Advanced settings


To generate Amazon product feeds, you can use only Basic settings. Advanced settings are optional and are used for a more targeted search.



Location - choose a local Amazon store for a localized search.

Note: you have to be registered with a local Amazon program to be able to generate product feeds for a local store.

Department - it is a list of root Amazon departments. Only one department can be chosen at a time. By specifying one department you avoid items from all the other departments. Use All Departments to search the entire Amazon marketplace. The list of departments may differ by the local marketplace.

Price range - limit search results by a minimum and maximum product price. Enter only integers.

Sold by Amazon only - search only for products sold by Amazon (Amazon as a merchant).

Condition - search for products with a specific condition.

Note: the "condition" filter may return 0 results if there are no such products.

Delivery program - this parameter filters items that satisfy certain delivery terms. For example, Prime will return products having at least one offer which is Prime Eligible. Note: search requests with a particular delivery program may result in 0 items if any of the specified Delivery Programs is not supported in the target Amazon marketplace.

  • Amazon Global - delivery program featuring international shipping to certain Exportable Countries.
  • Free Shipping - delivery program featuring free shipping of an item.
  • Fulfilled By Amazon - indicates that products are stored, packed, and dispatched by Amazon.
  • Prime - products are eligible for Prime Program.

Sort Amazon listings by - sorting search results to show them in a particular order in the feed:

  • Best match - show the most relevant products with a higher rank.
  • Featured - show featured products with a higher rank.
  • Price: low to high - start with products with the lowest price.
  • Price: high to low - start with the most expensive products.
  • Avg. customer reviews - sorts results according to average customer reviews.
  • Newest arrivals - start with the newest arrivals.

"Order" button CSS - here you can edit CSS to change the look & feel of item's order button to match your website's design. Alternatively, you can remove this CSS completely and use custom CSS classes in the feed to style the button in your website's CSS: .btn-buy {...}
