Navigating the Product Listing Page

The Product Listing page is your central command center for seamlessly managing your Shopify products on Amazon through the CedCommerce Amazon Channel app. This page provides you with a comprehensive overview of your Amazon listings and facilitates various essential operations to ensure your products are accurately listed and continuously updated.

Understanding Listing Status

The Amazon Listing Status serves as a vital indicator of the current state of your products on Amazon. Each status conveys specific information about your product’s presence, readiness, and eligibility for sale on the Amazon platform. Here’s a breakdown of the different Amazon Listing Statuses and the corresponding actions you can take for each:

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. In the app’s user interface (UX), merchants will be informed that this process is running.

Inactive:

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

Actions: Similar to the “Active” status, merchants can update offer information, update product information, or delete the product. This includes updating 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), merchants can provide the necessary offer info for each SKU. The initial values for price, quantity, and offer start/end dates will be populated from Seller Central, and merchants can adjust prices based on their Shopify catalog.

Incomplete:

Status Meaning: The item is missing some information.

Action: Update product information. Merchants can update Price, Quantity, and Offer Start/End dates for selected SKUs. If multiple SKUs exist (e.g., multiple child SKUs with existing products on Amazon), merchants can provide the required offer info for each SKU. The initial values for price, quantity, and offer start/end dates will be populated from Seller Central, and merchants can adjust prices based on their Shopify catalog.

Active:

Status Meaning: The item has an Amazon SKU in the Shopify catalog.

Actions: Sellers can update offer information, update product information, or delete the product. Merchants have the flexibility to update Price, Quantity, and Offer Start/End dates for selected SKUs. If multiple SKUs exist (e.g., multiple child SKUs with existing products on Amazon), merchants can provide the necessary offer info for each SKU. The initial values for price, quantity, and offer start/end dates will be populated from Seller Central, and merchants can adjust prices based on their Shopify catalog.

Error:

Status Meaning: There was an error in the listing process.

Action: Correct the error to proceed with the listing.
