Setting up an Amazon store involves several steps, including account verification, product identifier requirements, category approvals, product data mapping, and listing validation.
ExportYourStore provides the platform and tools to help you connect your store, prepare product information, configure feeds, and submit products to Amazon.
If you need assistance with the initial configuration, our team also offers a separate one-time setup service. This service is not automatically included with your regular ExportYourStore subscription.
How Are My Products Listed on Amazon?
There are two common ways to create product listings on Amazon:
1. Using a GTIN Exemption (No Barcode Required)
A GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) exemption may allow eligible products to be listed without UPC, EAN, or ISBN codes.
Our team can assist you with:
Checking the applicable GTIN exemption requirements.
Preparing and submitting the exemption application.
Guiding you through the process for your brand or eligible Generic products.
Important: GTIN exemption approval is entirely at Amazon's discretion. ExportYourStore can assist with the application process but cannot guarantee approval. Amazon may request additional information or reject an application.
2. Using Existing Barcodes (UPC / EAN / ISBN)
If your products already have valid product identifiers, these can be used to create or match listings on Amazon, depending on the product and category requirements.
Our team can assist with:
Reviewing your available barcode information.
Configuring and mapping product identifiers in your feed.
Preparing your products for submission to Amazon.
The identifiers must be valid and meet Amazon's requirements.
What Does the One-Time Setup Service Include?
If you prefer our team to handle the initial technical configuration, you can opt for our separate one-time setup service.
Depending on your requirements, our team can assist with:
Creating and configuring product feeds.
Mapping your product data to Amazon-required attributes.
Preparing products for listing.
Assisting with GTIN exemption applications, where applicable.
Helping with brand and category-related requirements.
Troubleshooting product submission errors.
Communicating with Amazon when necessary.
The exact scope of the setup service will depend on your catalog, product requirements, and the work agreed upon.
Please note: The one-time setup service is separate from your ExportYourStore subscription. A regular subscription provides access to the platform but does not automatically include our team handling the complete setup process.
Does ExportYourStore Guarantee Amazon Approvals?
No. All seller account verifications, GTIN exemption applications, brand approvals, category approvals, and product listing decisions are reviewed and controlled by Amazon.
ExportYourStore can help you understand the requirements, prepare the necessary information, submit applications where applicable, and troubleshoot issues. However, we cannot guarantee that Amazon will approve an application or accept every product listing.
Approval timelines and outcomes depend entirely on Amazon.
What Should I Expect During the Setup Process?
New Amazon seller accounts may require verification and activation before products can be listed.
Certain brands, categories, and products may require additional approvals.
GTIN exemption applications may require supporting information or documentation.
Product listings are subject to Amazon's validation and processing.
Additional product information may be required before listings can be successfully created.
Important Notes
Your Amazon seller account must be active and eligible before products can be listed.
GTIN exemption and other marketplace approvals are controlled by Amazon.
Accurate and complete product information helps reduce listing errors.
ExportYourStore subscription access does not automatically include one-time setup or ongoing account management services.
