Account Settings

This section contains general Amazon account settings

• Account name - the internal name of the account added when connecting Amazon. Use a name that helps you identify it easily if you have multiple accounts
• 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 converting sold out FBA listings to 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
  • Consider the real product qty - when checked, the Switch will run only when the actual product qty is above the defined qty value
• Switch FBM to FBA once FBA qty >0 - enables converting FBM listings to FBA listing even if the listing was initially published as FBM (Fulfilled By Merchant) listing on Amazon
