Configuring a Profile

PrestaShop Amazon Marketplace Profiles


Profiles are used for product creation.

They allow you to assign common characteristics to products so they match Amazon’s expected structure.


A single profile can apply to multiple categories in PrestaShop.

However, a category can only be linked to one profile. The information set in the profile will be applied to all linked products.


Before creating profiles, please first update the table of valid Amazon values in the Tools tab.


Profile Name


Choose a clear and descriptive name related to the type of products exported (e.g. Skirts – Women).



Product Type


The Product Type defines the required and optional fields expected by Amazon.

Select it from the list or search for it.


Example: for a T-shirt profile, choose SHIRT.


Product type



Product Type Fields


After selecting a product type, a list of fields will appear:

Variant


A variant in Amazon corresponds to a PrestaShop combination (e.g. size, color).

Select the relevant attributes in the Variant section.


Example for size/color:

Variant fields


The Variant field is only needed if the category linked to this profile has combinations.


If a variant attribute like SIZE does not appear in the profile, add it from the Optional Available Fields tab on the right.


Example size variant



Required Field Mappings


Fill the required fields using:


  • A corresponding PrestaShop field
  • An Amazon fixed value (Allowed Value)
  • A default fixed value (Default Value)


Example profile fields



Two common cases:


  1. All products share the same value (e.g. Department = Women) → use a fixed value.
  2. The value varies by product → use a matching PrestaShop field (attribute or feature).

Example: if not all products share the same brand, select the corresponding PrestaShop field, usually the manufacturer field.


If you set a Key Features Strategy (see below), you do not need to fill the “Key Product Features” required fields.

Adding Optional Fields


You can add extra fields to enrich your feed (e.g. product weight):

  2. Search for the field
  3. Click the green + icon to add it
