With the help of Auto Rules, you can easily speed up and automatize the process of adding and removing products from the M2E Pro Listing. Simply set conditions for products to be automatically added and removed at one of three possible levels: Global, Website, or Category.

The option of Website level appears only after a Store View is specified in the Listing Settings.

How to add the Auto Rules

  1. Navigate to Amazon > Listings. 
  2. Click on the Listing > Edit Settings > Auto Add/Remove Rules.
  3. Select the level you want to set for this Listing (Global, Website, Category). 
  4. Click Complete.

Auto Rules will not affect your existing Magento products, they will apply only to newly added items.

Set levels for Auto Rules

Auto Rules include actions that define what happens to products related to Global, Website, or Category level. Though actions are alike, they work a bit differently depending on the level. Check out the details on setting actions for each level in the table below:


Actions

Levels


Global



Website


Category


New product is added to

Magento Catalog

Includes any new item in Magento

Magento Website

Includes all new items in the selected Magento Website

Magento Category

Includes all new items in the selected Magento category

Add “Not visible individually products”

Defines whether 'Not visible individually' products will be added to Listing or not.

Create New ASIN/ISBN if not foundA new ASIN/ISBN is created based on the specified Description Policy. Selected Description policy will be applied to all products in the Listing with no ASIN/ISBN found.


Product is deleted from

Magento Catalog

Includes any item removed from Magento 

Magento Website

Includes all items removed from the selected Magento Website

Magento Category

Includes all items removed from the selected Magento category

If you plan to list Multi-Variational items on Channel, you need to add only Parent products to your M2E Pro Listing. Child products will appear after the Parent is listed. If your Child products are 'Not Visible Individually' in Magento, set the Add 'Not visible individually products' action to No so they are not added to M2E Listing automatically.

Category level allows the most flexibility for managing automatic product adding and removal. You can add several Magento categories to the same Category level. For this, please follow the steps:

  1. Select the Category level and click Add new rule in the opened pop-up. 
  2. Choose the Magento category and tick the necessary category branches.
  3. Add the title.
  4. Configure actions.
  5. Click Save.

Please remember that you can select only one Magento category per one category rule.

How to delete the Auto Rules

  1. Navigate to Amazon > Listings. 
  2. Click on the Listing > Edit Settings > Auto Add/Remove Rules.
  3. In the opened window click Reset Automatic Acton Rule > OK.
