Amazon shipping methods are generally created, managed and linked to offers directly from this section of the marketplace:

Settings --> Shipping settings

ma qualora fosse necessario configurarli in maniera più articolata e automatizzare il processo di collegamento alle offerte, ci vengono in aiuto due diverse modalità di collegamento tramite bindCommerce.

Modello di spedizione nei parametri per la preparazione delle offerte

La prima operazione da svolgere è quella di configurare tutti i modelli di spedizione necessari dall'Amazon Seller Central, configurando paesi, tempi e tariffe secondo le proprie necessità.

Once you have created the models in Amazon go to the parameters for the preparation of offers that we have already talked about in these articles: Parameters for preparation of known Amazon offers and Parameters for preparation of unknown Amazon offers.

You will be able to specify the model in the Shipping tab under Shipping model. Pay attention to the name you enter: it must be identical to the model name indicated in Seller Central otherwise the link will not work.

If more models are created on Amazon, more parameters in bindCommerce will be needed and therefore more connectors and filters. Alternatively it is possible to fetch the data dynamically using a placeholder in cases where the model name is present, for example, in an attribute.

Shipping templates in the dedicated section

Also in this case the models must first be created within the Amazon Seller Central. Once configured, you can also take advantage of a second connection method in bindCommerce. The dedicated section can be reached through the following menu:

Marketplace >> Amazon >> Shipping templates

Using the models directly in bindCommerce you have the possibility of using a slightly more complex method, especially in the presence of weight bands. It is in fact possible to specify a minimum weight and a maximum weight. The bindCommerce system will then apply the correct method based on the information present on the articles.

We remind you that the name of the templates must be identical to the one entered in Amazon. Using this method it will not be necessary to enter the data also in the parameters for the preparation of offers.

Sending to Amazon

After configuring the models, you will first need to update the offers in bindcommerce using the previously created connector for generating offers and finally you can send the data to Amazon by activating a specific option within the parameters for sending offers.

The dedicated option is Shipping group data (MerchantShippingGroupName), but in this case you will also need to select the Condition of the asset and Name (Title). It is not necessary to create a dedicated configuration if you already have other publishing configurations, just add the check to the field mentioned above directly to the existing configuration.

PLEASE NOTE: It is not recommended to use existing stock update configurations and prices. In this case it is preferable to create a special configuration for updating only the shipping methods.

To sell effectively on Amazon, you need to create a product inventory that is as complete and detailed as possible. Thanks to some standard information, Amazon is able to manage internal cataloging and browser searches, correctly indexing the products. In order to obtain a correct and effective inventory, it will be necessary to equip the products with more attributes, necessary for advanced research on the marketplace.

How to enter these values on bindCommerce?

Click on the menu

Marketplace >> Amazon >> Offer preparation parameters

The sections dedicated to the insertion of attributes and consequent values are Macrocategory, Variation Data and Classification Data. Now let's see for each section the fields to be filled in, and the values that can be used, for the Shoes category.

Macrocategory

The data entered in this section are essential for a correct publication on Amazon.

Based on the choice of the macro-category implemented in the previous section, the various elements will be available. Since the "Shoes" section has been chosen in the Macro-category section, in the Variation Data section the "Color" "Variation Theme" and "Size" values will be available in the Element drop-down menu. Let's see how to fill in this section in detail.

tag indicating the Attribute field to which the value "Color" has been assigned in the Data Set section. Example: if Attribute 3 is equal to the Color value, this field will be filled in using the placeholder {[(attribute3 | value)] } or, optionally, use a fixed value that indicates the color of the product. Example: dark green

Example: if Attribute 2 is equal to the Size value, this field will be filled in using the placeholder {[(attribute2 | value)] } or, if desired, use a fixed value indicating the size of the product. Example numeric_36

Classification Data

The elements in this section refer to the search and catalog fields on Amazon. Some fields are of fundamental importance for the published products to be available for advanced searches on the marketplace. In the absence of such data, the product will be invisible to the public who will carry out an advanced search. How to fill in this section? Some elements may correspond to placeholder values, based on the choice of attributes made in the Data Set section. Other elements may instead be filled in using fixed values indicated in the following tables.

The Color and Size values derive from the Product List present on bindCommerce. To obtain correct advertisements, please evaluate the use of the standard values indicated by Amazon for the Size field, starting from your product archive.

Conversions

In the event that the Color and Size values of the Product List do not coincide with those accepted by Amazon, bindCommerce allows you to carry out scale conversions directly on the platform.

Just click on the menu:

Processi >> Conversions and Normalizations >> Conversions

Let's say we have an anthracite colored product. To make a conversion, simply click on the green Add button, indicate the Manufacturer from the drop-down menu (if you intend to create a conversion valid only for a specific manufacturer; leaving this value blank, the conversions will be used for products of any brand) and choose the type of scale best suited to the product if it is a size conversion, general if it is a color conversion.

In the field Starting scale it will be sufficient to choose in the case in question non-standard descriptive color, and indicate Anthracite as the starting value. In the Target scale field, indicate Color Standard Eng and search among the values ​​provided by Amazon for the one that is closest to anthracite, for example Gray. Once entered in the Target value field, just click on Save and Close. To insert a converted value in the Classification Data section use the specific tag.

EXAMPLE: {[(attribute1|kind==General|rescale_from==color_not_standard|rescale_to==color_standard_eng|value)]}

To sell effectively on Amazon, you need to create a product inventory that is as complete and detailed as possible. Thanks to some standard information, Amazon is able to manage internal cataloging and browser searches, correctly indexing the products. In order to obtain a correct and effective inventory, it will be necessary to equip the products with more attributes, necessary for advanced research on the marketplace.

How to enter these values on bindCommerce?

Click on the menu

Marketplace >> Amazon >> Action on products/offers

The sections dedicated to the insertion of attributes and consequent values are Macrocategory, Variation Data and Classification Data. Now let's see for each section the fields to be filled in, and the values that can be used, for the Clothing category.

Macrocategory

The data entered in this section are essential for a correct publication on Amazon.

Variation Data

Based on the choice of the macro-category implemented in the previous section, the various elements will be available. Since the "Clothing" section has been chosen in the Macrocategory section, in the Variation Data section the "Color" "Variation Theme" and "Size" values will be available in the Element drop-down menu.

Let's see how to fill in this section in detail.

 Classification Data

The elements in this section refer to the search and catalog fields on Amazon. Some fields are of fundamental importance, so that the published products are available for advanced searches on the marketplace. In the absence of such data, the product will be invisible to the public who will carry out an advanced search.

How to fill in this section? Some elements may correspond to placeholder values, based on the choice of attributes made in the Data Set section. Other elements may instead be filled in using fixed values indicated in the following tables.

The Color and Size fields are derived from the Product List on bindCommerce. To obtain correct Amazon listings, please consider using the following values for the Size and Color field, starting from your product archive.

 Scale conversions

Nel caso in cui the Color and Size values of the Product List do not coincide with those accepted by Amazon, bindCommerce allows you to carry out scale conversions directly on the platform. Just click on the menu:

Processi >> Conversions and normalizations >> Conversions

Let's say we have an anthracite colored product. To make a conversion just click on the green Add button, indicate the Manufacturer from the drop-down menu (if present) and choose the most suitable type of scale according to the product.

In the field Starting scale it will be sufficient to choose in the case in question non-standard descriptive color, and indicate Anthracite as the starting value. In the Target scale field, indicate Color Standard Eng and search among the values provided by Amazon for the one that is closest to anthracite, for example Grey. Once entered in the Target value field, just click on Save and Close. To insert a converted value in the Classification Data section use the specific tag.

EXAMPLE: {[(attribute1|kind==General|rescale_from==color_not_standard|rescale_to==color_standard_eng|value)]}

Let's now see the mandatory elements for the Classification Data section.

We also see the recommended items and their values allowed by Amazon.

Before you can send the generated offers to Amazon you need to create a configuration to specify what data to send and how to send it.

In this guide we will see specifically the operations to be carried out for the publication of products not present on Amazon.

We will find the section used for this purpose under the heading:

Marketplace >> Amazon >> Actions on products/offers

In this section there are fields to fill in such as:

• Configuration name: identifier so that we can later remember the function of the configuration.
• Marketplace: Select the market for the products to be published
• Operation type: select the type of action that the connector will perform
• What offer statuses to send: Select the offer statuses that the connector should consider when publishing
• Replace any existing data by deliting those present? - to be used only in special cases to reset all offers and reload them from scratch.
• Exclude from sending ofers without barcode? - it is possible to avoid sending products without barcode, if any.
• Send related products: possibility to choose whether to send all products, or only the parents, only the children, or only those without variants.

At this point it is also necessary to specify in detail which data to send. So in the section Send offer and / or product data? select Yes. You will be able to access a series of options available for sending to Amazon.

It is also possible to specify in detail which data to send.

• Product condition: new or used
• Name: product name.
• Descriptions: Includes the general description and bulleted list.
• Brand: brand name of the product.
• Manufacturer: manufacturer name.
• Keywords: list of words used by Amazon to search for the product.
• Categories: product classification within Amazon categories.
• Product dimensions and weight: data relating to product measurements.
• Variant data and specific attributes for the product category: data relating to the attributes and variants foreseen in the configuration.
• Dimensions and weight of the item packed for shipment
• Additional Publication Data: Additional information such as the availability of gift packages or greeting messages.
• Launch and Release Dates: Control when the offer will appear (launch) and be available to buyers (release).
• Safety data and regulations: reference to European directives on safety to be applied.
• Shipping group data
• Manufacturer's Recommended Price: Under Amazon's new rules for displaying discounted prices, you must use this option to display the original price of the product above the discounted price. By checking this field you will therefore have the possibility to select the price list, from which the full price of the products will be extracted, to be sent to Amazon together with the discounted prices.

In the specific case of creating new products, select all the options you want to be sent to Amazon.

Continuing with the configuration, you can choose the other information to send to Amazon.

• Send variant relationships: Creates matches between parent products and linked variants.
• Send images: allows the sending of images linked to the Amazon offer.
• Send prices: send the prices for the desired offers; the data are taken directly from the bindCommerce product list, selected from the set list.
• Submit B2B Pricing: Option available to Amazon Business users. Select the reference price list intended for Business offers
• Send quantity: sends the update on quantities for the desired offers, the data can be taken from the bindCommerce product list, from the value of a specific attribute, or can receive a fixed value.

There are also further options regarding the methods of sending and publishing:

• Marketplace: the marketplace on which you want to publish the products.
• Type of operation: Creates or completely updates the record, deletes the previous data and completely replaces it with the new ones. Create or update only the information sent, change the data on Amazon related to the ones sent but will leave everything else intact.
• It replaces any existing data by eliminating those present: to be used only in special cases to reset all offers and reload them from scratch.
• Exclude adverts without barcode from sending ?: it is possible not to send products without barcode, if any.
• Send related products: possibility to choose whether to send all products, or only the fathers, only the children, or only those without variants.
• Where to pick up the processing times? - you can choose whether to withdraw them from the offer, in the case of fixed data, or from an attribute, in the case of different processing times for each item

Once the rest of the configurations are finished, all that remains is to prepare the connector that will take care of sending the offers to Amazon.
