To make it easier for customers to find your listed products on the Amazon.co.jp website, you need to associate the proper browse nodes and refinements with them.
Below are explanations of two methods for updating your products with proper browse nodes and refinements.
See Browse Nodes and Refinements for details.
See Seller Information Improvement — Success Stories for stories about how sellers improved their product registration and listing information, including browse nodes, in order to achieve success.
(These are actual examples of sellers whose orders, access numbers and sales increased dramatically as a result of making these improvements.)
Click Edit Details from Change on the product for which you wish to update the browse node and refinement under Manage Inventory in the Inventory section.
(1) When the Edit screen for Product Information is displayed, click Important Information.
(2) Click the Edit button for the desired browse node.
(3) On the category edit screen, select the terminal browse node that is most relevant to the product and click Select.
Set the refinements according to the browse node.
The refinements that should be set vary by browse node.
The browse nodes and refinements that can be used in each category can be found in the Browse Tree Guide.
The Inventory Report will be downloaded as a text file, so paste it into Microsoft Excel to check the data.
Next, using the Product Search Sheet, get the "brand name", "manufacturer name" and any other information for the products to be updated. Click here to download the Product Search Sheet.
If you have the listing file used for product registration, this step is unnecessary.
Download the Inventory file required for updating product information.
(1) Click Inventory > Add Products via Upload
(2) Click Download Template
(3) A "File Template" page will open in another window. Download the template from the Inventory File (Without Macro) for the category to which the product to be updated with the "Inventory File Template" belongs.
Enter the necessary information into the template referring to the "data definition" and "sample" sheets in the Inventory file.
When making batch updates to browse nodes and refinements, enter the three items below.
(1) Required attributes (product management number/SKU, product title, brand name, etc.)
(2) Information to be modified (browse nodes, refinements)
(3) Update/Delete (Partial Update)
(1) Required attributes (product management number, product title, brand name, etc.)
Enter all required attributes (product management number, product code, product name, brand name, etc.). Check which attributes are required in the "data definition" sheet.
(2) Information to be modified (browse nodes, refinements)
Enter the most relevant browse node ID for the product in "Desired browse node" and set the refinements according to the browse node.
(3) Update/Delete (Partial Update)
Enter Partial Update in "Update/Delete" at the end.
Name the completed Inventory file and save it. When saving the file, save it in text (tab delimited)(*.txt) format.
(1) Click Inventory > Add Products via Upload
(2) Select By Category Inventory File from Select type of file to upload
(3) Click Select file and select the saved text file.
(4) Click on Upload Now.
The process is complete once the "Inventory file received" message is displayed.
Success: It is posted to the number of valid records, and the number of records with errors is shown as "0".
Error: The number of records with errors is shown as "1" or more => Check the cause of the error in the processing report.
