	Setting up a new service for Amazon using the Online Service Wizard.
	Click the Online button at the top of your screen:
	Click the New Service button at the bottom left of your screen:
	The Online Service Wizard form will appear. You want to click the dropdown  button on the upper right for the new service:

	Left Click once. You should get:
	This method applies for whatever Amazon selection you choose to use, or  even if you setup multiple Amazon accounts.
	Amazon uses a fixed URL that cannot be changed by the user, thus the field  for this, which is visible for the other services, disappears when Amazon is  selected. Click the Next button, lower right corner:
	You MUST use your email address and password combination you use to  login to your Amazon Account pages. You type the email address into the  top field and your password into the bottom field, exactly as you do to  login to Amazon. Click Finish when you are done. Amazon is NOT an FTP service like the other sites, thus you cannot test the setup.  If you see the Test button then click the <<Back button, reselect Amazon from  the dropdown list, click Next, fill in your Amazon Email and Password, and click  Finish.  After you click the Finish button you will see Amazon appear in the  Online Services table below:
	To set Amazon as an Active service, place your cursor over the check box in the  Active column, and left click once to activate the service.
	AMAZON MWS REGISTRATION: IMPORTANT! After setting up your Amazon service (s) for upload you close BookTrakker and register each Amazon service with Amazon MWS: Double click the App Manager icon on your desktop to open it. It will load in the lower right corner of your taskbar, with a message asking you to click it to open. Do so. App Manager opens. At the lower left is the Amazon MWS Seller Account Registration button. To the right is another button leading to online help for this if necessary. Click the Amazon MWS Seller Account Registration button. The AmazonMWS form appears. The selection defaults to Amazon US, if this is where you list click the Register with Amazon button at the bottom. Otherwise select a different Amazon and click the Register with Amazon button. (If you sell on multiple Amazon sites you have to do this for each service.) The Sign in page opens up, fill in your Amazon email and password and click the Sign In button. The Amazon license page will open. Both check boxes on the left side need to be checked to go onto the next step. Reading the license/page is optional. Check the boxes, click Next. A new page opens explaining that BookTrakker can now access Amazon. A success message pops up confirming this. Click the OK on the message, close the page and close the AmazonMWS form. (If you have more than one Amazon service then select it and click the Register with Amazon button at the bottom and repeat the registration.)
	Amazon File Formats (Templates)
	During ordinary operation BookTrakker uploads to Amazon using two upload formats found in the C:\BTPro\Transfer folder: Inventory Loader: For all product lines, a tab-delimited file type for loading inventory to match to existing product pages in the Amazon.com catalog.  AmazonUpload_1.txt is the name of the Inventory Loader file. CA or UK added to the name for Amazon.ca or Amazon.co.uk. If you have an ASIN or ISBN then BookTrakker uploads that plus the Condition set on the Amazon tab, subject if selected, your shipping choices, your Rec# (SKU) and whatever you set for the Comments on Amazon via Amazon Field Mapping. (see below) CAVEAT: Your upload record MUST match the product detail page for the ASIN or ISBN you are using. Amazon buyers are NOT required to read Seller's Comments, so if you list something that is different from the product detail page you may have to accept a return and issue a refund, and possibly suffer bad feedback as well. To avoid this happening to you search Amazon for the correct ASIN or ISBN, then use that in BookTrakker in the ASIN or ISBN field during New Record data entry.  Standard Book Loader: For booksellers who want to create product detail pages in bulk or who don't have ISBNs in their inventory records and want to take advantage of Amazon's automatic title matching feature. The Standard Book Loader File also allows sellers to upload special listing attributes and offer-specific images for Collectible books. Book Loader instructions for BookTrakker.  AmazonUploadBL_1.txt is the name of the Book Loader file. CA or UK added to the name for Amazon.ca or Amazon.co.uk. No ASIN or ISBN uploads the same data as above plus Author, Title, Publisher, Cover and Date. Edition and Illustrator are optional. See Book Loader instructions.  BookTrakker can also upload in Book Loader format a record that has an ISBN not found on Amazon to create a new product detail page the that ISBN. See Book Loader instructions.  In normal operation BookTrakker will upload to Amazon first using Inventory Loader for ASIN or ISBN records, followed by Book Loader when and ASIN or ISBN is not present. There is a third file that is only used when GrabIt is used for repricing Amazon records: Price & Quantity: A file that can be used to modify the price or quantity of existing inventory quickly by supplying only SKU, price and/or quantity fields. The Price & Quantity file is not for creating new listings.
	Amazon Field Mapping
	Next, you need to set up the Export Field Mapping for Marketplace. Default  Mapping is supplied with 3.4/3.5. Click the Inventory button at the top of your  screen:
	Click on File at the upper left, then Export, followed by Amazon Field Mapping:
	To get this:
	This dialog box allows the user to set up Field Mapping to map various Inventory  Fields into the Amazon Item Note Field (Seller's Comments) in the Amazon  upload file, AmazonUpload_1.txt. (AmazonUploadCA_1.txt for Canada and AmazonUploadUK_1.txt for the UK) If you use the Item-Note field on the Amazon tab for this purpose then BookTrakker  ignores the Amazon field Mapping and gets the Item-Note content  (Seller's Comments) for the upload file from the Item-Note field on the Amazon tab.  Most users who have imported from either an Amazon Open Listings Report or Seller  Engine will start out using the default Item-Note field on the Amazon tab, you only  need the Amazon Field Mapping if you use the other fields in BookTrakker, and do  not update the Item-Note field on the Amazon tab for new listings. This is NOT  automatic on manual data entry. A variety of fields may be mapped for concatenation into the Amazon Item-Note field  in the Amazon upload file by clicking on the dropdown arrow at the right of the column  in the grid. To delete a field from the mapping simply click on the gray square on the left of the  row to be deleted and press the 'Delete' key on the keyboard. The Field Separator provides a Text Box to indicate what character should be inserted between fields. IMPORTANT: Book/DJ must be present if you want either one, Book followed by DJ. (Book/DJ are stored  in the main inventory table as numbers) If Book = VG and DJ = G then they will display in comments on  Amazon as Very Good in Good dust jacket. If only one of the term is present in Amazon mapping then  only the number in the inventory table is displayed. So if DJ = none than -1 is what the buyer sees.
	To set your Field Order for Marketplace listings do the following:
	Select the first field you want to add into the Item-Note field in the upload file,  followed by the next, and the next, and so on. An example of a finished field  mapping is:
	NOTE: Amazon increased the Comments to 1000 characters, which for most users  probably means you can use any or all of the larger description fields, as well as  additional fields. A suggested order might be: Place, Publisher, Date, Edition,  Printing, Size, Cover, Type, Book, DJ, Defects, Features. As long as the combination  does not exceed 1000 characters then all of the information will be included in  Comments on Marketplace.  The purpose of Amazon Field Mapping for Marketplace is to provide the buyer with a description of the book you are listing. So you want to restrict what you put in here to descriptive fields ONLY. You do not need Author, Title, Subtitle, Status, ISBN or Price. Amazon supplies the first five, and Price is uploaded separately. If you want to use Item-Note instead, you can. You want to confine your selection to  that which will fit into 1000 characters and include what you consider most important  from the viewpoint of a potential buyer. Condition should be included, but NOT from the Amazon Condition field on the Amazon tab, this is uploaded separately by BookTrakker. Amazon will clip off from the end of this field any characters exceeding their 1000  character limit for Marketplace. You have to decide what field is least important to  you and make that the last field. Keep in mind that you are limited to 1000  characters; so do not add in all of the available fields, since most will not be utilized  by Amazon.
	Amazon Defaults in Options
	Click on Tools > Options:
	To bring up the Options form:
	Options are where you set many of the defaults for operations in BookTrakker.  Click on the Pricing tab at the top to bring up the Pricing tab, then look in the  middle of the form for the Amazon Price field dropdown lists. There are three  choices, one each for each Amazon service. Click the dropdown button to select  which price field to upload to each Amazon service. (If you only upload to one  then select for that one only. If you upload to more than one then you can  select a different price field for the second or third choice, which allows you to  use a different price because of currency differences or postage remuneration.  We set the Retail field for default, since most users will use the Retail price for  Amazon listings, either by design or because this is the field used when  importing from an Open Listings Report or Seller Engine.
	Click the OK at the bottom, click Yes to close BookTrakker. Restart BookTrakker.
	Uploading Your Book Records to Amazon
	What should happen with a successful upload to Amazon and/or other services:
	1. Click Online button 2. Click Process and Upload Records button. 3. Loading Amazon Upload Engine box appears. 4. Exporting Amazon Records box appears, Amazon Upload file(s) are created. 5. Uploading to Amazon box appears, upload goes through. 6. Export form appears, yellow bar moves across bottom of form. 7. Process ends, unless you have other active services, in which case: 8. BookTrakker connects to each service, uploads the file for that service,  verifies success, and moves on to the next service. 9. When the upload is done BookTrakker takes you the the Export Log screen so you can check the success of your uploads.
	1. Click on the Online button at the top of your screen:
	2. Over on the right, center, you will see a large, turquoise green button:
	Below this button is a list  of Upload Options followed by check boxes. For your  first upload using the OneClick upload system you should place a check in  the top option, All Online Inventory, then click the Process and Upload Records  button. (This presumes that you have your Amazon services set up and checked  as Active in the table below and to the left) You may want to also check the Purge/Replace Amazon check box, as your records  out of BookTrakker may have different record numbers then what you have on  Amazon, and may also be in a different format. Both of these choices are done just once, in the future you need on click the  Process and Upload Records button without checking any of the boxes, BookTrakker  will "know" which records to upload.
	3. After you click the Process and Upload Records button the Loading Amazon  Upload Engine file box will appear, followed by another box indicating that  BookTrakker is exporting your records to the Amazon upload file:
	4. Followed by:
	This usually takes a lot less time than creating the upload file; there is less work  to do. But sometimes it seems like it is going to take forever, especially if you  already did an upload and want to follow with another. Uploading directly to Amazon  using HTTP has limitations: 1. Bandwidth - sometimes a lot of booksellers are all uploading at the same time,  so your upload may not get through. 2. Repeating or doing another upload on the heels of the first upload - Amazon  does not seem to like this. 3. Internet errors between BookTrakker and Amazon. With experience gained through uploading to Amazon you will get a pretty clear  idea of how long any given upload should take, and if it seems like it isn't working,  then it probably isn't. If you think the upload is not going to go through then click the Cancel Upload button:
	Like so:
	And the upload process to Amazon will be aborted. It probably would not have worked anyway, this saves you time waiting and waiting. You will have to test this by trial and  error, all systems are different, and uploads depend not only on what processor and  memory you have but connection speed as well.
	5. After you either allow an upload to finish or you cancel, the Exporting Records form appears:
	This is the actual process that clears out your database of records to be uploaded during  this upload session. The Amazon file has already been created. After this form goes away BookTrakker will proceed to upload to any other services you list on, one after the other, until you get a completion message in the middle window on the Online page:
	If your upload was successful you can verify this by clicking on the Export Log tab along the left side of your screen:
	The first line says you started the Amazon upload process, followed by confirmation of the Amazon upload. Then BookTrakker began the upload process for other services you might be listing on, in this case ABE. Placing your cursor over the message across from Amazon Upload Processed and waiting a few seconds brings up a tool tip explaining what was in the Amazon upload file(s). In the example the first file that went to Amazon was the Inventory Loader, being ASIN/ISBN records without bibliographical information. The second file was the Book Loader file, with or without ASIN's or ISBN's, but including full bibliographical data for matching or new product detail page creation. (You must have CheckIt installed for the second upload file to work.)
	Amazon Upload Failure
	If the Amazon upload failed then select the Amazon service: Then click the  Reupload File to Selected Service button above. The Loading Amazon Upload Engine will reappear, followed by Uploading to Amazon. Keep in mind that under normal upload circumstances there may be two upload files: AmazonUpload_1.txt and AmazonUploadBL_1.txt. (Add CA or UK to the name for CA or UK files) You need to upload both. After doing the first file you can click in the field where is says AmazonUpload_1.txt, click the dropdown button to the right, then select AmazonUploadBL_1.txt and Reupload that file as well.
	Verifying Your Amazon Upload Results
	If your upload to Amazon through BookTrakker was successful, then you need to connect to your Amazon account to confirm your upload success, or click on the Browser button in BookTrakker:
	Then click on the a to bring up the Amazon upload page, after you login. This may take a few moments, but once you do get to the Amazon Upload Results page you click View Processing Report for more information about your upload.
	To find out what the Amazon Error messages mean, please go here.
	Amazon Purge/Replace using BookTrakker.
	Check Purge Amazon and All Online Inventory on the Online page in BookTrakker, select Amazon in your list of services, then click Process/Upload to Selected Service. This is the brute force Purge/Replace method, it rarely works well.  If you are going to do a Purge/Replace on Amazon then you should make sure ALL records have an ASIN or ISBN, otherwise you run the risk of creating new records on Amazon that do not match what you have in BookTrakker.  This is for Pro or Network users only: Run CheckIt to download and process ASIN's and ISBN's into BookTrakker.  Since the usual Purge/Replace often fails on Amazon you may need to do it by doing the Purge followed by Replace with one listing that is already on Amazon. Once you  are down to one listing you can then upload your Available Amazon inventory by checking All Online Inventory and do a second upload. Do your usual upload to all services, to clear the database of records set for upload, then go back to Inventory, find a record that is Available and has an ASIN or ISBN on the Keywords tab and the Marketplace box is checked or one of the CA or UK shipping choices is selected, other than No CA or No UK. (Amazon.ca or Amazon.co.uk sellers only) Make sure the same record with the same SKU is in your Amazon inventory account online. If it is go back to BookTrakker: Press A on your keyboard, followed by Enter if your Rec# is numeric, or CTRL-A, followed Enter if your Rec# is alphanumeric. This sets that record for upload. Then do the following: 1. Set Amazon as an Active service (Should be checked at all times by default)  2. Select Amazon by clicking on the service name in the list, so the black arrow is pointing to Amazon > .   3. Place a check in Purge Amazon.    4. Click the Process/Upload to Selected Service button:    5. Loading Amazon Engine box appears, followed by Exporting to Amazon,  then Uploading to Amazon. May happen so fast you don't see it all.  6. Export form appears, yellow bar moves across bottom of form.  7. Export Log screen appears, so you can check the success of your upload.  Check your Inventory account on Amazon to make sure all but one record is   present.  8. Go back to Online Control Panel page, check All Online Inventory, then   with Amazon  selected, click the Process/Upload to Selected Service button.   This will add back all records that are set for Amazon Marketplace listing in   Inventory, that are also Available.
