You can run an Amazon catalogue export directly in the catalogue settings in test mode before activating it finally. Please note that the test mode only includes a technical validation by Amazon and does not include a content review.

Prerequisites

Before you can start the test, the following conditions must be met:

• In the menu Items » Items » [Open item] » Section: Amazon, the current product type is linked for the variant.
• For product catalogues:
  • You have added the Amazon product types under Setup » Markets » Amazon » Add catalogue templates for which you want to create product catalogues.
  • You have created a product catalogue for the corresponding product type.
  • You have linked the data fields in the product catalogue.
• For offer catalogues:
  • You have created an offer catalogue.
  • You have linked the data fields in the offer catalogue.

Start catalogue export in test mode

1. Open the menu Data » Catalogues.
2. Open the Amazon catalogue you want to test.
3. Switch to the Settings tab on the left side.
4. In the Amazon settings section, activate the test mode option.
5. Save the settings.
6. Open the menu Data » Catalogues again. → A list of catalogues will be displayed.
7. Scroll to the Amazon catalogue.
8. Slide the toggle switch to the right in the Active column.

The catalogue will now be activated and a test export will be sent to Amazon within 15 minutes. All changes since the last transmission will be sent.

Check the reports of the test export

After the test, reports are available. You can use these to check why a catalogue may not have been accepted by Amazon or if you need to link additional data fields.

You have two options to view and download the reports:

• In the menu Setup » Markets » Amazon » Data exchange » Data export in the section Reports on catalogue export.
• In the menu Data » Log.
  • Filter here by the integration Plenty\Modules\Amazon\Item\Listings\Services\HTTPDataSenderService and the identifier DataSenderService.
