How It Works

A Managed Pipeline from Amazon to Your Printers

ShipStream Data Border handles the complexity of Amazon Buy Shipping so your WMS doesn't have to. Your systems send placeholder tokens. We fetch the PII, generate the label, and print it — all within a secure, managed boundary.

WMS sends a shipping request with placeholder tokens to the secure cloud gateway
Step 1

Your WMS Sends a Label Request

Your warehouse management system calls our API with shipping details using placeholder tokens like {{ship_to_name}} and {{ship_to_address1}} instead of real customer data. Your system never handles Amazon customer PII.

  • Simple REST API call with carrier credentials and placeholder tokens
  • Supports EasyPost, ShipStation, Shippo, UPS, FedEx, USPS, and DHL
  • Your WMS uses its own carrier accounts and rate agreements
Secure cloud gateway processes order data from Amazon and generates a shipping label for the carrier
Step 2

Data Border Generates the Label

Inside the managed pipeline, Data Border securely fetches the customer shipping address from Amazon, injects it into the carrier request, and generates the shipping label. The response your WMS receives is fully scrubbed — names, addresses, and phone numbers are replaced with [REDACTED].

  • Customer PII fetched on-demand from Amazon using single-use tokens
  • PII injected into carrier request and discarded from memory after use
  • Your WMS receives only tracking numbers, shipment IDs, and redacted data
Shipping label flows from the secure cloud directly to the warehouse thermal printer
Step 3

Labels Print Directly on Your Printers

The finished label — with the real customer address — is stored securely and delivered straight to your warehouse printers via Device Hub. Labels exist only in memory during transmission. Nothing is cached or written to disk on your print server.

  • Device Hub is a lightweight Windows application — available as a desktop app or Windows service
  • Labels delivered over encrypted TLS connection directly to your printers
  • Supports thermal label printers (Zebra, etc.) and standard laser printers

What This Means for Your Business

By keeping Amazon customer PII inside a managed pipeline, you simplify your operations and reduce your compliance surface.

Amazon PII Never Enters Your Systems

Customer names, addresses, and phone numbers stay inside the managed pipeline. Your WMS, databases, and network storage never see unredacted Amazon customer data.

No Integration to Build or Maintain

Access Amazon Buy Shipping through hosted, compliant infrastructure. No API application to register, no token management to implement, no compliance infrastructure to operate.

Complete Audit Trail

Every PII access, label generation, and print job is logged with order ID, tenant ID, timestamps, and IP addresses. Audit records are available for compliance reviews.

Reprints Without Re-fetching

Original labels are stored securely in tenant-isolated storage. Reprint directly to any printer without calling Amazon again. Reprint events are tracked in the audit trail.
