How to set up WP-Lister for Amazon

Step 1: Connect your Amazon seller account

After you have uploaded WP-Lister to your website and activated the plugin, visit Amazon » Settings » Accounts and follow the following steps to connect your WP-Lister to your Amazon account:

  • Enter a short title as reference, for example "Amazon US".
  • Select the Amazon marketplace you'd like to sell in, for example "United States".
  • Click on Sign in with Amazon and sign into your account as the primary user.
  • Go to the Manage your apps page in Seller Central and click Authorize new developer.
  • Enter the name WP-Lister and the Developer ID that you'll find displayed in the instructions.
  • Follow the authorization workflow until you see your seller account identifiers on the final page.
  • Copy your Seller ID and MWS Auth Token in the fields below the instructions.
  • Click Add new account to add the new account to WP-Lister.

As you can see on the screenshot below, you'll find the same instructions when adding an account in WP-Lister itself - including the actual Developer ID for you to authorize:

After you click  Authorize new developer, you will be prompted to enter the Developer name and ID:

Once you click Next, you'll have to confirm that you want to connect WP-Lister with your account:

Confirm the above and you'll see the final page where you can find your Seller ID and MWS Auth Token:

Note: The ID and Token above are made up. Of course you should keep your Auth Token private and not share it with anyone!
