Product upload: Submit products to Amazon automatically and efficiently
Uploading products is one of the important functions performed by our Amazon multichannel interface for Magento. Whether you want to upload selected products or entire categories is up to you. You can customize your products before submitting them. For example, you can change titles or item descriptions or add product images.
The product upload via magnalister is divided into two steps:
1. Preparing your store products for upload
Here you have two options:
- Request new products to be added to the Amazon catalog, including attribute matching
- Match products with the Amazon catalog
Thanks to these matching features, preparing your products for Amazon is much easier. Product matching allows you to match existing items against a unique identification number (GTIN, EAN, UPC, ISBN, MPN) and then upload them. In this case, the item title, product description and product attributes are taken from the Amazon catalog.
In the following section you will learn more about attribute matching. With this, you prepare products for upload very easily.
You complete the preparation of the products by saving them in the magnalister plugin.
The second step follows:
2. The product upload
You will see all correctly prepared products, including important information, for example on stock levels and prices as well as the selected type of preparation, in the “Upload” tab. Once you have selected the items, you can decide whether you want to submit them to Amazon individually or in a “batch”.
Attribute matching: Match product attributes (like “size”) and variations (like “color”) with Amazon
The attribute matching feature saves you an especially large amount of time, because it offers a unique opportunity: Create product variations and attributes as early as during the product preparation and in such a way that they are always accepted by Amazon.
This may sound trivial at first, but it touches on one of the biggest pain points of online retailers: Product attributes such as “size” or “color” often deviate from the attributes that Amazon and other online marketplaces allow. If you – thanks to magnalister – match the Amazon attributes with the store attributes beforehand, you save yourself a lot of time and the frustrating troubleshooting after product uploads. After all, who doesn’t like to read the sentence “Your products were successfully submitted”.
Another benefit of attribute matching: Correctly matching product variations and features is beneficial for visibility on Amazon. This is the case because many shoppers use the filter feature, which relies on product attributes.
For example, if a customer is looking for a green shirt in size M, they can refine their search on Amazon using the filter until only the exact matches are displayed. However, if your products lack the attributes color or size, they will not show up in the search results. As a retailer, you can use attribute matching between your online store and Amazon to increase your chances of being included in filtered customer search results. In fact, the conversion rate is higher for a product with complete attributes.
Price synchronization: Easily synchronize prices on different
For merchants who offer their products on several online platforms, it is helpful to be able to synchronize current prices directly from the online store to the marketplaces. This is also possible with magnalister. You can either synchronize changes in prices uniformly from the online store to the marketplaces, or you can offer products at different prices per marketplace.
If prices differ, you can define them directly via your store system using price or customer groups. Choose between percentage or fixed markups respectively reductions for the connected marketplaces in the magnalister plugin.
Update and sync inventory via our Magento 1 Amazon integration
The inventory can be managed centrally from your online store or in the connected inventory management system: With the help of the magnalister inventory feature, your store inventory is always up-to-date. The feature synchronizes the inventory with Amazon and, if necessary, all other connected marketplaces.
Here’s how it works: When orders are imported, magnalister identifies the product using the stock keeping unit (SKU). If SKU and product match the product purchased from Amazon, magnalister reduces the stock in your store accordingly. Inventory management systems that are connected to your webshop and therefore access the store’s data are hence seamlessly synchronized.**
A nice detail: If you want to pause the sale of a product on Amazon for a while, but continue to offer it in your online store, you can do so using the “Inactive items” option.
If you don’t want to use inventory synchronization for certain reasons, you can simply deactivate it.
Order import: Import and manage Amazon orders automatically
Import all Amazon orders directly to your Magento 1 store system thanks to automated order import. If you use “Fulfillment by Amazon” (Amazon FBA), then a FBA note is stored in each order. In addition, the Amazon order number (order ID) is automatically added in the order details. This makes it easier to assign and select orders. In addition, magnalister ensures that information such as shipping and payment methods are also correctly stored in the respective order.
If you desire, email templates help to inform Amazon customers about the order status – directly and automated from your store system. For this purpose, magnalister provides placeholders that simplify the creation of notification messages.
Order status matching: Sync order status in Magento 1 with Amazon
Amazon customers can find out about the current order status in their customer account. The online giant also requires information about the order status to determine the shipping reliability of online retailers. Being able to submit order status changes such as “shipped” or “canceled” directly from the store to Amazon is therefore particularly helpful. Additionally, the shipping company and the tracking code are submitted.
You benefit from this feature in two ways: On the one hand, it simplifies administration. On the other hand, fulfilling the Amazon requirements also increases your chances of a better ranking – and of the coveted Amazon Buy Box (shopping cart field). This is not automatically displayed for all products.
Invoice upload: Submit invoices to Amazon
Amazon’s sales tax services – as featured in the VCS program – allow online merchants to provide invoices to their buyers in a variety of ways: Invoices, including sales tax, can be created by Amazon. But you can also upload the invoices yourself. In this case, Amazon only handles the sales tax calculation (VCS-Lite). More Information about the Amazon VCS program can be found here.
If you create the invoices yourself, you can move them directly from Magento 1 on to Amazon using the magnalister upload functionality. You choose the method of invoice submission yourself: Either invoices are generated in the magnalister invoice wizard or in the store system itself before they are sent to Amazon.
Hook Points: Customize your Amazon interface
Sometimes it can be beneficial to customize the interface using so-called hook points. Hook points provide the option to insert your own programming code into the plugin. This way, certain functions can be redefined. Hook points are update-safe, which means they work as desired even after updates. This way, the Magento 1 Amazon integration can be customized to fit your exact needs and workflow. For example, if some order information is so important to you that you want to output it in separate fields in the backend, then this is possible with magnalister hook points. Using another example, one could think of a marketplace that has a marketplace-specific order number that magnalister does not process by default. With the help of Hook Points, this information can still be submitted and captured. It is thereby ensured that your products are optimally displayed on Amazon.***
