t freak. Move like this:
- Stage It: Use Amazon’s sandbox (when they make it live) to test endpoints with new payment fields. Better to bust it here than in live.
- Update Docs: Both your tech and user docs need to spell out the new fields. Don’t stop at the code.
- Tell Folks: Good change management means fewer angry messages. Accountants, analytics, and support need to get the new info. Do quick trainings.
- Keep Old Code Handy: Don’t drop your old logic all at once. Run old and new parsers at the same time so you can roll back if needed. Nobody wants broken finance exports at 2am.
If you want to make handling Amazon data smooth (especially for granular metrics, reconciliation, or reports), peek at AMC Cloud. It helps brands and agencies organize Amazon Marketing Cloud and sales data for smart moves.
Quick Warnings
- Handle Split Payments: In Brazil, folks pay using two or three ways (Pix, Boleto, rewards). Your code should track all combos, or your financials will be off.
- Future-Proof Your Parsing: Amazon always adds fields. Code with loose maps or field whitelists, so tiny tweaks next year don’t break everything.
- Mind Compliance: More detailed payment data means more rules, especially with CNPJ or personal info. Check with your tax/legal team about storage and sharing policies.
Recap
- Brazil’s payments are wild: Pix, Boleto, rewards rule, cards don’t.
- Amazon’s dropping new payment fields for getOrders and getShipmentDetails soon—August 28, 2025.
- Real data equals quicker books, sharper fraud checks, and way less manual digging.
- Devs and sellers need to check their systems, update dashboards, and follow Amazon’s docs for all the details.
- Remember your rate limits — don’t get throttled into a blackout.
- This isn’t the end. More local Amazon updates are coming as they localize everywhere.
Top Questions
1. What exactly is in the new getOrders for Brazil?
You get AcquirerId (the processor’s CNPJ), exact payment method (Pix, Boleto, etc.), payment status, and rewards info. It’s all your payment questions answered in one export.
2. How can I check if my integration will break?
Look at your code. If it only parses known fields, add schema checks and loosen it up. Use Amazon’s sandbox to test before August 28, 2025.
3. Is this just Brazil, or are more regions next?
Right now, it's Brazil. But Amazon’s playing local everywhere now, so expect India, the Middle East, maybe even EU to get these soon.
4. Will this make tax reporting in Brazil easier?
Yes! Clear CNPJ and payment data mean you can match up taxes fast. Way less review headaches.
5. I use a third-party dashboard. Do I need to change anything?
Maybe. Top dashboards will upgrade for this, but if yours is custom or small, ask your devs or vendor for an update by August 2025!
Five Steps for Payment Upgrade
- Audit Dependencies: List out every script, tool, or dashboard that touches getOrders or getShipmentDetails. Don’t forget stuff like backups.
- Update Data Models: Make room for all the new fields (AcquirerId, payment method, status, rewards, etc) in your database.
- Test Everything: Try every combo—Pix, Boleto, rewards, split payments—see if the new info lands right.
- Sync Up: Tell your whole team (accounting, analytics, partners) about the change. Run a short training or write-up.
- Watch Rate Limits: Start logging for rate limit headers. For lots of calls, spread them out so you don’t get blocked.
Pro tip: Start sooner, and this will be painless. Wait too long, and you’ll be patching bugs in a panic, with angry teammates pinging you.
Now, finally, seamless order reconciliation in Brazil isn’t just for the big guns. With these API updates, even indie sellers can keep up. Tune your integration, teach your staff, and watch for more Amazon updates—because more are coming.
