Account Settings

This section contains general Amazon account settings

• Description - describe briefly the specifics of the account
• Is default account? - if checked, that Amazon account will be used by default on the Post operations
• Authorization method - method used for authorizing access to Amazon

Tools

This section defines how product listings and orders are handled:

• Deactivate listings in place of delete - defines what happens when deleting a product on Amazon through Valigara.
  • Checked - the listings is set as Inactive on Amazon. Allows restoring listings if deleted by accident. 
  • Unchecked - listings is permanently deleted. Avoids having lots of Inactive listings in the Amazon Seller Central
• Get orders from additional marketplaces - for listings posted in unified Amazon accounts, the orders might happen on different Amazon sites or external sales channels. Select local Amazon sites (like Mexico, Canada) to import orders from.
• Do not fulfill FBA orders - override the "Fulfill Automatically" setting in Stock Settings, for orders from Amazon account, in case FBA is used as fulfillment center. 
  • Attention: if unchecked, the FBA orders might be fulfilled twice (once before appearing in Valigara, and second if the "Fulfill Automatically" option in Valigara is enabled)!
• Switch to FBM once FBA is sold out -  enables revising sold out FBA listings as an FBM (Fulfilled By Merchant) listing.
  • Define the quantity to revise with. 
  • If the qty is left empty, all available product quantity is taken to Amazon
