Enable or Disable Products for Amazon

Overview

The Product Status Enabled for Amazon is responsible for the automatic inventory and price updates Sellercloud sends to Amazon. All your merchant-fulfilled products created under an Amazon-Enabled Company have an Amazon Properties Page where you can see and edit this status. If the Allow Inventory Update and Allow Price Update (Regular) boxes are checked on that page, Sellercloud will regularly send information for all enabled SKUs to Amazon.

When you enable a product for Amazon, you allow Sellercloud to pick it up for automatic updates. If you disable a product that has been enabled for a while, Sellercloud will send one last update with 0 available quantity and then stop. This is useful if you prefer to manage your inventory directly on Amazon or use other connected software. Re-enabling a product restarts inventory updates from Sellercloud.
