You must register as a Selling Partner API developer before you can register your Selling Partner API application. The procedure for registering as a developer varies slightly depending on the type of application that you plan to create. Developer applications are grouped into three types:
All public applications. Applications that are publicly available and are authorized by sellers or by vendors using OAuth.
Private seller applications. Applications for sellers that are available only to your organization, and are self-authorized.
Private vendor applications. Applications for vendors that are available only to your organization, and are self-authorized.
