My Shopify product SKUs are different in every Amazon Marketplace, what do I do?

The ByteStand MCF Shipping app can connect to multiple Amazon marketplaces including the United States, Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom, Europe (Spain, Italy, France, & Germany, Japan, and Australia. Which is amazing. But, the app does use your product SKUs to map the products between Amazon & Shopify.

A stores best option is to edit the product SKUs in Shopify to match their Amazon SKUs. The app does not use Amazon ASINs, FNSKUs, ISBNs, barcodes, etc. Just SKU.

I have multiple marketplaces but my product SKUs are different in each marketplace, what do I do?

Option #1

Keep in mind that Shopify only allows you to assign one SKU to each product listing. That may mean that you must duplicate your product listings and assign the correct SKU to each product! Problem solved! Right?

Not quite. Now you have duplicated product listings! How confusing! This video will explain how to set up the app, duplicate your products, and why you need an app called LockSmith to help with inventory syncing! That way the correct inventory levels appear to the correct customers based on the customers shipping country.

Create a Lock: This is how you create a ‘lock’ It looks like you will have to duplicate your products and place them in 3 different collections. Then you can ‘lock’ the correct locations so only the correct customers (based off of their IP Address ) can see the items in their country.) https://docs.uselocksmith.com/article…

This tells you how to ‘lock based off of location’ Try this article. https://docs.uselocksmith.com/article…

Enable & use ByteStand Virtual Bundle feature

If that all seems like to much you could use ByteStand’s Virtual Bundle feature which will help you ‘translate’ your products SKUS between Shopify to Amazon based on their marketplace! You would have to enable the Virtual Bundle feature in every marketplace!

Here is a video that shows you how to enable the Virtual Bundle add-on feature along with some of ByteStand’s other awesome add-on features.
