Add Amazon Seller Central – Product Creation (US) export
Send your products to Amazon as a seller in the US via Productsup.
Introduction
To let you sell your products on Amazon, Productsup has built an ecosystem that sends product and order data to Amazon and imports order data from Amazon into Productsup:
The API-based export Amazon Seller Central – Product Creation (US) lets you the US-based sellers export their data to Amazon. See the set up process in the current document.
The data source Amazon Marketplace Orders (SP-API) lets Productsup import your orders from a selected Amazon Seller Central account to Productsup. See Set up order sync for Amazon.
The API-based export Amazon Marketplace Shipment Update (SP-API) lets you update orders on Amazon using information stored in your ERP, order management, or shop system, for example, order tracking IDs and carrier information. See Export shipment updates to Amazon.
The API-based export Amazon Inventory and Price Update (API) 2021 lets you update inventory and prices for the exported products on Amazon. See How to configure your Amazon Inventory and Price export.
This document describes the Amazon Seller Central – Product Creation (US) export that let US-based Amazon sellers link their categories and subcategories to the Amazon categories and export their products to Amazon via API.
Note
Currently, the Amazon Seller Central – Product Creation (US) export is only for US-based sellers and is in the beta phase. However, we can add more countries on demand.
Now, we support only one category for test purposes – the US/SOFA category. To request other categories or countries, contact your Customer Success Manager or support@productsup.com.
You can also use analyzer tests to confirm that your attributes meet the Amazon requirements. In case of errors during the export, you can see Amazon's feedback about errors in Productsup to fix and resend the product catalog.
Prerequisites
To set up the Amazon export in Productsup, you need to:
Create a seller account on Amazon if you don't have one.
Have login and password for your Amazon seller account. Productsup connects to Amazon via the Selling Partner API.
Prepare and send us a list of the Amazon product types and countries where you want to sell products.
Note
This export has category-specific attributes. Productsup supports only some categories by default. But we can add missing categories on request. To request the necessary categories, product types, countries, or languages for this integration, contact your Customer Success Manager or support@productsup.com and provide the following information:
List of product types
List of countries, regions, or marketplaces per product type. See Marketplace IDs for reference.

Set up a Classification Mapping list for Amazon
You must map your attributes to the Amazon categories using the Classification Mapping list to let Productsup know which category-specific attributes should be available to you.
Go to Lists from your site's main menu and select ADD LIST.
Choose Classification Mapping and select Continue.
In Name, give your mapping list a custom name to help you identify it among others. You can edit it later.
In Classification, select Amazon Seller Central – Product Creation (US).
In Stage, choose Import to replace the imported categories with the categories accepted by Amazon.
In Attribute, choose your category attribute from your imported attributes. The platform later populates the list with the values from this attribute to let you map your categories to the Amazon categories.
Select Add.
Map your categories pre-populated in the right-hand side column to the Amazon categories in the Replace term column, selecting a needed category from the drop-down menus.
Note
You must create and set up a new Classification Mapping list every time you modify the chosen category attribute in your data source and import its new values into your site. Otherwise, the existing list can't upload your new values, and you can't map them to the corresponding Amazon categories. Once you create a new Classification Mapping list, you need to choose it in the related rule box.
Map your attributes and add the Classification Mapping rule box. See the following section.
Map your attributes and add the Classification Mapping rule box
To map your custom categories to the Amazon categories, you must map the attribute in Dataflow and add the Classification Mapping rule box to apply the Classification Mapping list created in Set up a Classification Mapping list for Amazon.
Go to Dataflow from your site's main menu and select Amazon Seller Central – Product Creation (US) in the drop-down menu on the left.
Map all relevant attributes from import to export.
Map your category attribute in the import stage to category_path in the intermediate stage.
Select category_path in the intermediate stage to add and set up the Classification Mapping rule box. Set up the rule box:
Choose the list created in Set up a Classification Mapping list for Amazon from the List drop-down menu.
In , choose Match Sensitive to perform a case-sensitive search in the attribute's values or Match Insensitive to ignore the case of the values.
In On No Match, choose what should happen if there is no match with the values on the list:
set to empty string makes the cell empty
set original value leaves the original value
Select Save.
To let the site display your category-specific attributes in Dataflow, select Run or Import in the top-right corner of your view.
Warning
This run will fail because you still need to map all the mandatory attributes, so no data export occurs at this stage. The aim of the run is to import the necessary categories and attributes into Dataflow.
After the run is completed, check the Classifications drop-down menu in the upper ribbon of Dataflow. You must see all categories su.
Tip
If you can't see the Classifications drop-down menu when the site run is complete, refresh your page.
Select each category in the Classifications drop-down menu and map all relevant attributes from import to export.
The fork icon to the right of the category-specific attribute name identifies attributes relevant to the selected Amazon category.
Note
If some attributes are missing in the intermediate stage, add them manually.
