How to Update or Edit or Change Product Data of existing item through Feed File on amazon seller central (Bulk System)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After uploading products especially via bulk upload, it become usual task to make frequent change, edit or update data like listing information Title, Bullet Point, description, price, quantity, shipping information etc, which are already listed on amazon seller central. We can do it either from Amazon dashboard or through flat file template of Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bulk Operation: <\/strong>When we have bunch of product like 5000 product that needs to change or edit then it is not good idea to edit the item info one by one, In that case, we can use the flat file to do bulk operation or in some case we can do the bulk operation from Manage Inventory page, But from manage inventory page don’t have the access to edit all the info, we can change only a few information from dashboard like\u00a0 price, quantity,\u00a0so flat file is the best option to do it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flat Feed File: <\/strong>When we want to do any bulk operation in Amazon using flat file there is two option to update or edit the information one is \u2018Update\u2019 another is \u2018partial Update\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update:<\/strong> When we have all the information in our feed file, in that case, we can use the normal Update option. Important things are Feed file need to have all the information If we miss anything in the file that means any black cell overwrite the existing data of Amazon listing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Partial update:<\/strong> When we want to partially update the information by putting only the edited value in the flat file like we want to update title only in that case we need to put the new title in the flat file template of Amazon and mark it as Partial Update and upload the file to Amazon, Title will update. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: Here we do not need to mention any all the information in the flat file. When we put Partial update on flat file every blank value will be ignored by Amazon, consider only those field which contains any value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
