Once the checkout is done, you will be redirected to the home page of the plugin where you can see the notification as- Plan purchased successfully
Now, again click on Connect option as highlighted in the image below and proceed to configure your Amazon seller account with the plugin.
On the next page, you need to enter the Seller Email Address and Amazon Store Region.

Clicking on Verify and Continue will take you to the Global Options to set up Attributes, Field Mapping, and Custom values if required. The Global Options will help you save loads of time and effort while creating product templates at any later point of time.
Assign fields and enter custom values wherever required to complete the attribute mapping and proceed to click on Save and Continue to finish the Global Options Settings.
Also, you can skip the section or reset all the entered values as per your preference.
Once done with the Global Options, the next step is to complete the General Settings for Listing Configuration.

Under the stock levels you can assign the maximum stock quantity while under the markup section you get to choose from 4 different variations of price markups which includes-
a) Fixed increment
b) Fixed decrement
c) Percentage Increment
d) Percentage decrement
Once done with the selection click Save and Continue to complete the onboarding process.
Also, you can skip the section or reset all the entered values as per your preference.
The successful completion of the onboarding process will be displayed as highlighted in the image below. You can now proceed to other settings of the plugin by clicking on the Go to Overview button.
But in case if the onboarding fails, there might be a few reasons for it which can be –
- We can’t confirm the seller’s permission to operate in the selected region. The seller’s account is suspended.
- A valid credit card is not attached to the account.
- The seller is not the account owner and has insufficient permission to add the account.
- If none of the above, it might be possible that there is an issue with authentication on our end or an issue with Amazon APIs.
You need to click on the Back to Login button as highlighted in the image below and restart the onboarding process.
