Add the Amazon Offer Creation export

Create a new offer on an Amazon ASIN that already exists in Amazon's catalog, without setting up product classification.

7 min read

The Amazon Offer Creation export lets you list a new offer (price, condition, and availability) on an Amazon ASIN that already exists in Amazon's catalog. This is different from the Amazon Product Export: it does not create a new product or touch the ASIN's content data, and it does not require category-specific attribute (CSA) mapping. Use it when you want to co-list against an existing catalog entry rather than create a listing from scratch.

Once an offer exists, use the Amazon Inventory and Price Update SP-API export to keep its price and stock current. The Offer Creation export only creates new offers — it does not update existing ones.

Prerequisites

Before setting up the Amazon Offer Creation export, confirm the following:

  • You have an active Amazon Seller Central account. This export is not available for Vendor Central accounts.
  • You know the ASIN you want to attach each offer to. If you only have a barcode (UPC, EAN, GTIN, ISBN, or JAN), see Find Amazon ASINs by barcode first.
  • The marketplace you want to export to is available in the export list. See Add the export.
  • Your Amazon account is in good health: valid payment method, correct VAT or tax details, and no outstanding compliance issues.

Caution

Amazon restricts who can list an offer against certain ASINs — for example, brand-registered or gated products. If Amazon rejects your offer for this reason, you or your client need approval from Amazon or the brand owner before the offer can go live. This is an Amazon policy, not a Productsup limitation.

Add the export

Go to Exports from your site's main menu and select ADD EXPORT.

Search for the marketplace you want to export to. Exports follow the naming format Amazon Seller Central – Offer Creation (XX), where XX is the country code of your target marketplace, for example US, DE, or FR.

If the marketplace you need is not in the list, that region is not yet supported. Contact your Customer Success Manager or support@productsup.com to request it.

Hover over the export and select Add.

Configure the destination

On the Exports page, select the name of the export you added.

Select Add Destination, choose Amazon Seller Offer Creation Delta Export from the dropdown, give it a name, and select Save.

In Authentication, select an existing authentication or select Add New Authentication to connect your Amazon account via OAuth.

Selecting Add New Authentication redirects you to Amazon to complete the authorization. Once authorized, Amazon redirects you back to Productsup automatically.

In Marketplace ID, select the country you are exporting to. This must match the export you selected in Add the export.

In Seller ID, enter your Amazon Seller ID. Leave this blank to use the Seller ID of the account you authenticated with in step 3.

Switch Active to On and select Save.

Map your data

Unlike the full Amazon Product Export, this export does not use category-specific attribute templates. Amazon resolves the product category for you, based on the ASIN, so you only map the offer fields below.

FieldRequiredNotes
SKUYesYour own identifier for this offer
ASINYesThe existing Amazon ASIN you're co-listing against
ConditionYesFor example new_new or used_good
PriceYesYour offer price, with currency
Fulfillment channelYesWhether you or Amazon (FBA) fulfill this offer
QuantityYesAvailable stock for this offer
Handling time, sale price, and other offer detailsNoOptional fields available in Dataflow

Go to Dataflow from your site's main menu and select your Amazon Offer Creation export in the dropdown on the left.

Map your attributes to the fields listed above in the intermediate stage.

Select Run in the top-right corner of your view to submit your first offers.

Monitor results after submission

Caution

An unknown, missing, or invalid ASIN is skipped rather than escalated to full product creation. Check your export's feedback to find and fix these rows.

A rejection specific to one offer, such as an invalid attribute value, is skipped so the rest of your export continues. Review the feedback for the affected SKU, correct the issue, and the offer is resubmitted on the next run.

Submission is asynchronous — a successfully submitted offer may take a few minutes to appear against the ASIN in Seller Central. To check on a specific offer immediately, set up an Amazon Product Import datasource using the Listings API source.
