General

Product Field Bulk Update Column Description
Enabled AmazonEnabled This setting controls whether Sellercloud can Update Listings on Amazon Automatically. If this option is enabled, and the Allow Inventory Update and Allow Price Update (Regular) boxes are checked on the Amazon Account Settings page, Sellercloud will regularly update information on Amazon.

Sellercloud will send inventory updates with 0 quantity to Amazon for all products that are not Amazon-enabled. To prevent this, Disconnect such products from the inventory.
Merchant SKU AmazonMerchantSKU The product’s Amazon-specific SKU. This field is used to map alternate Amazon SKUs to their corresponding products in Sellercloud. Only required if the Amazon SKU differs from the Sellercloud Product ID.

Once your products have ASINs in Sellercloud, you can use the Get Info From Amazon action to import most of the required product information listed in this table directly from Amazon to Sellercloud.
