<summary>I'm not sure if my products are in Amazon's catalog / have ASINs</summary>

To check if a product is in Amazon's catalog (and its ASIN), [visit this page in your Amazon seller account](https://sellercentral.amazon.co.uk/product-search/bulk/generate/add-offer) or check manually:&#x20;

1. Log in to your [Amazon Seller Central account](https://sellercentral.amazon.com/ap/signin?openid.pape.max_auth_age=0\&openid.return_to=https%3A%2F%2Fsellercentral.amazon.com%2Fhome\&openid.identity=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0%2Fidentifier_select\&openid.assoc_handle=sc_na_amazon_v2\&openid.mode=checkid_setup\&language=en_US\&openid.claimed_id=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0%2Fidentifier_select\&pageId=sc_na_amazon_v2\&openid.ns=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0\&ssoResponse=eyJ6aXAiOiJERUYiLCJlbmMiOiJBMjU2R0NNIiwiYWxnIjoiQTI1NktXIn0.0YXiCJ2rrQA0912o_HMme1HH7-a6QMIuxIfl9FUqiP0zZQePaZUJFA.ftcs4hqyGkOJhKtF.ooWSMTtOL3V3TWj4dNhh3yOgNRVJkq5ZVkKrRgH8bWm3tsmH8ejBqCjQV-cfKgPL5wZqpLbuT-hDmR018reEO1Ie4cao7j2D5ccEs9bB-eD5vwvczX7q-XVyQuZ6yDJwaYk5rgM2ooY96uiZfiyrAw1Eb2GKrAuOzREzhoSUnqiKtzsKNDzTW92AVwfQYlZ02UxDndsHFxeUj_8T-y6Ype36QWoy5C_fa_gBH7oVKogmBcNdpH9xhVujH5IRSW_i0w.A7FH419t6WdyltXnndu5Lg).
2. In the Catalogue section, select **Add Products via Upload** and click **Download blank template**.
3. In **List products already in Amazon’s catalogue**, click **Get Listing Loader**.
4. For **Spreadsheet language**, select the language and marketplace (Amazon country) you’re selling your products in.
5. In the text box, copy and paste the product IDs you want to check. You can search up to 500 IDs at a time.&#x20;
6. Click **Generate spreadsheet**. This may take a few minutes to download.
7. Open the spreadsheet and click on **Template** tab.
8. Check the green F column to view the product’s ASIN number.&#x20;

Your product doesn’t exist in the Amazon catalog. You’ll need to create a new Amazon product. \
\
In **Step 1**, follow the use case: “[I want to create a new listing, or change data in an existing listing and manage my offers. (providing both product and offer data)](#i-want-to-create-a-new-listing-or-change-product-data-product-only) ”\
\
**My products all have ASIN numbers**

In **Step 1**, follow the use case: “[I want to add my offer to an existing listing on Amazon (update offer-related data \[e.g. price, stock, shipping\] only)](#i-want-to-add-my-offer-to-an-existing-listing-on-amazon-offer-only)”&#x20;

Before you can list your products, make sure you have [permission ](https://sell.amazon.nl/en/productvermeldingen-guide#step2)from Amazon to sell them.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://helpcenter.channable.com/list-advertise/amazon/list-items-on-amazon/how-to-set-up-an-amazon-channel.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
