Here we will see how to configure the parameters for the preparation of offers when these are already present on the marketplace.

All items that have been published and described by other sellers in the past, and that have a unique code within the marketplace, are considered as products already present on Amazon.

EXAMPLE: Nokia Lumia 630 Smartphone, 8GB, Black - ASIN CODE B00JR983HC

To create the appropriate configuration go to the menu:

Marketplace --> Amazon --> Offer preparation parameters

By clicking on Add, the section dedicated to the parameters for preparing offers will open.

Once the name has been assigned, for example, "Amazon UK", it is time to choose the type of configuration. In the case of products already present on Amazon it is advisable to choose the Simple configuration.
