We have new settings and fields active for you to aid in assigning your items to the correct Shipping Template that you've created on Amazon.   You'll find a new field in the Amazon Attributes section of your listing page titled Shipping Template  and you'll find matching settings for it in the Amazon Attributes section of the Single List Page Settings.  The list you create in your settings will create the drop down menu you see on your listing page.

If you wish to upload this information you can send it using a header of 'amz_shipping_template' (all lower case).  Supply the name of the template for the items in your file and that will be the template that we use.   Note: if the name of the template that you are uploading does not already exist in your Single List Page Settings the item will display 'default' for the shipping template on the listing page.  It would be best to enter the names of your shipping templates to the settings page before sending it via a file.  However, if you do not first enter it to your settings, you can use the 'Populate list from Inventory' check to pull those into your list.  

 

Happy Selling!  Let us know what questions, or concerns you have.

  Support has been added for shipping template matching for every one of Amazon's sites that AoB supports.  You will now find new Single List Page Settings for the Amazon Attributes section which creates the drop down menu used on the Single List Page that will allow to assign templates singley to each item, and can set your default per channel from there as well.  

  For those interested in uploading this data please use a venue specific header in your file as follows:

  • Amazon.com - amz_shipping_template
  • Amazon.ca - amc_shipping_template
  • Amazon.mx - amx_shipping_template
  • Amazon.co.uk - amu_shipping_tempate
  • Amazon.fr - amf_shipping_tempate
  • Amazon.de - amd_shipping_tempate
  • Amazon.es - ame_shipping_tempate
  • Amazon.it - ami_shipping_tempate

  Some of you may have had some hacked in support for amu previously and it will still function for you in the absence of specific European templates.  Please let us know your questions or concerns below as a comment, or by visiting Live Chat.  I will get the rest of our help pages updated over the next week.  Thank you!

  The shipping templates set up in Amazon are not all lower case, are you requiring lower case? Will lower case match what is not lower case on Amazon? The templates also do not have -, do you require that? I guess I am asking, do we have to change the Amazon templates to match your formatting?

  I wish you had sent this out in the weekly email that you encouraged us all to sign up for and never sent. I've been watching and watching for your solution and still missed this.

  The lower case comment I made was in reference to the header you should use if you're sending the information via a file that you are going to upload to your account.  The template name should match Amazon's template names exactly, including case and character.

  I can see how valuable having the shipping templates available for the other AZ countries would be, but as someone who does not sell on those venues, could you add an option on the Single List Settings page to hide them? It takes a fair amount of "real estate" on the Single List page, and it seems like I was already doing a whole lot of scrolling there before adding them to the page.

  We understand this and you're not alone in this wish.  We would like nothing more than to make this a much more pleasant experience.  However, within the attributes sections its not currently possible to limit the display to only those venues on which you're active without rewriting vast amounts of code.  And current load dictates that it's not going to be able to be prioritized anytime in the near future.  If I had another another answer to offer I would do so gladly.

  Understand. There are bigger items on my wish list than this one!
