Unleashed Amazon Integration by SKUPlugs

1. Unleashed Amazon Integration by SKUPlugs Selling on Amazon while running inventory in Unleashed can feel like juggling plates — listings, stock levels, pricing, and orders all moving at once. SKUPlugs’ Unleashed Amazon integration is built to make that juggling act smooth and reliable. This article explains what the integration does, why it helps ecommerce and wholesale businesses, how it works, and practical tips so you get the best results. What the integration does in plain words SKUPlugs connects your Unleashed inventory system to your Amazon seller account so both systems share the same, accurate information in real time (or near real time). Key things it synchronizes: •Product catalog and SKUs-creating or updating listings •Inventory levels across warehouses •Pricing and mapped price rules

2. •Amazon Orders (pushed into or exported from Unleashed) •Shipping and fulfillment status updates •Returns and Cancellations The objective: avoid over-selling, reduce manual data entry, and maintain efficient operations despite an increase in sales. Who benefits most •Small-to-medium-sized brands selling on Amazon, among other channels. •Wholesalers and distributors requiring the accuracy of multi-channel stock control. •Retailers using Unleashed for cost tracking, batch/serial control, or multiple warehouses. •This will cater to sellers who are expanding into FBA and FBM models and require consistent inventory numbers. Main benefits 1.Precise stock level: Inventory movements within Unleashed for sales, purchases, and transfers automatically update Amazon to prevent you from overselling. 2.Faster order processing: Orders from Amazon appear within Unleashed, which greatly speeds up picking, packing, and accounting.

3. 3.Single source of truth — Costing, product variations, and warehouse locations remain in Unleashed while Amazon is a sales channel only. 4.Reduced manual work: Bulk updates, mapping rules, and automated flows reduce repetitive tasks. 5.Improved reporting and margins: Unleashed provides real capture of inventory costs and margins across Amazon sales for improved financial insight. How it works: the integration process in detail 1.Connect accounts You provide SKUPlugs with API credentials from Unleashed and Amazon (Seller Central). The integration authenticates and establishes a secure connection. 2.Map products and SKUs Mapping of Unleashed SKUs to Amazon ASINs/SKUs. The SKU mapping is done automatically by SKU code, with the option of manually setting exceptions and bundles. 3.Configure sync rules Decide what syncs and when: inventory-only, inventory + prices, full product push, order import frequency, etc. Set thresholds and buffer levels if you want to prevent stock-outs. 4.Synchronizing initial data

4. With a one-time sync, it imports product data, stock levels, and open Amazon orders. That's when you validate mapping and correct mismatches. 5.Live operation After setup, updates will flow according to the set interval. Example: Unleashed → Amazon inventory update after every sale or per an hourly interval; Amazon → Unleashed import orders instantly or in short batches. 6.Monitoring and Logs SKUPlugs allows visibility into dashboards, error logs, and alerts to help you identify where mismatches occur or uploads fail. Key features to watch for •Two-way sync: Inventory and orders go both ways. •Multi-warehouse support: Map Amazon listings to specific Unleashed warehouses or a consolidated stock level. •Rule-based pricing: Apply Markups / Discounts for Amazon channel on autopilot. •Bundle and kit handling: While you can sell assemblies via Amazon, the component stock remains in Unleashed. •FBA support: Mark items allocated to FBA so Unleashed reflects only the sellable stock you control.

5. •Order routing: Determine whether Amazon orders are fulfilled in one warehouse location or routed based on location. •Robust logging: allows detailed error messages to reconcile mismatches or refused listings. •Rate Limiting and Retry Logic: Handles API throttling with much aplomb. Practical setup tips •Standardize SKUs first: The cleaner your SKU naming convention is in Unleashed, the smoother the automatic mapping will go. •Audit product data: to make sure that titles, bar codes (EAN/UPC), and descriptions match Amazon's requirements. •Start with inventory-only sync: Validate stock flows before pushing prices or full product updates. •Use buffer quantities: Prevent oversell by keeping a small safety stock in Unleashed that isn't exposed to Amazon. •Subset test: Test your integration on a handful of your SKUs to make sure everything was set up properly before turning on all products. •Document your rules: Keep a brief runbook that describes mapping rules, pricing rules, who to call on errors. Problems encountered and how to avoid/resolve them

6. •Mismatch of SKUs between Unleashed and Amazon •Reconcile SKUs through the mapping tool of the integration and match Unleashed SKU codes against Amazon Seller SKUs or ASINs. •Inventory is not updating because API has limitation. •Solution: Enable batching updates or sync intervals. Ensure retry logic is enabled; review usage against Amazon API quotas. •Wrong warehouse used to fulfill an order •Set up per-listing warehouse preferences or set routing rules by shipping address. •Price updates refused by Amazon •Confirm that price falls within Amazon's allowed ranges and currency settings match. Check for suppressed listings. •FBA stock discrepancies •Use Amazon inventory reports to reconcile FBA quantities and mark FBA stock separately in Unleashed. Security and compliance SKUPlugs uses secure API connections and follows all the best practices for credential storage and data transfer. Only grant the permissions needed at onboarding into both Seller Central and Unleashed. Rotate API keys regularly and update user access controls within your teams.

Measuring success Track the following KPIs post-integration: •Reduction of manual data-entry hours •Oversell or stock discrepancies reduced •Faster order processing lead times •Improved margin visibility on Amazon sales •Number of listing errors reduced after the initial sync When to contact support or upgrade •If you are selling seasonal or high-volume SKUs, consider higher frequency sync or enterprise-grade plans •if you're experiencing throttling. If you use complex product types (serialized stock, lot/batch tracking, or large assemblies), involve SKUPlugs’ onboarding team to map logic correctly. •If you are on multiple Amazon marketplaces, such as the US, UK, EU, make sure to confirm multi-region support and how it handles currencies during setup.
