Title: Amazon Handmade Last modified: February 20, 2019 --- # Amazon Handmade * Resolved [muhackl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/muhackl/) * (@muhackl) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/amazon-handmade/) * Dear WP-Lister support, I recently asked amazon seller support, if their API already supports the category “Handmade”. It seemed, publishing Handmade products via WP-Lister is not possible due to API restrictions. I got this answer. Can you please help me somehow, if syncing handmade products is now possible via your plugin? * (Btw: Uploading a stock file perfectly works for handmade products. When I try using the stock file als custom xlsm template file, WP-Lister is telling me: An invalid site_code (amazon) was provided. The file was named amazon.de_handmade. xlsm by me.) * The reply is originally in German but I attached a deepl translation in English below. * DE: Es können Handmade Angebote mit Hilfe einer Lagerbestandsdatei (Ausnahme der Kategorie Bekleidung) erstellt werden und auch bei den Bestellberichten kann eine Schnittstelle eingerichtet und sollte funktionieren. * Gerne auch hier die Hilfeseiten: * Handmade-Produkte mithilfe von Lagerbestandsdateivorlagen hochladen: [https://sellercentral-europe.amazon.com/gp/help/help.html?itemID=MU4YRNPVSDUGJZX&language=de_DE&ref=ag_MU4YRNPVSDUGJZX_relt_LULUETJPP24ZZAE&referral=AFKLMZZOJIK0S_A3O12K6K7LYFF9](https://sellercentral-europe.amazon.com/gp/help/help.html?itemID=MU4YRNPVSDUGJZX&language=de_DE&ref=ag_MU4YRNPVSDUGJZX_relt_LULUETJPP24ZZAE&referral=AFKLMZZOJIK0S_A3O12K6K7LYFF9) * Häufig gestellte Fragen zum Hochladen der Lagerbestandsdatei für Handmade: [https://sellercentral-europe.amazon.com/gp/help/help.html?itemID=LULUETJPP24ZZAE&language=de_DE&ref=ag_LULUETJPP24ZZAE_cont_201817280&referral=AFKLMZZOJIK0S_A3O12K6K7LYFF9](https://sellercentral-europe.amazon.com/gp/help/help.html?itemID=LULUETJPP24ZZAE&language=de_DE&ref=ag_LULUETJPP24ZZAE_cont_201817280&referral=AFKLMZZOJIK0S_A3O12K6K7LYFF9) * Ich würde Sie in diesem Fall bitten die Schnittstelle einzurichten und auszuprobieren. * Bei Fragen zur Schnittstelle oder Problemlösungen bitte ich Sie sich direkt an die entsprechende Abteilung zu wenden da wir im Verkäuferservice leider hierzu keine Hilfestellung leisten können. * Bitte kontaktieren Sie dazu unsere Kollegen vom MWS-Team in Cork. * Beachten Sie jedoch bitte, dass die Kollegen den Support nur in Englisch anbieten können und Sie Ihre Anfrage daher in Englisch stellen müssen. * Die entsprechenden links finden Sie hier: * 1) Registrierung für MWS [https://developer.amazonservices.de/index.html](https://developer.amazonservices.de/index.html) * 2) Kontaktformular für das MWS-Team [https://sellercentral.amazon.de/gp/mws/contactus.html?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0&](https://sellercentral.amazon.de/gp/mws/contactus.html?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0&); * Und hier noch die Hilfeseite zum Thema MWS: [https://sellercentral-europe.amazon.com/gp/help/help-page.html/ref=ag_200389230_cont_scsearch?ie=UTF8&itemID=200389230&referral=AFKLMZZOJIK0S_A3O12K6K7LYFF9](https://sellercentral-europe.amazon.com/gp/help/help-page.html/ref=ag_200389230_cont_scsearch?ie=UTF8&itemID=200389230&referral=AFKLMZZOJIK0S_A3O12K6K7LYFF9) * Sollten Sie weitere Fragen zu Handmade haben, kontaktieren Sie uns gerne jederzeit in einem neuen Fall wieder: [https://sellercentral-europe.amazon.com/cu/contact-us?ref_=ag_contactus_shel_xx](https://sellercentral-europe.amazon.com/cu/contact-us?ref_=ag_contactus_shel_xx) * EN: Handmade quotations can be created with the help of a stock file (except for the clothing category) and an interface can also be set up for order reports and should work. * The help pages are also available here: * Upload handmade products using stock file templates: [https://sellercentral-europe.amazon.com/gp/help/help.html?itemID=MU4YRNPVSDUGJZX&language=de_DE&ref=ag_MU4YRNPVSDUGJZX_relt_LULUETJPP24ZZAE&referral=AFKLMZZOJIK0S_A3O12K6K7LYFF9](https://sellercentral-europe.amazon.com/gp/help/help.html?itemID=MU4YRNPVSDUGJZX&language=de_DE&ref=ag_MU4YRNPVSDUGJZX_relt_LULUETJPP24ZZAE&referral=AFKLMZZOJIK0S_A3O12K6K7LYFF9) * Frequently asked questions about uploading the stock file for Handmade: [https://sellercentral-europe.amazon.com/gp/help/help.html?itemID=LULUETJPP24ZZAE&language=de_DE&ref=ag_LULUETJPP24ZZAE_cont_201817280&referral=AFKLMZZOJIK0S_A3O12K6K7LYFF9](https://sellercentral-europe.amazon.com/gp/help/help.html?itemID=LULUETJPP24ZZAE&language=de_DE&ref=ag_LULUETJPP24ZZAE_cont_201817280&referral=AFKLMZZOJIK0S_A3O12K6K7LYFF9) * In this case I would ask you to set up the interface and try it out. * If you have any questions about the interface or if you have any problems with it, please contact the appropriate department directly.

And now take a look at my first post. Especially at the part“ Uploading a stock file perfectly works for handmade products. When I try using the stock file als custom xlsm template file, WP-Lister is telling me: An invalid site_code (amazon) was provided. The file was named amazon.de_handmade.xlsm by me.” * So something goeas wrong but figuring this out needs some more insights in both worlds but especially into WP Lister. That’s where I would need some help. I hope you will get the chance to get your hands on a handmade account or you won’t be able to test it. * Regards Muhackl * Plugin Author [WP Lab](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wp-lab/) * (@wp-lab) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/amazon-handmade/#post-11297482) * That sounds very much as if you tried this on a previous version, before 0.9.20 which introduced a manual marketplace selector, while 0.9.19 tried to guess the marketplace from the filename, which didn’t work reliably – as you noticed. * Besides that there were other issues with the custom feed template upload option, so you should really update to 0.9.21 and give it another try. * If it still doesn’t work, please send us a message at [https://www.wplab.com/request-support/](https://www.wplab.com/request-support/) where you include the template file you’re trying to upload, and a link to this conversation on the forum as a quick reference. * kind regards, Matt * Thread Starter [muhackl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/muhackl/) * (@muhackl) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/amazon-handmade/#post-11321405) * Hi Matt, great stuff! I was able to import a Amazon Handmade template in your plugin I freshly generated in the seller central! * I will now test, if new products will be pushed to the right category. * Thanks a lot!

Click on the “Download an inventory file” link to create your own custom feed templates which you can download your own handmade feed templates and upload to WP-Lister (in the right hand sidebar of the “Categories” setting page of WP-Lister) to use. We have supported uploading custom Amazon feed templates to WP-Lister since version: 0.9.14, but you should make sure you are on at least version 0.9.20 of WP-Lister for Amazon before doing this. * Kind regards, John * [Andres Felipe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/naturalworldstm/) * (@naturalworldstm) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/amazon-handmade/#post-11650394) * Hi John * Thanks for the quick reply. Just 1 question: * Am I able to “use” variations as options with the custom feed template?
