List FBA Products in Bulk
Learn how you can upload product listings in bulk using a flat file instead of listing each product individually.
You can create listings for Fulfillment by Amazon products in bulk by uploading a tab-delimited list. There are inventory file templates for specific Amazon categories that you can download and use to create your listing files.
For more information about listing products in bulk, see Inventory File Templates.
After you have successfully uploaded the list, you can use the FBA Fulfillment Attributes template to update FBA-specific product information not included in the inventory file templates.
When you use inventory file templates to create your FBA listings, there are several fields that you must fill in correctly to list your products for Fulfillment by Amazon. If you enter the information incorrectly, your FBA listings will revert to showing as being fulfilled by merchant:
| Field Name | Fulfilled by Amazon | Fulfilled by Merchant |
|---|---|---|
| FulfillmentCenterID | Enter "AMAZON_EU" for all of your FBA listings. | Leave this field blank or enter "DEFAULT" for your listings that you want to fulfil on your own. |
| Quantity | Do not enter a value in this field. If you indicated "AMAZON_EU" in the FulfilmentCenterID field, these quantities will be ignored. You can enter quantities in the shipping workflow when you create a shipment to a fulfillment center. | Enter the quantity of the product you are making available for sale. This is your current inventory commitment. If left blank and you did not enter a FulfilmentCenterID when first submitting the product information, the product will be displayed as "Out of stock." |
