X-Cart's Amazon Integration enables you to export product information from your X-Cart store to Amazon through product feeds. This functionality not only allows you to list products from your X-Cart store on Amazon but also facilitates the updating of product details for items already listed on Amazon. If any product properties, such as description, quantity in stock, or price, are modified in your X-Cart store, you can manually submit a feed to Amazon or configure the store to periodically submit feeds automatically, ensuring that these changes are accurately reflected on Amazon.
Automated feed submissions
You can configure your X-Cart store to automatically submit feeds to Amazon at scheduled intervals. To enable this feature, navigate to the Import & Export Options section in the marketplace settings and activate the setting "Automatically sync X-Cart product updates to Amazon." Then use the "Update" setting below it to specify the update mode you wish to use. Please note that automated feed submissions also require a specific server environment setup.
Manual feed submissions
As an alternative to automated feed submissions, it is possible to submit feeds to Amazon manually. It can be done in your store's Admin area from the Marketplaces tab of the Amazon page or from any product list page.
Submitting feeds from the Marketplaces tab
It is possible to submit Amazon feeds from the Marketplaces tab of the Amazon page.
To submit feeds to Amazon using this method:
Select the marketplaces to which you want to submit your feed by selecting the check box(es) in front of their name(s). This reveals the Submit feeds button below the list.
Click Submit feeds. A popup appears asking you to select the type of feeds to submit to Amazon.
In the popup, select the feed type(s) you wish to submit:
Product (all product information, including product name, description, images, etc.);
Pricing (only product price info);
Inventory (only product stock info).
Click the Submit button.
Your X-Cart store will generate the specified type(s) of feed and submit it/them to Amazon.
Submitting feeds from a product list
It is possible to submit Amazon feeds from any product list page in the Admin area of your store. This could be your general product list, a list of products in a specific category, or a filtered list based on certain parameters.
To submit a feed to Amazon:
In the product list, select the products you wish to include into your feed. A button for submitting feeds to Amazon appears below the list (the button label is "Amazon").
Click the Amazon button. Clicking the button reveals a submenu. In the submenu, choose the destination of your feed submission (All Amazon sites or a specific Amazon marketplace/account).
Then choose the type of feed you wish to export:
List offer — list the selected products on Amazon for the first time, with automatic matching to existing Amazon catalog items. See Listing products on Amazon with List Offer for details.
Update offer qty — sync the stock level of the selected products, which are already listed on Amazon.
Update offer price — sync the price of the selected products, which are already listed on Amazon.
Your X-Cart store will generate the specified type of feed and submit it to Amazon.
