Over the past two weeks, we’ve made several improvements to the Amazon integration. Here’s a quick summary of what’s new:

Adapter no longer activated automatically

The Amazon adapter is no longer activated automatically as previously announced. You can now decide yourself when to deactivate test mode. This can be done directly in the adapter settings. Once test mode is turned off, the old feed submission is also disabled.

Amazon Catalogues

• You can now preview and download catalogue exports, also for individual variations when using filters.

• Image handling has been improved. You can now work with image lists.

• Channel Maps can now also be used for offer catalogues.

• Technical attribute names are now visible in the catalogue, making it easier to trace and resolve Amazon feedback.

• Pre-mapping has been added for Audience, ASIN and Currency.

• Variation themes and parent/child relationships are now supported in the export.

• Multi-ASIN export is available.

• Feedback reports in Data Exchange are updated every 5 minutes.

• Mapped properties without a value (e.g. empty discount price) are ignored during export.

Feeds Overview and Settings

• An additional filter in the feeds overview helps you match feedback to the correct process.

• A new column shows when a feed was created.

• Feedback reports now also show valid responses when using catalogue exports in test mode.

• Sections for catalogue reports and adapter have been renamed for better clarity.

Documentation

The product type mapping file has been updated. Legacy product types now include IDs for easier matching.

A new best-practice guide for managing existing Amazon offers is now available in English.

Additional chapters have been added to the documentation, including how to activate catalogues, work with image lists, use test mode, export by product type and switch the adapter to live mode.
