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
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.
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.
So, here’s what’s new in your getOrders and getShipmentDetails calls:
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.
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?"
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:
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).
Here’s what you actually get:
“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.
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.
Worried? Don’t freak. Move like this:

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!
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.
