# Product Creation

## Prerequisites

Before starting, please ensure you have:

* [Validated your catalog structure](https://doc.common-services.com/en/article/validate-your-catalog-structure-yj765a/)  
* [Clearly understood the difference between an offer and a product](https://doc.common-services.com/en/article/differentiate-well-between-an-offer-and-a-product-8wqt3f/)  
* [Verified your product eligibility](https://doc.common-services.com/en/article/eligible-products-4fbn3d/)  
* Reviewed the [Amazon categorization system](https://doc.common-services.com/en/article/amazon-categorization-1rby46d/)  


To publish products that **don’t yet exist on Amazon**, you must enable the **Product Creation** feature first.

## First Steps 

1. **Create a Profile**  
   ➕ [How to create a profile](https://doc.common-services.com/en/article/configuring-a-profile-1kvy93l/)

2. **Set up the Mappings**  
   🔗 These fields are required to send product data to Amazon  
   ➕ [Learn more about Mappings](https://doc.common-services.com/en/article/mappings-amazon-marketplace-dk2fu0/)

3. **Assign a Profile to a Category**  
   🏷️ Link each PrestaShop category to an Amazon profile  
   ➕ [See the Categories tab](https://doc.common-services.com/en/article/categories-amazon-marketplace-1bkrnk5/)

4. **Select the Products to Create**  
   🛒 From the product page, in the Amazon sub-tab, check Create for the products to be sent **(Important: do not click the native PrestaShop "Save and publish" button after checking “Create", or it will reset to "Update".)**
   ➕ [How to select products](https://doc.common-services.com/en/article/select-products-op61wy/)

||| ⚠️ Important: At this stage, the profile is not complete yet. Amazon determines required fields dynamically, so some mandatory fields will still be missing. ➡️ You will identify missing fields in next step using the report, and add them to the profile.

## Sending the Product Feed

1. Go to **Catalog > Amazon** > **Products**
2. Click **Verify** to check for missing or invalid information  
3. Click **Send to Amazon** to submit the feed  
4. View the results in the Amazon **Report (read carefully how to access and read the report: [https://doc.common-services.com/en/article/report-1ev67zk/](https://doc.common-services.com/en/article/report-1ev67zk/))**
5. The report will show which fields are missing → update them in the [profile](https://doc.common-services.com/en/article/report-1ev67zk/#2-errors-in-product-creation-mode)  
6. Send the products again until there are no more errors in the report
7. Verify on Amazon Seller Central: it may take a few hours for products to process and appear in your inventory.

|| ➡️ Repeat this process until there are no more errors in the report

||| ⚠️ Note: There is no scheduled task (cron) for creating new products. Scheduled tasks only synchronize offers (price, stock, etc.), not product creation.

## Feed Options

These options let you adjust the content and scope of the feed before sending it to Amazon:

* **Display JSON**  
  Displays the feed content **without sending** it to Amazon (diagnostic mode)

* **Include List Price**  
  Includes the reference price (recommended retail price) if configured in the profile.

* **Include Latency**  
  Includes the handling/preparation time before dispatch

* **Limiter**  
* **No Limit**: sends all selected products  
* **Limit to n Products**: useful to avoid PHP limits or send in batches  

* **Send Relations Only**  
  Sends only relationships (variants, parent/child) without full product data  

* **Send Entire Catalog**  
  Forces a full catalog feed instead of only selected products
