How to add products on Amazon | Bulk Listing on Amazon | Complete Steps

A new seller on Amazon must know how to add products on Amazon. Whether to add a single listing or bulk listing on Amazon, a seller has to go through the listing process to showcase his products on the platform. In this post, I will cover the listing process using two methods, shared below.

How to add products on Amazon –

1. Single Listing on Amazon
2. Amazon Bulk Listing

1. Single Listing on Amazon:

Single listing on Amazon is a straightforward process. A seller who wishes to list just a single or a couple of products can use this method. As covered in my post on Amazon seller central tutorial, you need to visit the Amazon Catalogue tab and choose the option “Add Products” from the drop-down menu.

Inside the menu, you have an option to insert the product UAN, ISBN, or ASIN number to check if it’s already listed on Amazon. If you are selling a unique product not listed in Amazon, then you need to click on the option “I’m adding a product not sold on Amazon”.

Once done, you will be greeted with a category menu. Choose your product category and sub-category from the list and proceed. After the completion of this process, a listing form is displayed by Amazon. You need to fill the columns and submit for quality check, once approved by the Amazon system, the listing will be live on the platform within 15 minutes. I will explain the important columns to fill on the listing form in the Amazon bulk listing method, shared below.

Remember, if you have multiple products, bulk listing on Amazon is a far better process than a single listing. It will shorten your time in half and improves efficiency.

2. Amazon Bulk Listing:

Want to list more products in the best possible time. Amazon bulk listing is your answer. It’s a simple and efficient process to get your products listed faster on Amazon. To access this method, you need to visit the Amazon Catalogue and choose the option “I’m uploading a file to add multiple products”.

Once done, you will see a tab indicating to “Download an inventory file” by choosing a relevant category for your products.

After the category selection, just below the manual, you will see a “Node ID” generated by the Amazon system. Node ID is a category-specific indicator that helps the system place and showcases the products on relevant categories or searches on the Amazon platform. For example – A casual shirt on Amazon will not showcase in the Footwear category, it will only showcase under the shirts category because of the marked Node ID against its listing. Therefore, make sure your Node ID should be relevant to your product.

You will see a yellow button asking you to generate the template file. Click on it to download the category-specific template file. Alternatively, use the inventory file menu to download the category-specific inventory as shown in the Amazon bulk listing video.
