Understanding logging

🔄 How automatic synchronization works

The Amazon module for PrestaShop uses an internal logging system. Each time a product is updated (price, stock, description, etc.), an event is recorded in the database when you click Save. These updates are then processed during the next export to Amazon.

⚙️ In detail

The module relies on PrestaShop Hooks to detect changes:
🔗 PrestaShop Dev Docs – Hooks
🔗 PrestaShop Help Center – Hook System

💡 Note: This mechanism works across all PrestaShop versions.

📦 What does the module sync?

By default, the module sends:
Quantities
Prices

...and only for products that have been modified.

📤 Batch sending (unlike the eBay module)

Unlike the eBay module, which sends updates immediately, the Amazon module works with grouped feeds.

📝 For each update:
The module records the action in a log table
At the next sync (manual or cron), all logged updates are sent as a single feed
Once Amazon sends back a receipt, the log entry is deleted

✅ This ensures your Amazon data is always up to date.

🛠️ External software compatibility

If you use third-party software (ERP, POS, etc.), make sure it triggers PrestaShop native hooks. If not, updates won’t be detected.
👉 You can share this section with your technical provider.

🔎 Test the logging system

To make sure it works:
Open a product page
Change the quantity and click Save
Go to the Amazon module > Tools tab
You should see a new entry in the queue (log)

This queue will be used for the next Amazon export.
