Many friends have reported that they cannot change the title or content directly in the backend. This is because after a period of time, the information will be locked by Amazon, especially the pictures, titles, and brand names, which are difficult to modify. Even if you change it in the backend, as long as it is not displayed in the frontend, it means that it has not been changed.
It is recommended to try to update the template or contact customer service to modify it. Generally, you can provide product packaging details with UPC, open a case, and it will be changed back. Now let's copy the official Amazon tutorial on uploading using a form.
The download path is relatively simple. The overall path is: "Add Products via Upload" → "Download an Inventory File" → "Inventory Files". In "Inventory Files", the seller finds the template corresponding to the category to be uploaded (as shown in Figure 2 below). Then download the template to your computer. The downloaded template is usually in EXCEL format and contains a total of 6 documents. Get a general understanding of the role of the 6 documents The six EXCEL tables in the bulk upload template are: Instructions, Images, Data Definitions, Template, Example and Valid Values. Below, we explain them one by one. - Instructions: Operation guide, which provides a basic introduction to the entire batch table.
- Images: Image requirements, that is, the requirements for uploading all images.
- Data Definitions: Data definition, which explains each field of the entire bulk upload template.
- Template: Template. That is, the batch upload template. Sellers need to use this template and fill in the required content such as product title, price, UPC, image link, etc. into the template. At the same time, the format of this batch upload template is fixed and sellers cannot modify it at will.
- Example : Amazon provides a case demonstration of uploading a template, which sellers can refer to if needed.
- Valid Values: Valid values
- Data Definitions: The Data Definitions table is worth a look for sellers. It explains each field of the Template document in detail. By reading this table, sellers can know the requirements and points to pay attention to when uploading products in bulk.
TemplateBatch upload template upload steps After understanding the "Data Definitions" table, the next step is for sellers to use Template (bulk upload template) to upload products. As mentioned above, sellers download templates based on the product categories they sell. Therefore, the format and content of the Template (bulk upload template) are different for different categories. Take the Template (bulk upload template) for mobile phone cases as an example. Enter the required information as required by the Data Definitions. In this form, the two fields Field Name and Local Label Name, if they are bold fields, are required. As shown below: After filling all product information into the Template (bulk upload template), sellers can use the "Check Inventory File" function on the "Upload Your Inventory File" page to check the entire template. The system will initially determine whether there are any errors in your form. As shown below: After the seller selects the file type, the file to be checked, fills in the email reminder, and clicks "Check Inventory Files" to check. If there are errors, the system will have a processing report prompt. The seller can download the report and make changes according to the report prompts. After the initial check, the seller continues to upload the form on the "Upload your inventory file" page. As shown in the figure below, select the corresponding file type, file upload, and email reminder. After uploading the form, sellers can switch to the "Monitor Upload Status" page to view the latest batch upload results and download error handling reports. Common bulk upload errors Sellers can find the error report document in the backend search bar. Each error code corresponds to a different error message. By comparing, sellers can modify the information filled in a certain field. If you have previously uploaded using a template, find the previous template, change the part you want to modify, and then select partialupdate. You don't need to change anything else, just upload it directly. If you upload individually, you need to download the batch template, then fill in the required items (fill in the original product information), fill in the content to be modified, then select partialupdate and upload. The following is the specific operation process: - The first step is to download the template for the corresponding product

The steps are as follows: [Upload your inventory file] - [Select file] Upload the filled-in template, and then click the [Upload] button. If the system does not report an error, it means the upload was successful.
