Unmanaged Listings

General

If you are an existing Amazon seller and want to manage your Channel inventory based on Magento data, you can use the Unmanaged Listings functionality. To import Unmanaged Items to M2E Pro, the corresponding option must be enabled in your Account configurations (Amazon Integration > Configuration > Accounts > Unmanaged Listings):

Open

All imported Unmanaged Items can be found under Amazon Integration > Listings > Items > Unmanaged items.

The Unmanaged Items from the different Amazon accounts/marketplaces will be stored in separate Listings.

Open

You can Reset items from your Unmanaged Listings. It will take up to 24 hours to import them anew.

By opening a Listing, you can review the related Items: their title, SKU, ASIN/ISBN, current quantity, price, and status on the Channel.

You can manage items in bulk using the Actions menu: link/unlink the Items, move them to M2E Pro Listing, or remove them from the Unmanaged Listing. To do it, select the Items, then apply the required action:

• Link Item(s) Automatically - allows automatically linking selected Items to Magento Products based on the linking settings.

• Unlink Item(s) - allows unlinking selected Items from Magento Products.

• Move Item(s) to Listing - allows moving selected linked Items to M2E Pro Listing.

• Remove Item(s) - allows removing selected Items from the Unmanaged Listing.

Before M2E Pro starts managing your Unmanaged Items, you need to configure linking settings, link items to relevant Magento Products, then move them to M2E Pro Listing. Find the detailed instructions below.

Configuring Linking settings

In your Account configurations (Amazon Integration > Configuration > Accounts > Unmanaged Listings), you can set up product linking preferences.

Firstly, select Magento Store View that will be associated with the Marketplace set for the current Account. A related Store View, which you select, will serve as a source of the Magento Product data whenever you are linking the Unmanaged Item to Magento Product.

Then you may enable the Product Linking option if you want to link the Unmanaged Items to Magento Products automatically based on the SKU, ASIN/ISBN, or Title values during the initial import.

Once the option is enabled, select a relevant Magento Attribute based on which the linking of Unmanaged Items should be performed. There are several options to choose from:

• SKU - compares Amazon Item SKU with Magento Product SKU, Magento Product ID, or selected Magento attribute value.

• ASIN/ISBN - compares Amazon Item's ASIN/ISBN with a selected Magento Attribute value.

• Listing Title - compares Amazon Item's Title with Magento Product Name or selected Magento attribute value.

Linking to Magento Product

For correct synchronization of item data between Amazon and Magento, you need to link the item to Magento Product. Make sure that the selected Magento Product fully corresponds to your Amazon Item.

How to link Items automatically

To link the Unmanaged Items to Magento products automatically, i.e. based on the linking settings, complete the following steps:

• Select Amazon Items that you want to link.

How to link Items manually

You can link an individual Item to a relevant Magento Product manually. To do it, complete the following steps:

After moving the Item to the M2E Pro Listing, you can change the Magento Product it is linked to. To relink your Item, go to Amazon Integration > Listings > M2E Pro and apply the Link to another Magento Product action in the Settings View Mode.

Moving to M2E Pro Listing

After you link the Items, they can be moved to the M2E Pro Listing. You can apply the Move action to each Item individually or manage items in bulk.
