Hello,
I find it extremely concerning that if as a seller, I'm not meeting the target rate of below 5% for uploading an invoice within 24 hours of a customer payment, I am at risk of deactivation.
If this is such a sensitive metric that can lead to de-activation of an account, why isn't there a notification alert from Amazon requesting sellers to upload the invoice within 24 hours of the payment being made with the order I.D for said invoice each time? We get an email alert to respond to buyers messages within 24 hours of the buyer message for instance.
As sellers, we have a host of duties to perform. Do they expect us to check the orders page every few hours to ensure this mundane task is promptly met within a very narrow timeframe each time? This is extremely unreasonable in my humble opinion. I would like to adhere to this, however, life gets in the way, and without notification prompts, this is very difficult to adhere to ALL OF THE TIME.
Is there a way to receive an alert from Amazon each time an order is placed requiring an invoice to be uploaded?
I have auto invoices set up for all the countries where I have VAT registration, but occasionally, you get orders from other EU countries that do not have VAT registration, thus making this task difficult to adhere to without fail.
my orders that require an invoice do come through saying - invoice required
But you need to go to the orders page and check it right? I'd like to be able to set up alerts - in the same way, we always receive buyer message alerts to respond within 24 hours.
Not just there. The "sold" email also states "Sold, dispatch now and upload invoice:"
You should be easily able to set up an alert using your email program. This can be a siren sound if you wish a flashing message, a pop-up rabbit, whatever.
The main thing is to take ownership of this.
Yes, I'd like to know how I can set it up. Under the information about the VAT invoices, there is no information about this as an alert, unless I've missed something. Nothing under notification preferences either..
there is no official alert available.
You need to use your email client as I explained earlier.
As the other poster said use your email client to set up notifications.
Alternatively have a daily routine where you check once or twice a day for any new orders which require an invoice.
Sorry for my ignorance, but I don't know what 'email client' is?
I have been selling on Amazon now for 6 years, this I have NEVER download as a task in that time I have maybe 5 requests from customers asking for an invoice which I have downloaded , so I am not sure why Amazon even bother to measure this.
Thanks for flagging this @Seller_C014gz2CtNWhK, I will pass this feedback to our partner team.
