To display different product variants (e.g. different sizes or colours) on a shared product detail page, you need to create a property for variation themes and correctly link it with the valid Amazon values when using the adapter.

1. Create a property for variation themes

You create a new property in PlentyONE specifically for the Amazon variation themes:

1. Create a new property in the menu Setup » Settings » Properties » Configuration.
2. Select the option Item in the dropdown list Scope.
3. Select the option Selection in the dropdown list Type.
4. Enter a unique name in the field Name, e.g. Amazon Variation Themes.
5. Link the property with Amazon.
6. Add links for all categories (= the Amazon product types) for which you want to use variation themes.
7. Save (save) the settings.
   • After saving, the area for selection values appears under the Name section.

2. Add selection values from Amazon Seller Central

The selection values for the property must exactly match the valid values from Amazon.

• Add values for the property in the selection values area.

• Enter the exact designation of the valid values for the variation theme on Amazon as the name for each selection value.

  Important: The variation theme is only transmitted correctly if the name of the selection value exactly matches the designation of the valid value. Tip: You do not need to add all valid values of a variation theme, only those you actually need for your variation themes.

• Save (save) the settings.

Where to find the valid values

You can find the valid values for the variation theme in your reports in Amazon Seller Central.

1. Log in to Amazon Seller Central.
2. Open the menu Reports » Inventory Reports.
3. Select the report type Report: "Listings by Category" in the dropdown list Select report type.
4. Open the inventory report for the respective category.
5. Switch to the tab Valid Values.
6. Navigate to the section Variations.
   • In the first column you will find the variation theme designation - [ TABLE ].
   • The valid values (e.g. NUMBER_OF_ITEMS and COLOUR/NUMBER_OF_ITEMS) that you need to insert as selection values in PlentyONE are listed in the columns next to it.
   • Note: Do not use the values marked with the addition (Deprecated: do not use).
