Amazon Stores

Bulk import is only supported for Amazon stores when using Amazon as the supplier. This is because Amazon stores require an ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number) for each product.

What is an ASIN? It’s a unique 10-character code used by Amazon to identify and manage products across its platform.

If you try to bulk import using a non-Amazon supplier, you’ll see this message:
“You can use bulk import for Amazon stores only when importing products from an Amazon supplier.”

Workaround: Import Single Products

If you’re using a non-Amazon supplier, you can still import single products:

  1. Click the “+” button on the supplier website with the extension enabled.

  2. Find the product you want to sell on Amazon.

  3. Copy the ASIN from:

    • The product URL (e.g., amazon.com/dp/B07...)

    • Or the Product Details section on the Amazon listing.

  4. Paste the ASIN into the extension to complete the import.

This method allows you to list products in your Amazon store, even when the supplier is not Amazon.
