Amazon launches new feature to make it easier for sellers to edit products

Amazon sellers often need to deal with store issues anytime and anywhere, so even when traveling, they may need to carry a computer to operate remotely. Last year, Amazon began to vigorously promote its own seller mobile client, so that sellers no longer need to rely on computers and can check store status on their mobile phones at any time.

However, the mobile app has limited functions, so only a few sellers use it to manage their stores. Mobile phones are definitely more convenient. If Amazon can improve the functions of the mobile app, I believe more sellers will use the app. So recently, Amazon announced that it would add a new function to the seller's mobile app - now sellers can create or edit products through the mobile app.

This product editing function requires buyers to upgrade their mobile app to the latest version before they can use it. Places such as inventory and selling price can be edited, and some basic product information can also be changed . At the same time, you can also select categories and upload new products.

It is quite sufficient to modify the existing listing, and it is very convenient and does not require any computer operation. However, if you want to upload a product from scratch, it may take several times longer than computer operation , and if there are many variations, it will be a nightmare to upload.

Don’t count on transferring products via mobile phones. Most sellers won’t want to transfer products even if they need to use mobile phones. It is more comfortable to use it to modify inventory, prices and some small amounts of information.

Combined with other functions of the mobile app, it can be said that this update has improved the Amazon Seller App to a "barely usable" level . When you need to go out and can't carry a computer around, the mobile app can basically make up for it (sellers who need a download link can add me: zyqmda). Many sellers were not familiar with this mobile app before, so I will tell you about several functions that can be achieved on the mobile app.

Now in the latest version of the mobile APP, in addition to the new function of adding/editing products mentioned above, you can also check sales, manage inventory, check orders and confirm shipments, view advertising data and reply to buyer messages .

The most commonly used function is probably the buyer message, because Amazon requires sellers to reply within 24 hours or it will be displayed as timed out. Many Amazon sellers have to worry about whether there will be any messages from the store when they go out for travel. The mobile app can check store messages and replies at any time. If it is inconvenient to type , you can directly mark it as not needing to reply, just like the computer version.

Then you can view advertising and sales data, edit ad groups, adjust bids, budgets, and turn ad groups on and off directly on your phone. This is very useful for sellers who need to adjust ad groups by time period. Because of the time difference, the adjustment of time period strategy usually needs to be done at night, and at this time, mobile phone operation is more user-friendly than computer operation.

In summary, the addition of this new function allows the Amazon mobile app to temporarily replace the computer app when you are out and about, to perform some simple operations and deal with emergencies. If there are no major problems with the store, you can basically go out and play with your phone.

And there is another advantage of the mobile phone, that is - when connecting to the wifi outside, it will not be associated due to network problems! ! This is something that cannot be done when taking a laptop out to visit a store. You must be very careful when connecting a computer to the Internet outside. If you connect to a private network with a store, the probability of being associated is very high. The mobile phone will not have this problem (official confirmation). Even if the phone using the seller's APP connects to a network that already has a store, network association will not occur.

PS. If you log in to two stores separately using your mobile phone, they will still be linked.

However, some complex operations cannot be performed on the mobile phone. Things like promotional discounts still need to be modified on the computer. Amazon may add more functions to the app in the future. Sellers who often go out can pay more attention to it.
