To start using X-Cart's Amazon Integration, follow the steps below:
Create an Amazon Seller Central account.
Information about Amazon selling plans is available here.
To list your products on Amazon using feeds, you need to be signed up for the Professional selling plan.
Ensure the Amazon Integration add-on is installed and enabled at your X-Cart store.
Set up product images for Amazon
For product images to be exported to Amazon correctly, the images must be in Amazon S3. For this reason, you will also require the add-on Cloud Images Storage. Be sure to complete the necessary setup and migrate the images to Amazon S3 before exporting products to Amazon.
Prepare your server environment
Contact your hosting service provider's technical support team to perform the server environment setup necessary for your X-Cart store to submit feeds to Amazon and import orders from Amazon. Specifically, ensure that background workers are enabled. If background workers are disabled, a message indicating so will appear at the top of the Amazon Integration page in your X-Cart store's Admin area.
No such message appears on the page if the workers are enabled.
Configure the Amazon Integration add-on settings
See Configuring the Amazon Integration Settings for details.
Connect your Amazon marketplace accounts
Link your Amazon marketplaces to your X-Cart store. You can connect multiple accounts. For details, see Managing Marketplace Connections (Amazon Integration).
Configure marketplace settings
Configure settings for each connected marketplace/account. It is possible to configure:data mapping rules at the marketplace level;
general settings defining how export and import should work for the marketplace.
See Configuring Marketplace Settings (Amazon Integration) for details.
If you need to set up exceptions to the mapping rules configured at the level of a specific marketplace, see Configuring Data Mapping Rules at the Level of Categories and Products (Amazon Integration).
Try submitting product feeds to Amazon
Follow the steps outlined in Submitting Feeds to Amazon (Amazon Integration).
Monitor feed submissions
You can check the status of any feed submission that was made from your store by viewing your store's feed submission history. The submission history provides feed submission logs listing any errors that might have occurred. This way you can review the errors, make the necessary changes, and resubmit the failed feeds. See Viewing and Managing Your Store's Feed Submission History (Amazon Integration).
Import Orders from Amazon
After getting some Amazon orders, try importing them into your X-Cart store. See Importing Orders from Amazon (Amazon Integration).
