Amazon listing requirement levels
March 25, 2025
Listing Requirement Levels
Amazon V2 introduces listing requirement levels to determine the level of information you need to provide for your product listings.
This is automatically set to ‘Offer and product’, but you can change this manually in the Settings step of your Amazon API.
Note: Before mapping for your chosen listing requirement level, you must categorize your products. This includes the 'Offer only' requirement level.
Listing requirement level
Description
Use case
Action needed
Offer and product
The default and most commonly used option. It sends core product information (e.g. title, description, images) and offer details (e.g. price, stock, shipping) simultaneously. Selecting this level creates a new product listing on Amazon.
- Creating new products that aren’t in Amazon's existing catalog in one API connection - Making updates to products and/or your product offers
- Map all mandatory product and offer information fields - Ensure all products are mapped to a GTIN, EAN, ASIN or UPC
Offer only
This level is solely focused on the offer-related data of a product. It "attaches" your offer to an existing product listing on Amazon without sending core product details.
When selling products already listed on Amazon.
- Ensure all products are mapped to a unique identifier (GTIN, EAN, ASIN or UPC) - Map all mandatory offer fields (e.g. price, stock, condition)
Product
This level creates a new product listing on Amazon, but the product isn't available for sale until offer details are added. Choose this level to send core product details, such as title, description, and images, without including offer information like price and stock.
- When listing new products not on Amazon's catalog without sending the offer - When solely making content changes to existing products
- Ensure all products have a unique identifier (GTIN, EAN, ASIN or UPC.*) and make sure it’s mapped. - Map all mandatory product fields (e.g. images, titles, descriptions). This is the minimum required to create products.
Conditional requirements
Amazon V2 introduces conditional requirements. Conditional requirements make certain fields mandatory if related data is included.
For example, if you specify Capacity, you must also provide Capacity Unit.
You can find conditional requirements in the Build step in the ‘ Shared attributes’ and ‘ Category-specific attributes’ tabs.
Shared Attributes: Common fields for all products and offers (e.g. EAN, prices, titles).
Category-Specific Attributes: Fields relevant to specific categories (e.g. size for clothing, dimensions for furniture).
Dry runs
The Dry run feature tests your API without sending actual data to Amazon. It checks if your API is configured correctly by checking which products or offers currently exist in your Amazon account and comparing them to your Channable listings.
Running dry runs is a great way to avoid errors when configuring your Amazon API. You can run a dry run as often as you’d like.
Matched items
The new ‘ Matched items’ tab in the Preview step provides a detailed view of how your imported items in Channable align with your Amazon listings.
Channable matches items using Unique ID per item and Seller SKU.
Channable
Field
Description
Unique ID per item
This pulls data from the ID you mapped in the Settings step of your Amazon API.
Item ID
This is the external product ID entered in the Build step. Note: This may not match the item ID in the Amazon tab.
Seller SKU
The corresponding identifier on Amazon.
Amazon
Field
Description
Listing status
Shows the current state of your product listings (i.e. whether your product is live on Amazon or not).
Listing name
The name of your listing as it appears on Amazon.
ASIN
The Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN) of your products. Click on this to view the listing.
Filter items by Status
You can filter the listed items by their current status on Amazon:
Status
Description
Active
This item is live on Amazon.
Inactive
This item isn’t live on Amazon yet, but is available in your account.
Incomplete
These items are missing required information.
No match found
There is no link between the Channable item and any existing Amazon listing. This can happen if the product doesn’t exist in your Amazon inventory, or an incorrect or mismatched Unique ID or Seller SKU.
You can also download your results as a CSV file. At the ‘All’ dropdown menu, select the items you want to filter by status and click Download as CSV.
Regularly check the Preview step to make sure your products are mapped correctly.
New UI, Rule templates, Rule sections, and Rule versioning
March 20, 2025
What’s changed?
The UI for the Rules step has been redesigned! Also, we have released some new features:
New: Rule templates
New: Rule versioning (available with the Core Pro plan)
New: Rule sections — You can now add rule sections to combine multiple conditions and actions (IF/THEN, OR/AND) in a single rule
New channel selection and channel overview
March 10, 2025
What’s changed?
When you add a new feed or a new marketplace in Channable, there is a new channel selection view, Channels — which is in the main navigation. Here you can browse all of the available channels that you can create in Channable, such as comparison websites, marketplaces and social channels.
You can filter channels by country and category.
If you have already created any channels, you can also find these in Channels.
Depending on which channel you select, you will be redirected to either the Feed or Marketplace setup steps.
When you select Google Shopping as a channel, a pop up shows where you need to select either Feed or API.
Some channels require a Marketplaces module subscription and this is indicated by the module icon in the top right of the channel tile.
