Setting up Amazon

Amazon platform

A platform has to be selected when the account is created. However, the platform can be changed here. If you have a European Marketplaces Account, then you can carry out the settings for each platform on which you want to offer your products separately. For further information, refer to the section Amazon platform.

Seller ID

Enter the seller ID that you have received from Amazon. If you have a European Marketplaces Account, then the same seller ID is used for every platform.

Merchant token

Enter the merchant token that you can find on Seller Central.

Email address

Enter the email address that is used as user name for the Seller Central account.
Important: All plentymarkets email addresses which are used to send messages to Amazon have to be authorised first within your Seller Central account on Amazon.

Active

Activate the interface.
Only activate once all of the settings have been carried out. This prevents incorrect data from accidentally being transferred.

B2B

Select to activate this account for Amazon Business.

Area Initial settings

Client

Select which client should be used for orders from Amazon.

SKU structure

The SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) is a unique reference number for all items and item variations on Amazon.
Select one of the following options:
Variation ID
GTIN if available, otherwise variation ID
Variation number if available, otherwise variation ID
The selected setting only goes into effect for items that are exported to Amazon for the first time. Amazon and your online store exchange data based on these SKUs.
Important: Do not change this setting after items have been transferred to Amazon. If you do so, communication, e.g. stock updates, between plentymarkets and Amazon will no longer be possible.
Important: If you have already started selling your items on Amazon and now you want to start selling them with plentymarkets, you have to assign already existing SKUs in the Item » Edit item » Open item » Tab: Variation ID » Tab: Settings » Tab: Availability menu.

Example: Setting 0, net stock 8\. plentymarkets transfers 8.
Items with the setting Limited to net stock are not taken into consideration.
