Upload Shopify products to Amazon in bulk using a Template

Uploading your products in bulk using a Template

A Product Template allows you to predefine inventory rules, pricing settings, category mappings, attribute mappings, and product sync configurations once, and then apply them to multiple Shopify products at the same time. This is especially useful when you want to list products in bulk that belong to the same category or product type, ensuring consistent settings and reducing manual effort.

Where Product Templates live

Open the app and go to Settings → Templates

Create a template — step by step

Click Add New Template

Step 1 — Template Name & Fulfilment Type

  1. Enter a Template Name (required, max 32 characters). Use a descriptive name such as Running Shoes or Cotton T-Shirt — the app uses it to suggest the right Amazon product type.
  2. Choose a Fulfilment Type:
    • FBM — Fulfilled by Merchant (you ship).
    • FBA — Fulfilled by Amazon (Amazon ships from its warehouses).
    • FBA Then FBM — fall back to FBM if FBA stock runs out.

Step 2 — Category & Attribute Mapping

  1. Tick Barcode/GTIN Exemption only if Amazon Seller Central has already granted you the exemption. (If you still need to apply, see the Apply for GTIN Exemption guide.)
  2. Use Select Custom Product Type to pick the Amazon product type for this template. Once set, you can use Preview Template to see how it will render.

Once a Product Type is assigned, the Attribute Mapping section unlocks. Map every attribute marked Required across the sections shown:

  • Offer — e.g. Item Condition.
  • Shipping — shipping rules and constraints.
  • Safety & Compliance — warnings, certifications.
  • Product Identity — brand, identifiers.
  • Product Details — category-specific attributes.
  • Variation attributes such as color and size for products with variants.

Why this matters: Amazon rejects listings that miss required attributes. Map them before you upload. For variation products (size/color families), attribute mapping is mandatory.

Step 3 — Inventory Settings

Decide how stock is reported to Amazon for products using this template.

Inventory Settings section with custom inventory, Efficient Inventory Control modes, and warehouse picker

  • Enable Inventory Settings for the App — master toggle. If off, the template doesn't manage inventory.
  • Set a custom inventory — for products with Continue selling when out of stock enabled in Shopify, push a fixed cap (e.g. 999) so Amazon never sees them as out of stock.
  • Efficient Inventory Control — choose one of:
    • Set Fixed Inventory — always report a fixed quantity to Amazon, regardless of Shopify stock.
    • Set Reserved Inventory — hold back a buffer for promotions or other channels.
    • Set Threshold Inventory — once Shopify stock drops to this value, mark the listing Out of Stock on Amazon.
  • Deactivate product on Amazon — when a product is deleted, archived, or set to draft in Shopify, automatically close the Amazon listing. If turned off, the product is only unlinked from the app and Amazon orders can still come in.
  • Warehouse Settings (required) — tick one or more warehouses to source inventory from.

Step 4 — Price Settings

Sync Shopify prices to Amazon and apply rounding rules.

Price Settings section showing Standard Price trend and rounding-off options with Sale and Minimum price toggles

  • Enable Price Syncing from the App — master toggle.
  • Preview Price Rounding-off — opens a calculator that shows the live effect of your rule on a sample base price.
  • Standard Price:
    • Choose Trend: Same as Shopify, % Increase, % Decrease, Value Increase, Value Decrease.
    • Rounding Off: No rounding, Whole number, End with 9, End with 10, End with 0.49, End with 0.99.
  • Sale Price — optional; separate trend and rounding for sale prices.
  • Minimum Price — optional; the floor used by Amazon's Automated Pricing.

Price-tier order on Amazon: Standard Price → Business Price → Quantity Tiers 1–5 → Minimum Price.

Step 5 — Product Settings

Choose which Shopify fields sync, and set your fulfilment speed.

Product Settings section showing Product Details, Images, and Variant Title sync toggles plus Handling Time field

  • Product Details — syncs title, description, and core info from Shopify to Amazon.
  • Images — uses Shopify product images on Amazon.
  • Variant Title — prepends the parent product name to each variant title (e.g. Cotton T-Shirt — Red, M). Without it, only the variation value appears, which can confuse buyers.
  • Handling Time (required, 0–30 days, default 2) — the number of days you need to process and ship an order. It's shown on the Amazon offer and checkout and affects the promised delivery date. Zero-day handling means same-day shipping.

Step 6 — Filter Products (assign products to the template)

Tell the template which products to apply to.

Filter Products section with Override Existing Products toggle and Advanced Selection panel

Override Existing Products — enable this to move products that already belong to another template into this one. Without it, only unassigned products are added.

Choose between two selection modes:

Manual Selection

Search Shopify products by title keyword and pick them from a dropdown. Best for adding a small number of products. Only unlisted products appear in the list.

Advanced Selection

Build conditional rules using Groups and Rows:

  • A Group bundles conditions. Multiple groups are joined by OR — if any group matches, the product is included.
  • A Row is a single condition inside a group. Rows in the same group are joined by AND — all of them must match.

Click See Query Result to preview how many products match before saving.

Advanced Selection panel with Group, Row, Select By field, operator, value, and See Query Result button

Save the template

Click Save in the top-right corner.

If any required attribute is unmapped, the Attributes tab is highlighted with an error and the template won't save. Open Attributes, finish the required mappings, and save again. After saving, a success banner shows the assigned product count (e.g. "1 product(s) assigned").

Upload products using the template

  1. Open Listings.
  2. Use Filters and filter by your template name.
  3. Select the matching products and choose Upload Product from the Select Actions dropdown.

The app sends the products to Amazon using the template's category, attribute mappings, inventory rules, pricing rules, and product-sync settings.
