Listings 

This section provides a comprehensive guide to listing and managing your Shopify products on Amazon using the CedCommerce Amazon Channel app. You'll gain insights into key functionalities that simplify product listing, allowing for seamless integration between your Shopify store and Amazon.

With these tools at your disposal, you can optimize your product listings efficiently and maintain a hassle-free selling experience on Amazon.

Once you import your Shopify products into the app and set up your preferences, navigate to the Listing page from the main menu. 

Understanding the Product Listing Page

The Product Listing page lets you manage your Shopify products on Amazon. You can view your Amazon listings and make changes as needed to keep them accurate and up to date.

Understanding Listing Status

The Amazon Listing Status shows your product's current state on Amazon. Each status tells you if your product is listed, ready, and available for sale. Here’s a breakdown of the different Amazon Listing Statuses and what actions you can perform:

1. All

Status Meaning: All your products in the app

Actions

• Edit: Modify and update your product listings to ensure accuracy and optimize their visibility.

• List: Add new products to your inventory and create listings to make them available for sale.

• Resolve Errors: Address any errors or issues associated with your product listings to maintain their compliance and improve their performance.

2. Not-listed

Status Meaning: The item is not listed on Amazon.

Action: Upload the product. The CedCommerce Amazon Channel app will automatically pull the Shopify SKU and ISBN, UPC, and GTIN from your catalog and perform a lookup to check if an ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number) already exists. You will be informed that this process is running.

Inactive:

Status Meaning: The item is listed on Amazon but is not fit for sale.

Actions: For these products, you can update offer information, update product information, or delete the product. This includes updating Price, Business Price, Quantity, and Offer Start/End dates for selected SKUs. If there are multiple SKUs (e.g., multiple child SKUs with existing products on Amazon), you can provide the necessary offer info for each SKU. The initial values for price, quantity, and offer start/end dates will be automatically filled in from Seller Central, and you can adjust prices based on your Shopify catalog.

Incomplete:

Status Meaning: The item is missing some information.

Action: Update product information. You can update Price, Quantity, Map Attributes, and Offer Start/End dates for selected SKUs. If multiple SKUs exist (e.g., multiple child SKUs with existing products on Amazon), you can provide the required offer info for each SKU.
