Getting started with Amazon Feeds

To start using Amazon Feeds, complete the following steps:

1. Set up a Professional Amazon seller account.
   During registration, when asked about the way you are going to use MWS, select the option "I want to access my own Amazon seller account with MWS".
   After completing registration, you will be provided with your Account Identifiers and Credentials for access to Amazon Marketplace Web Service (Amazon MWS). Please make note of your Account Identifiers and Credentials, as they will not be emailed to you.
   
   You will need to enter your Account Identifiers and Credentials in X-Cart to connect your store to your seller account.
2. Activate the module Amazon Feeds in your X-Cart store. For instructions, see the section Activating the module below.
3. Visit the Amazon Feeds module settings page in your X-Cart store's Admin area and adjust the module settings. For more info, see the section Configuring the module further below.
4. Decide on the products you want to sell via Amazon marketplaces; for each of these products, select an appropriate Amazon product type (This determines the categories in which your products will be placed). By choosing the right product type you ensure that your products will be placed where buyers find similar items in the Amazon catalog. For instructions on setting an Amazon product type for a product in X-Cart, see the section Setting Amazon product types for your products.
5. After setting your products' Amazon product types, go to the Feed submission section in your X-Cart store's Admin area (available via the Feed submission tab of the Amazon Feeds module settings page).
