We are doing the bookkeeping in Xero for a client and asked for copies of Amazon invoices to know where to book the purchases and whether there was VAT.
The client has suggested we have access to their Amazon account to pull these (although a separate issue is that you have to request VAT invoices for Amazon marketplace).
Does anyone have access to their client's shopping accounts to do this?
The client has suggested we get Lastpass.com which secures passwords but I don't want to run everything through this for my practice just to meet this client's request so any alternative suggestions would be appreciated please. The client seems to want to avoid emailing them to us or uploading to Xero themselves.

Is it laziness or is the client struggling with tech? I have one client who is not tech savvy at all and I have to regularly explain to her how to retrieve her bills and invoices. Most of the time it involves resetting passwords as she would have forgotten or lost them.
My approach is no invoice no VAT claim and anything I can't identify goes to their director's loan account. It's amazing how many invoices clients manage to send just before the deadline for the VAT return.
They need to set up an Amazon Business account. Easier to retrieve vat invoices.
And yes we have access and obtain Amazon info (and many other portals) on behalf of many clients and charge accordingly.
Why would you not if they will pay you for the extra work?
It’s all tech in the future innit... ;)
