First, we need to get your Amazon accounts connected to MixShift. The process is to first add the Amazon logins you use to manage accounts, then activate advertising and retail data for each seller and/or vendor.

Do this first: Connect Accounts

Connect your Amazon accounts in the Advertising Accounts tab of the platform. This will create the merchant records we need to activate both advertising and retail data.

Pro Tip: Name your Accounts as the email you use to sign into Amazon. This will help you (and us) track which Account is tied to a given email login.

Then do this: Activate Ads

Activate your advertising data for each merchant in the Advertising Merchants tab. Sellers and Vendors are the same as far as ads go. The ad data is required for the majority of the platform and reports.

Lastly, do this: Activate Retail

Activate your retail data for each merchant in the SP-API Merchants tab. The retail data is required for the majority of the platform and reports as well, including the all-important TACOS reporting.

*Important: Vendor retail data activation follows a different process than Seller. Please see the video below detailing how to activate Vendor sales, inventory, forecasting, and more data:
