The Amazon Product feed types are complex but allowing the customization of any existing product category attribute. It is advisable to initially establish the Amazon product feed connection for only a few products. This will enable you to upload the product feed via API to Amazon, check and rectify any errors, and subsequently re-upload the feed again to correct them. Once the connection is fully configured and adjusted, you can then export your entire catalogue.

Initial Considerations

The Product Category feed type will allow you to create products not yet existing in the Amazon country market database. However, your items will probably already exist on Amazon and there's no need to create them again. Please, submit the Inventory Loader feed type first -> Inventory Loader - Add Offers via API.

Set up your product feed

Add the Amazon product feed to your profile grid. You can choose from several types of product feeds based on the product category. You may need to use more than one product feed category.

Amazon category list

You can check the Amazon category list in your Amazon account. 

You can use a search tool and look for your product's most appropriate Amazon category or you can check Product Classifier.

Adjust attribute mapping settings

• Product ID - EAN or UPC number is a mandatory attribute for each product
