The BirdDog Amazon Connector monitors your data for updates (add, change, or delete) and sends that to Amazon while also monitoring Amazon for new orders.
New orders placed on Amazon will go through the following workflow:

- The sales order is invoiced and posted
- Amazon Connector notifies Amazon that the order has been shipped and uploads any tracking numbers
