Accessing Amazon’s product catalog using MWS

This enables you to access product information from Amazon’s catalog, apply that information to products, and create new products from Amazon listings.

MWS is recommended if you are shipping with Amazon. This does have some restrictions; namely, you get one image (not all) and no descriptions or bullet points.

1. On Sellercloud’s Amazon Settings page, check Use MWS to Get limited info from Amazon > Save Settings.

Importing Amazon listings

• After the API connection has been established, Sellercloud will start to periodically pull your active listings report (you can also manually request the report). After the report is pulled, your existing listings can be created in Sellercloud with all their product information. This is often the first step to create the catalog because many merchants have all or most of their products listed on Amazon. Read how to import listings here.
• If your Sellercloud product catalog already has the products in the Amazon listings, this step is not necessary. However, sometimes the same product may have a different SKU identifier in Amazon than Sellercloud. It is recommended to discuss best practices for importing such SKUs with your Sellercloud account manager.

Setting up Amazon shipping method mapping

Amazon has several different generic shipping options for customers to choose from. You may want to map those options to the shipping methods and carriers you use. For example, if the customer selects ‘Standard,’ the mapping can have the order marked as ‘UPS Ground.’ Learn more about Amazon shipping method mapping.

Enabling automatic upload and download controls

The Amazon Settings page has controls for automation:

1. Inventory control should be enabled when you are certain your inventory is accurate and your product has been enabled for Amazon.
2. Enable order download and tracking upload when you are ready to ship Amazon orders.
