# How to Sync Print-on-Demand (POD) Products on Amazon

(In the CS Amazon Sync app)

###### Introduction:

This guide outlines the different methods for listing and synchronizing your Print-on-Demand (POD) products from Shopify onto Amazon. You can either leverage existing Amazon listings or create new listings under your own brand.

**Methods for Listing POD Products on Amazon:**

You have two primary options for listing your POD products on Amazon:

**1. Syncing with Existing Amazon Listings (Using Actions > Lookup):**

This method is suitable when a similar product already exists on Amazon. You can follow the steps outlined on this documentation: [How to Sync dropshipping products to Amazon](https://doc.common-services.com/en/article/how-to-sync-shopify-dropshipping-products-to-amazon-phzwnv/)

**2. Listing Under Your Own Brand (Creating New Amazon Listings):**

This method allows you to establish your own brand presence on Amazon, but requires additional steps.

**Considerations and Requirements:**

*   **Barcode Exemption:** POD products typically do not have barcodes (UPC/EAN). You **must** obtain a barcode exemption from Amazon before creating new listings. This is done directly within your Amazon Seller Central account.
    *   **Process:** Create *one* product listing directly on Amazon Seller Central. During the listing process, you'll be prompted to request a barcode exemption. Follow Amazon's instructions.
*   **Brand Registry:** You must register your brand name with Amazon Brand Registry to protect your brand and access enhanced listing features.
*   **Matching Groups and Models in the App:** You need to configure matching groups and models within the app. This will help facilitate the creation of new listings on Amazon.
|| **Note:** Even with matching groups and models configured, all new Amazon listings are still subject to Amazon's review and approval process.
