Amazon Professional Seller account
- Before linking the Amazon channel in Shoppingfeed, it is essential to possess an Amazon Professional Seller Central account.
- With a Professional Seller account, users gain access to Amazon Marketplace Web Service (MWS), allowing for seamless integration with various applications and systems, e.g. Shoppingfeed.
- Sellers can upgrade their account to Professional status through the My Services section within their Amazon Seller Account. This subscription level is suitable for businesses looking to scale their operations and take advantage of additional selling tools provided by Amazon.
SKUs
- Each product, including its variations, must be assigned a unique SKU in your storefront.
Identifiers (UPC, EAN, ASIN, GTIN, GTIN Exception)
- Products in your storefront must have barcodes assigned to them. Without a barcode, the product will not list and will result in an error. Find out how to add barcodes on each of our supported e-commerce platforms:
