## What Amazon Will and Will Not List

This is the important part, and it makes the Amazon feed different from every other feed FirearmCart produces.

**Amazon prohibits most of what a firearms retailer sells.** Rather than let Amazon reject your feed — or worse, put your seller account at risk — FirearmCart filters restricted products out before the feed is generated. They are never included, regardless of their status or stock.

Excluded automatically:

| Category | Examples |
|----------|----------|
| **Firearms** | Handguns, rifles, shotguns, long guns |
| **Ammunition** | All ammunition, including handgun, rifle, rimfire and shotgun |
| **Magazines** | Handgun and rifle magazines |
| **Reloading components** | Primers, percussion caps, powder, bullets, brass, bullet casting |

What remains — optics, cases, cleaning supplies, apparel, general accessories — is what the feed carries.

Because of this, the Amazon feed is usually much smaller than your other feeds. That is expected, not a misconfiguration.

Two further exclusions are structural rather than an Amazon rule: event-backing products, which are sold through the event registration flow rather than as catalogue items, and any product with no product type set at all — an unclassified product is held back so a mis-typed firearm can never leak into the feed.

## Setting Up

1. Navigate to **Plugins > Marketplace**
2. Find **Amazon** and click **Activate**
3. Click **Configure** and copy the feed URL shown in the modal
4. In Seller Central, use the URL with an **Inventory Loader** upload, or download the file and upload it manually

Your feed is served at `/amazon.txt` on your storefront domain.

## Feed Fields

The tab-separated file carries these twelve columns, in this order:

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `sku` | Your product SKU, or the internal ID when there is no SKU |
| `product-id` | The product's UPC, from its specifications |
| `product-id-type` | Always `3`, Amazon's code for a UPC |
| `price` | Product price |
| `item-condition` | Always `11`, Amazon's code for New |
| `quantity` | Available stock |
| `add-delete` | Always `a` — every row adds or updates a listing. The feed never deletes |
| `will-ship-internationally` | Always `n` |
| `expedited-shipping` | Always `n` |
| `item-note` | Product description, HTML stripped |
| `fulfillment-center-id` | Always `DEFAULT` |
| `product-tax-code` | Always `A_GEN_NOTAX` — override it in Seller Central if your products are taxed |

## Troubleshooting

### A Product Is Missing

Check its product type first. If it falls into any restricted category above, it is excluded deliberately and no setting will include it. A product with no type set at all is excluded too.

Otherwise, confirm the product is active, in stock, not soft-deleted, and carries both a UPC and a brand in its specifications — Amazon needs both to match an existing listing, and a product missing either is skipped.

The plugin's **Configure** modal counts how many products are blocked by type, missing a UPC, and missing a brand, which is the quickest way to see which of these is affecting you.

### Feed Not Updating

Feeds are cached for 5 minutes. Wait for the cache to expire, then re-check the conditions above.

### Feed URL Not Available

Ensure the Amazon plugin is still active — the URL 404s when it is not — and that you have an active domain configured in **Settings > Domains**.
