Connect Amazon

Connect Amazon

Setting up your Amazon channel is the first step to syncing products, inventory, and orders through UniCon. This setup ensures that your Amazon catalog can be expanded to TikTok Shop, Walmart, and (soon) Shein seamlessly.


Step 1: Connect Your Amazon Seller Account 

  1. Select your Country of Operation from the dropdown.
    1. This defines which Amazon marketplace (e.g., Amazon US, Amazon UK, etc.) your account will connect with.
  2. Before connecting, make sure you fulfill these prerequisites:
    1. You have primary access to your Amazon Seller Central account.
    2. Your seller account is active (not suspended, inactive, or in vacation mode).
    3. You’re using an Amazon Professional Seller account with an updated payment method.
    4. You’re connecting only a professional seller account (Amazon Pay or other account types are not supported). 
  3. Check the box to accept Terms & Conditions.
Next Step: You’ll be redirected to Amazon Seller Central for authentication. 

Step 2: Authorize on Amazon Seller Central 

  1. Log in to your Amazon Seller Central account using your primary credentials.
  2. Approve the access request so UniCon can:
    1. Import products from Amazon.
    2. Sync orders and inventory.
    3. Route fulfillment to Amazon MCF when required.
Once connected successfully, you’ll be redirected back to UniCon. 

Step 3: Configure Product Settings 

Now that your account is connected, UniCon will guide you to Product Settings, where you define how your products should sync between Amazon, UniCon, and connected sales channels.

  1. Unique Product Identification Attribute: 
    1. Choose whether UniCon identifies your products via SKU or Barcode.
    2. This ensures accurate mapping and prevents duplicates.
    3. Best Practice: Use SKU if your catalog has well-structured identifiers.
  2. Continuous Product Sync:
    1. Toggle ON to automatically fetch products from Amazon into UniCon.
    2. Select the warehouse for inventory management.
    3. Helps keep product data and stock levels updated in real time.
  3. Create New Product: 
    1. Enable auto-create products in UniCon when importing from Amazon.
    2. Ensures your UniCon catalog always matches Amazon.
    3. Duplicate Listing: Decide how UniCon handles duplicates:
      1. Create – Allow duplicate product entries.
      2. Link – Connect duplicates to a single product record. 
    4. Variation Option (if enabled): Manage parent-child relationships (e.g., size, color variations).
Once these settings are saved, you’re ready to move to Product Management and start expanding your catalog.  

Step 4: Product Management 

It contains two operational fields: 
  1. Map Attributes
  2. Product Classification

A. Map Attributes 

It contains Global Mapping and Category Mapping. 

Global Mapping: It allows you to standardize core product attributes that appear across every connected channel and account. This ensures consistent product visibility, uniform details, and better control over multichannel listings.
You can map each global field with an existing attribute from your catalog or create a new custom attribute, if needed. 
Notes
To create a listing, make sure all required UniCon attributes are properly mapped.

Required UniCon Attributes include Title, Description, and Price. 
A few of the supported global attributes are as follows: 

Attribute
Description


Title
Main product name shown on all listings
Description 
Core product description
SKU
Unique product identifier used for inventory/order sync
Price
Base price for the product
Brand
Brand name to be displayed on the marketplace
Images
Primary and additional product images
Package Dimensions
Standardized item dimensions (height, width, depth)
Package Weight
Total weight used for shipping and logistics
List Price
Optional field to display MSRP or strike-through pricing
Size Chart
Link or reference to size guide, if required by category
Identifier
GTIN/UPC/EAN codes, depending on the marketplace requirement
External List Price
Price listed externally or on another platform (optional)
External SKU ID
Alternate SKU used for third-party tracking or sync
Is Not For Sale
Boolean toggle to temporarily delist without deleting
IS COD Allowed
Indicates whether Cash on Delivery is supported for the product


By setting up attribute mapping through this section, UniCon helps you ensure that no matter where you sell, your product data stays accurate, synced, and optimized for each platform.


  1. Add Attribute: If your catalog doesn’t contain the required field: 
    1. Click Add Attribute
    2. Define a new custom attribute with a label and a type
    3. It becomes immediately available for mapping
This is useful when a specific field, like Size Chart or External List Price, doesn’t exist in your product data structure.


Category Mapping: Selecting the right category is essential for product discoverability and compliance with marketplace standards. To begin with category-level mapping:  
  1. Add Category: 
    1. Click on Add Category
    2. You’ll have two options:
      1. Search: Type keywords to quickly locate a relevant category
      2. Browse: Navigate through the category tree to manually select the most accurate match. 

Once a category is selected, all its required and optional attributes will auto-load for mapping.

B. Product Classification

The Classification section allows you to organize your products into relevant categories for seamless listing across multiple sales channels. Proper classification ensures that each product is placed in the right category, helping improve visibility, searchability, and compliance with platform-specific listing requirements.

Classification Grid: All existing classifications are displayed in a simple, actionable grid with the following columns:
  1. Name: The name of the classification
  2. Assigned Products: The total number of products currently linked to this classification
  3. Actions: Options to:
    1. Edit: Modify the classification name or update assigned products
    2. Delete: Permanently remove a classification 

Adding a New Classification: To create a new classification, click the Add Classification button at the top of the page. 
You’ll be prompted to:
  1. Enter Classification Name: Use a clear, easy-to-recognize name that reflects the type of products it includes.
  2. Select Products: Choose the products you want to assign to this classification.
  3. Save: Once done, click Save to create the classification.
Editing a Classification: Under the Edit option in the Actions column, you can:
  1. Change the Classification Name: Update the name to better reflect the products it contains.
  2. Add or Delete Products: Modify the list of assigned products based on your inventory or channel requirements. 
To Add a Product: 
  1. Go to Edit under the Actions tab. 
  2. Select the product with the SKU or title that you wish to add to the classification.  
To Delete a Product: 
  1. Go to Edit under the Actions tab. 
  2. Deselect all the assigned products that you wish to remove from the classification.
  3. Click on Save. 
Classifications help streamline product management and listing workflows, especially when going multichannel. With UniCon, assigning the right category to the right product becomes quick, structured, and scalable. 

Step 5: Fulfillment Management 

This section includes two operational settings: 
  1. MCF Setting
  2. Order Settings

A. MCF Setting 

The MCF Setting section allows you to control how UniCon routes your orders to Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfillment (MCF). With MCF enabled, orders placed on TikTok Shop or Walmart are automatically fulfilled using Amazon’s global fulfillment network, saving you time and ensuring fast, reliable delivery. 
  1. Amazon MCF (Multi-Channel Fulfillment): With Amazon MCF, you can leverage: 
    1. Faster Fulfillment – Tap into Amazon’s world-class shipping network for 1-day, 2-day, or standard delivery options.
    2. Global Reach – Ship across regions using Amazon’s pre-established logistics infrastructure.
    3. Real-Time Tracking – Give customers live tracking updates on their orders.
    4. Cost-Efficiency – Access reduced fulfillment rates compared to setting up your own logistics.
    5. Reliability – Ensure orders are picked, packed, and delivered with Amazon’s accuracy and efficiency. 
How It Works in UniCon: 
  1. Orders placed on TikTok Shop or Walmart are synced into UniCon.
  2. If MCF is enabled, UniCon automatically forwards those orders to Amazon for fulfillment.
  3. Amazon picks, packs, and ships the products to your customer.
  4. UniCon updates the order status with real-time shipment details and tracking. 
Seller Tips: 
  1. Ensure the inventory is available in your Amazon fulfillment centers before enabling MCF.
  2. Choose MCF only if your catalog is already stocked with Amazon FBA inventory.
  3. Monitor costs — while MCF is cost-effective, some bulky or low-margin items may be less suited.
  4. Keep your return policies aligned — orders fulfilled by MCF follow Amazon’s shipping and return standards. 

B. Order Settings 

The section allows you to configure how UniCon manages incoming orders from connected sales channels. These settings ensure seamless syncing, correct routing to Amazon MCF, and full control over fulfillment workflows. 


  1. MCF Fulfillment Policy: Choose how Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfillment (MCF) processes your orders when inventory is limited: 
    1. Fill All – Amazon will only fulfill the order if all items are in stock. If even one item is unavailable, the order will remain unfulfilled.
    2. Fill or Kill – Amazon will attempt to fulfill the order, but if any item is unavailable, the entire order is cancelled.
    3. Fill All Available – Amazon will fulfill as many items as possible from the order. Unavailable items will remain pending or require alternative handling. 
  2. Order Fulfillment: Turn on this option to allow UniCon to automatically send eligible orders to Amazon MCF for fulfillment.
  3. Blank Box: Enable this option to ensure orders fulfilled via MCF are shipped in unbranded packaging (no Amazon branding), ensuring a neutral customer experience.
  4. Block Amazon Logistics: Enable this option to prevent orders from being shipped by Amazon Logistics carriers. Useful if your customers or sales channels restrict Amazon-labeled delivery.
  5. Custom Comment Order: Add special handling instructions, comments, or custom notes that will accompany the order in the fulfillment process. Example: “Fragile item — handle with care” or “Gift wrap this order.” 
By fine-tuning your Order Settings, you maintain full control over how orders flow from channels into UniCon and are fulfilled through Amazon MCF or other logistics options. This ensures a balance of efficiency, flexibility, and compliance with marketplace requirements.
