'Find product by' area related to the products mapping - by which identifier the addon will identify (recognize) the publishing data. It is represented with two variations:

Product Name (Manually)

It is means you should link items, which are exporting with the appropriate products on Amazon by using their names manually.

If you select such variant and press 'Next' to move ahead, the second stage provides for the following steps:

• Select the items without identifier and press ‘Find on Amazon’ option (1);

• Once the searching process is completed you will see the list of all variants from Amazon which are the most suitable to the chosen position of the store. Determine the selection(2) and click on the ‘Apply’ button (3).

 

Map by identification code

All listed positions, except of the first one, require the definition of the store's database field (code), the value of which will be taken as an identifier. This field should be presented in the tables of the  store database and respond to the selected identifier above.

For example, if the EAN code is chosen as an identifier on Amazon you should select the similar field from the store database opposite as well.

Take a note, only the fields with the assigned identifiers will be processed.

The Listing form contains base data of exporting: you can configure the condition of products and the other fields related to the brand, quantity and discount dates etc. The two options opposite each positions allows linking the value from the database fields or manually.
