- Setting Up the "Amazon Integration" for the First TimeSelling on Amazon brings a lot of daily busywork: copying every order into "Edara" by hand, changing quantities on Amazon whenever stock moves, and keeping track of what Amazon ships from its own warehouses. As orders grow, so do the mistakes, and your stock falls behind reality.
- Linking Amazon Products to "Edara" Items in the "Amazon Integration"Your Amazon product codes don't always look like your "Edara" item codes: sometimes they end in an extra such as -az, and sometimes Amazon makes them itself. As long as a product doesn't know its item, its orders can't go into "Edara" and its Amazon quantity can't be updated.
- Syncing Orders and Handling Held Orders in the "Amazon Integration"When Amazon orders come in every day, it isn't enough for most of them to reach "Edara": one order stuck on an unlinked product or a missing quantity can mean a late shipment and wrong stock, and it's hard to spot among dozens of orders.
- Approving Returns and Refunds in the "Amazon Integration"When a buyer returns a product on Amazon, Amazon refunds them and the product goes back to its warehouses, but "Edara" doesn't know about it. Unless you record every return yourself, your revenue and stock drift from reality, and refunds where nothing came back slip past you.
- Reviewing and Approving FBA Stock Differences in the "Amazon Integration"When Amazon ships your products from its warehouses, stock there changes for reasons you don't see: a damaged unit, a count, or a shipment that arrived short. Over time, the FBA warehouse balance in "Edara" drifts from what Amazon actually counts, and you make decisions on the wrong numbers.
- Syncing Stock and Prices in the "Amazon Integration"When you sell the same product in your shop and on Amazon, the available quantity changes every day, and the sales price changes whenever your cost does. Updating that on Amazon by hand sometimes means selling what's run out, or a product at an old price that doesn't cover its cost.
