Two ways to import products into categories and sub-categories
1. To import products into the same categories as in the Amazon store with automatic creation of all sub-categories structure.
You might check these categories in the Categories option while you view the product imported from Amazon store.
2. To import products into existing category. In this case you need to manually set the category.
Please set "Use existing Magento categories" in the "Import" tab.
Import Fulfillment by Amazon products
Navigate to Magento admin Panel-->WEAmazon-->Settings --> Search and Import settings tab. there is Include only items sold by Amazon parameter. Set it to "Yes" value.

How to manage attributes of Amazon products in Magento
1. Find Amazon product to view a list of attributes (Amazon Item Information-> Additional Attributes tab)
2. Copy required attribute names
3. Catalog->Attributes->Manage Attributes->Add new Attribute.
Catalog input type must be set to Dropdown value in order to be visible in the layered navigation.
Don't forget to add a dimension of the size attribute in the Manage Label / Options tab.
4. Catalog->Attributes->Manage Attribute Sets. Add this attribute to required set.
5. WEAmazon->Settings-> Attributes Mapping. Paste copied attribute names of the Amazon product
6.You can add an expression with Amazon attribute names. For example to calculate Size from Package Dimension values

A layered navigation with attributes (for example: brand, color) is now available
Attribute Size is calculated using the equation placed in the Attributes mapping section

Manage prices
Import Amazon Prices to Magento
This formula will be applied in sync:
- New Price = Converted Price + Converted Price * pA / 100 + pB.
- Final Price = New Price + New Price * pC / 100.
Options may be set individually for every products. If you go to the section Amazon Import Products on the product page in the backend. There would be options:
- Price Adjustment, pA (%)
- Price Adjustment, pB
- Price Adjustment, pC (%)
pA - is a percentage adjustment, for example, you have an Amazon price $100, you set pA field to 15, your final price would be $100 + 15% = $115
pB - is a fixed value adjustment. For example, you set pB to 25, The Amazon price is $125, the final price would be $125 + $25 = $150
pC - is also a percentage adjustment applied after pA and pB values changes the price.
You can make a bulk attributes change. Get to the product list, check all products, select action Update attributes and find proper attributes to change (for example Price Adjustment, pA (%). It will only change after the product is synchronized.
You can import products from Amazon and display prices in your locale currency. The currency conversion is based on a default Magento functionality. Rates are placed at System->Manage Currency->Rates section.
Get Lowest/Highest available price
WEAmazon-> Search & Import Products.
Take prices from Amazon directly
WEAmazon->Settings-> Html parsing features.
Why the extension not always gives expected Amazon product price
Magento extension displays the information provided by the Amazon API. There are two possible reasons to this behavior:
- Amazon API caches data. And it takes time to refresh the cache. So, after some time the price might become as expected
- For different regions (countries) different price is given
There are also Amazon Products API options which affect the price. For example "Default price ..."
Another option is "Default condition..."
You can try changing them and check if prices are changing.
Import reviews
Display Amazon reviews in the iFrame
WEAmazon->Settings-> Customer Reviews.
Post Amazon reviews as Magento native reviews
Note. Reviews are not loaded instantly, since they are parsed from the site. Amazon might delay the answer or temporarily block parser. So we have set 5s wait timeout and 10s load timeout for review loading function. If reviews were not loaded with the product import, they would be loaded later during synchronization.
WEAmazon->Settings-> Customer Reviews.
There are two options "Load Amazon customer reviews as Magento reviews (not API) - Yes/No" and "Include customer reviews in a product description inside an iframe" - "Yes/No".
Also you will need associate the Amazon rating with the Magento rating.
Download reviews for the specific ASIN and associate them to the SKU in Magento
SKU may be any. After Amazon Products Manager is installed. You would be able to define ASINs for every product already placed in your Magento (Product Information-->Amazon Import Products-->Amazon Standard Item Number). After that reviews would be imported during synchronization.
You can import only Amazon reviews and nothing else
Images
Do not import main image to More Views section
Magento admin Panel-->WEAmazon->Settings-> General
Reverse images order
WE Amazon->Settings->Additional settings
Insert Amazon locales with reverse images order.
Load Hi-res images
Hi-res images are taken from the product pages on Amazon site. This is HTML-parsing feature.
WE Amazon->Settings->Html parsing features
- Get product page html from Amazon site: Yes
- Get Hi-Res images of a product from Amazon directly (not API): Yes
Amazon sometimes give captcha page instead of the actual page. So HTML parsing features are not 100% working, since Amazon might block http requests or put captcha pages.
You will need to add a captcha solver. There is a way to add captcha solver account in the extension settings.
