# Why Does Flexport Need Access to My Amazon Seller Central Account?

Flexport will ask for limited access to your Amazon Seller Central account to move forward with a shipment going to an Amazon FBA warehouse. With limited access to your Seller Central account, Flexport can input necessary information into your Amazon [shipment plan](https://www.flexport.com/help/amazon-us-shipment-plan/) (like pallet dimensions), and download [FBA](https://www.flexport.com/glossary/fulfillment-by-amazon/) and pallet [labels](https://www.flexport.com/help/amazon-fba-labeling-requirements/) as needed. 

See [Sharing Seller Central](https://www.flexport.com/help/amazon-seller-central-access/) for instructions on how to send the correct permissions to Flexport. 

Note that sharing permissions are only available for professional Amazon selling accounts.
