Amazon Musical Instruments Template issue

Printer-friendly version    Send to friend    7 replies

I want to vary a product by Size and Colour, though the Musical Instrument Template only lets me choose 'Colour' as a variation theme.
I download the MusicalInstrument Flat File from Amazon and it suggests that Size AND Colour can be used.

Is this a discrepancy between CA's template and Amazons Flat File?

Cheers
Mark

Mark,
We will investigate and update if appropriate.  We typically keep tabs on when these things change, and/or are alerted by Amazon, but I am not aware of this change so will need to confirm.  Sometimes Amazon makes changes to the flat files you can download from Seller Central before they make the change available in the API - assuming all is in sync we will get that updated soon.

Thanks for the heads up,
Jennifer

 Hey Jennifer.

Please could you keep my up to date on progress (either way). If it needs changing does it need to wait for the next release?

Cheers
Mark

Mark,
Will do - we have quickly looked and definitely need to call Amazon UK as their documentation has a conflict at the moment and we need clarification.  If we need to make a change it will require a release.

Mark,
While visiting Amazon last week we brought this up. There are some mixed messages we are trying to work through now and hope to have it figured out shortly.

 Hi Jennifer

Sorry to bother you but I'm stumped quite a bit as I need the variations to use in my Amazon Webstore too :-(

Is this likely to be sorted by the next release?
Cheers

Hi Mark:

With the ChannelAdvisor release this past Monday, we updated the Amazon Musical Instrument category template. In case you missed it, below is a paragraph from our release notes:

Musical Instruments Category Update  - Amazon sellers in the US, UK, France and Germany now have access to the updated template fields for the Musical Instrument category. The updated category includes new product refinements as well as the ability to specify variations by product type. By using this updated template, you will be able to provide additional attributes for your products which will provide better visibility for your products in Amazon's search and browse. For a full list of available product variations, please see the  Musical Instrument Category   page. For a full list of supported Amazon categories, please see the  Amazon Product Categories SSC page.

Thanks!
