Selling items on Amazon - Accounts Advice

Looking for some advice from you helpful people 
I run a website design and hosting business and for all billing/orders/etc, we use an online package that's geared towards the web hosting industry as this automatically sets up hosting once paid for, etc.
Anyway, we've recently started to sell design orientated software on Amazon and have been quite successfull in doing so. So, we want to find a way of tieing this in with our billing software in order to keep everything simple (i.e. accounts).
So which of these three options would be better?
1) Create a generic account in our billing software and call it 'Amazon Orders'. Every time we get an order from Amazon, generate the invoice under this account (only downside is the 'invoice to' will say 'Amazon Orders')
2) Create a new account for every Amazon Customer and issue them with their own invoice. Two issues really with this - we don't get supplied with customers email address which is required by our billing software and we would need to generate a password for each customer.
3) Find a completely seperate system for issuing invoices.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
