[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”6509″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]WooCommerce is one of the most popular e-commerce platforms on WordPress. It offers online businesses multiple options to minimize their costs, improve overall efficiency and achieve growth.<\/p>\n

However, many business owners want enhanced visibility for selling their products. By accessing global marketplaces, such as Amazon and eBay, these businesses can sell more of their products and earn greater profits.<\/p>\n

The Amazon and eBay Integration for WooCommerce extension by Codisto is WooCommerce\u2019s only official extension that supports<\/a><\/span> integration to these global marketplaces. Online merchants use the extension to implement their multichannel strategy and reach out to millions of customers on Amazon and eBay. In this article, we will discuss how you can integrate WooCommerce with Amazon and eBay.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Setup and Configuration” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]To start off, you can download the extension at WooCommerce<\/a> for free. Nevertheless, installation for the software requires you to pay a subscription fee. You can learn about the pricing of this fully featured multichannel solution at Codisto\u2019s website<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

After downloading and installing the extension on your website, you need to sync your product catalog to the extension. The extension will take a few minutes to complete the sync, depending on the size of the catalog.<\/p>\n

As soon as the sync is completed, the extension will give you a quick tour regarding how to use the tool effectively, and then you will be granted access to your first marketplace.<\/p>\n

Next, you need to set \u201cdefaults\u201d for pre-configuring listings. These settings help you to add new products to WooCommerce quickly. However, you must remember that both Amazon and eBay have different default options. Therefore, you must first choose which marketplace you are setting defaults for. Later, you can connect to another marketplace account to set defaults for it, as well.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”1) Set Defaults” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]You can configure default settings for all categories in the following manner.<\/p>\n

Price & Quantity<\/strong> <\/span>
\nIf you want to update WooCommerce and marketplace listings automatically, you need to configure default settings for \u2018Web Price<\/strong>.\u2019 You also have the option to increase\/decrease the set rates in percentage (%) or value amounts in USD ($). Alternatively, you can also keep this value constant or round off the price if you want.<\/p>\n

Similarly, the default setting for \u2018Web quantity<\/strong>\u2019 automatically updates the number of products from your inventory. This helps the Amazon and eBay Integration for WooCommerce extension to act as a complete Inventory Management system for your website.<\/p>\n

Using the extension, you can live sync to your entire WooCommerce inventory and maintain the remaining quantity after each sale. You have the option to show the inventory amount at a fixed count or create a buffer value for the inventory. For instance, if you have set the buffer value as 3, the extension will then display the total value as 7 when it is 10. Similarly, you can also the select max quantity option, where the extension would show the set value as the remaining inventory unless the inventory drops below the set value.<\/p>\n

Shipping & Returns<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

To set up shipping services for your website, you can add any of the multiple default shipping services available on WooCommerce. You can choose the shipping extension, according to the destination of the package.<\/p>\n

However, to set up defaults for the return policy of your website, you have the option to include Amazon Fulfillment, or any other merchant fulfilled service.<\/p>\n

Categories<\/span> <\/strong>
\neBay gives you the option to enable the \u2018auto-categorization<\/strong>\u2019 feature for its marketplace. It compares your listed products with similar products already on its platform and sets them to the most suitable category. Therefore, you don\u2019t have to categorize your products yourself.<\/p>\n

However, the process takes time to categorize all your products automatically. In case you disable the auto-categorization, you\u2019ll have to set up every individual or product group manually in the Marketplace Listings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Product identifiers<\/strong> <\/span>
\nFor advanced product identification, you need to set the field in WooCommerce that contains your UPC\/EAN\/ISBN data. This helps the extension to match your products with previous listings on the marketplace.<\/p>\n

Listing Duration and Auto List<\/strong><\/span>
\nListing Duration<\/strong> helps you set the duration of your listings on eBay whenever the items are enabled. Furthermore, the Auto List<\/strong> setting allows you to choose whether the new products added to WooCommerce are automatically listed on eBay with the previous default settings.<\/p>\n

Orders<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe Orders<\/strong> setting helps you decide whether to send orders from Amazon\/eBay to WooCommerce<\/a> automatically or not. You can also configure if auto-send is for all your products or only the ones the extension is handling.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, you can also choose whether you receive the order once the customer has committed to buy or when you have in order pending. Both of these settings are helpful as the former relates to eBay, while the latter is for Amazon.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”2) Configuring Marketplace Listings Grid” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]The Marketplace Listings Grid is a vital part of the Amazon and eBay Integration for WooCommerce extension. It is a spreadsheet-style interface for creating and editing marketplace listings instantly.<\/p>\n

The feature is extremely flexible and offers a different configuration for either Amazon or eBay marketplace. Each row in the sheet represents a single product of your product catalog. On the other hand, each column in the sheet represents a separate field for your products.<\/p>\n

On the left side, some columns are fixed, and they show details from your original product catalog in WooCommerce, along with the listing status of the marketplace tab you have selected. The right side of the header represents the marketplace settings and values. You can scroll the grid horizontally if you want to see additional settings.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”3) How to List Products on Amazon and eBay Marketplaces” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]To enlist all your products, you can follow the steps below for each marketplace:<\/p>\n
