 * Hi,
    I saw that the feed also contains all empty attributes. is it possible not
   to add them in the feed? some values ​​I have to add directly on Amazon and should
   not be deleted in the next step. If I set them as empty they are still inserted.
 * Thanks
    Marco

 * Hi Marco.
 * Thanks for reaching out today.
 * If they are required fields then you must provide values for them or else the
   entire feed will fail which will stop WP-Lister from being able to update the
   listings on Amazon.
 * If they are not required fields, you could download your own feed custom feed
   templates from Amazon which allows you to edit them how you please. You can download
   entire feed templates or just the basic fields when creating a feed on Amazon
   that can then be uploaded to WP-Lister.
 * To do this, you can click the “Add products via upload” menu option in the “inventory”
   section of your Amazon account in the top menu then go through step 1 and 2 and
   then click “Generate template” button to create your own custom feed templates
   which you can download and upload to WP-Lister (in the right hand sidebar of 
   the “Categories” setting page of WP-Lister) to use. Then browse to the listing
   profile and select the new feed template you uploaded in the “Feed template” 
   drop down selector.
 * Keep in mind, when creating the custom feed template you need to only select 
   1 marketplace during the feed template creation, WP-Lister does not support using
   multi marketplace feed templates (but you can list to multiple marketplaces with
   WP-Lister, just not with multi marketplace feed templates).
 * Then once you have downloaded the feed template you generated you could modify
   it even further by adding or removing fields before uploading it to WP-Lister.
 * You can open up the XLSM file from Amazon that you download and navigate to the
   template sheet then add a new column like from the image below:

 * In order to change the Amazon template file, you first have to “Un-protect the
   sheet” in your spreadsheet application.
 * Kind regards,
    John

 * Hi,
    I’m sorry but this method doesn’t work! bullet poings are overwritten even
   if they are not in the feed and the keywords are not entered on Amazon.
 * What else can Platinium Keywords be used for?
 * Lastly, the country of origin is not entered in the parent product.
 * Can you help me?
    we are unable to use the plugin in these sections. Does the
   paid version solve?
 * Thanks
    Marco

 * Hi [@marcoburlando](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcoburlando/)
 * Did you add bullet points in the edit product page? Those would be added to Amazon
   when listing with WP-Lister because the edit product page will always over ride
   the listing profile: [https://docs.wplab.com/article/112-listing-profile-vs-edit-product-page](https://docs.wplab.com/article/112-listing-profile-vs-edit-product-page)
 * As far as I am aware the platinum keywords can only be used for platinum sellers.
   If you are not a platinum seller, you cannot use those fields.
 * As for the missing “country of origin” field:
 * We don’t have any control over this.
 * Amazon controls what fields exist in feed templates and what fields are required.
 * This means you need to provide a value for the “country of origin” field.
 * Unfortunately Amazon is always adding new required fields to their feed templates
   which requires users to update their feed templates from time to time.
 * You can click the “Add products via upload” menu option in the “inventory” section
   of your Amazon account in the top menu then go through step 1 and 2 and then 
   click “Generate template” button to create your own custom feed templates which
   you can download and upload to WP-Lister (in the right hand sidebar of the “Categories”
   setting page of WP-Lister) to use. Then browse to the listing profile and select
   the new feed template you uploaded in the “Feed template” drop down selector.
   You then will be able to provide a value for the “country of origin” field.
 * We have supported uploading custom Amazon feed templates to WP-Lister since version:
   0.9.14.
 * No, these cases have nothing to do with pro vs lite.
 * Kind regards,
    John
