Account Management

The Account section is the central hub for managing Amazon Seller Central accounts efficiently. You can add multiple Amazon accounts, making it easy to oversee different business operations from a single interface.

This section allows you to:

• Connect new Amazon Seller Central accounts.
  
  

• Disconnect accounts when they are no longer needed.
  
  

• Edit account details to ensure accurate integration.
  
  

With these tools, you can seamlessly manage all your Amazon accounts within the app, ensuring smooth operations and better organization.

Setting Up Multiple Amazon Accounts 

If you have more than one Amazon account that needs to be linked with your Shopify store, follow these steps:

Step 1: Click on Connect

Click on "Connect"
This will take you to the new account onboarding page where you can begin the setup process.

Follow the Onboarding Guide
Once the app is successfully installed, the onboarding process will guide you through the necessary steps.

Click "Connect"
If your Amazon seller account meets all the requirements, your Shopify store will be successfully linked to Amazon.

Troubleshooting

• If the connection fails, click “Retry Connecting” after ensuring all prerequisites are met.

• If issues persist, reach out to us at support@cedcommerce.com 

Step 2: Amazon Account Setup

• Choose a unique name for your Amazon account that you can easily remember and differentiate from your other accounts
  

• 
  
  

• Then click on “Next.”

Begin by describing your sales journey on Amazon. Choose your business model:

• Manufacturer: If you are the entity responsible for producing products 

• Dropshipper: If you market and sell products to customers without holding inventory, and the products are directly shipped from a supplier or wholesaler to the buyer.

• Retailer: If your business entity sells goods directly to consumers.

• Reseller: If you purchase products or goods from a manufacturer or distributor and then sell them to consumers or other businesses, often without significant modification.

• Other: If your business model doesn’t align with any of the options mentioned above, kindly specify the appropriate type here.

If you are already selling on Amazon, the Ced app will help you manage those listings via our app settings. 

Note: While you can state your preferences for current Amazon listings here, you can also access these preferences in the Settings section later, to make or update any information in the future!

If you choose “listings are already present on Amazon”:

• You can link your Shopify products to your current Amazon listings using SKUs or Barcodes. Optimize results by choosing both metrics.

• Optimize sync by choosing either FBA or FBM.
  
  

• Individually select product data (Price, Inventory, Product Details, Images) to sync between Shopify and Amazon.

• Choose what the status of the product will be on Amazon if it is deleted from Shopify. This helps prevent overselling and disappointed customers, in case you have stopped selling a product or keeping stock of it!

• Mention if your brand is registered or approved by Amazon, and share the brand name to help us sync accurately. 

• Please mention if you have used an integration app before this, and you’re ready to complete setup!

Note: If there are no pre-existing Amazon listings for your products (identical SKU or Barcode), your items will be listed as New Listings.

Offer: When another seller has already listed the same product using the same Barcode, your products will be presented as an offer within the existing listing by that seller. Gain further insights into this process, available here.

Note: Account activation may take around 2-3 days.
