Knowledge Required

The module does not require any special technical knowledge, but it might sometimes need a general understanding effort and to know the operating mechanism of Amazon marketplace.

Before, it is imperative to understand the difference between an offer and a product, it is a common practice in all marketplaces. Read the page “Differentiate well between an offer and a product“.

You will also need to read the document “Validate your catalog structure“, this one summarizes in a page how should your product sheet be to marketplaces. Once your catalog compliant, you can export to all marketplaces.

Most of the advanced features of the module are pretty self-explanatory after initial use of the module, having gained experience in the module and the marketplace.

Specific Terminology

Sending offers (synchronization): it is a simple process of sending offers that do not require special skills or knowledge. It is this mode that is the most used because it allows you to update your inventory. To understand how it works, you only need to understand the principle of logging.

Sending products (creation): creating Products that are not referenced by Amazon, and that do not have ASIN code. Note that the creation mode is optional. It is only necessary if your products do not exist on Amazon. This is a slightly more complex process requiring some knowledge of the marketplace and of course knowing his own catalog.
