Product Creation Generalities

Profiles

Profiles are used to assign common characteristics to your products so that they comply with the structure expected by Amazon.
A single profile can be applied to multiple categories in PrestaShop. However, a category can only be associated with one profile.
The settings defined in the profile will be used for all products linked to that profile.

Models / Templates (Flat File)

When you are not using the module, you need to use Amazon’s import file called a Flat File.
With the module, this file is normally not required. However, we recommend downloading it because it contains helpful information—especially in the Valid Values tab—that can assist you when configuring your profile.

Classification and Categorization

Amazon organizes products by Product Type and Category. These are distinct elements:

Your profile will be assigned a Product Type.
The Amazon categorization is defined by a recommended browse node, which is also independent of the product type.

These values will be automatically applied to all products assigned to the profile.

Combinations / Variants

Your PrestaShop combinations (e.g., size, color) are automatically converted to Amazon variants.
Make sure to select the correct attributes in your profile—typically Size and/or Color.
