Shopify Amazon integration: connect to existing Amazon listings

This step decides whether moving to an integration is painless or expensive. Your Amazon listings carry history, reviews and ranking. Recreating them from scratch throws that away and can leave you competing against your own duplicate ASIN.

The video covers the linking flow. Salestio reads the listings on your Amazon account, you match them to the corresponding Shopify products, and from that point your store's stock and price update the existing listing.

What you will learn

  • Why linking beats re-listing when you already sell on Amazon.
  • How Salestio finds the active listings on a connected Amazon account.
  • How to match a listing to a store product when the SKUs agree, and when they do not.
  • How to verify that a linked listing is driven by your store.

Steps shown in the video

  1. Open the connection screen for your Amazon account in Salestio.
  2. Review the active Amazon listings Salestio has found on the account.
  3. Match each listing to the corresponding Shopify product, by SKU where possible.
  4. Confirm the links and check that quantity and price now come from Shopify.
  5. Repeat for any listings whose SKUs do not match automatically.

Questions about this workflow

You can link manually product by product, and SKU mapping records the correspondence so future syncs and order imports find the right product. Fixing the mismatch at this stage costs less than living with it.
Linking establishes the relationship and starts stock and price sync. Salestio only updates listing content if you choose to push it, so titles, images and descriptions on Amazon stay as they are until you decide otherwise.
