If you sell unique products, you will need to create new listings on Amazon. However, if your products are already listed on Amazon by other sellers, you can try joining a listing on Amazon.
You can join a single listing through your Amazon Seller Central by going to Catalog > Add Product, then use the Search Amazon’s catalog box to find and join the listing. Our system enables you to join listings in bulk.
Using our system to Join Amazon Listings
The life cycle of a product on the Amazon panel:
Joining a listing on Amazon
- Go to Amazon Panel > Tools > Product Import and import a simple spreadsheet containing SKU and ASIN (UPC, EAN). It is not required, but we recommend including a Price column.
- After the upload, select imported products, then from Bulk action choose Join Amazon Listing.
- Products may go back to the draft section with errors.
IMPORTANT: If one product fails, the entire submission may also fail. Go to Products > Products with error to check which products failed. - If products are successfully submitted, they will appear in your Amazon Seller Central.
- Submitted products will be marked as Published and we will request more data from Amazon. Data from Amazon will not overwrite existing data on our system. Do not modify product data during the import. Keep in mind:
- Imports take place every hour, so there will be a delay between your request and the update on our end.
- New imports will not be executed if prior requests are still in progress for your account.
- We will send you a link requesting category mapping when we receive the missing data from Amazon. After the category mapping, we will send an email confirmation with imported products in a spreadsheet.
