Zen Cart to Amazon

**Nick1973** · 2 May 2019, 04:11 PM

I am looking for a good Zen Cart to Amazon module or integration. Can anybody recommend anything? I am aware there are some in google as well but I don't know which one's are the best.

Those services are usually pretty expensive. How many products do you have and how much are you looking to spend to get them integrated?

I think there are around 500 in total

Are you looking for yourself or a client? Are you looking just to get the products up on Amazon or to also have them automatically sync with another database? Are the items branded (need UPC's or such) or self branded (no UPC's exist)? Is the inventory kept outside of Zen Cart (Access or Excel document) or within?

I populated my own template and uploaded myself. I also update as needed updates to the price and quantity..... if you have someone else do this you will probably have to pay 1st for integration and then monthly for syncing.... not sure they have any Zen Cart syncing modules made.... but it isn't that hard to send an update over as needed as long as your not selling out of things really fast.

We currently have two options that could be adapted for your needs:

1 - Direct integration through Zen Cart Admin - Amazon

2 - Raw database integration using VB in MS Excel

Option 1 is a bit more complex to start but could be modified for your needs short and long term and would include automation scripts. Here the computers do most of the work and if you want it hands off they can also run the data synchronization.

Option 2 is bare bones. Input the data as a spreadsheet, make any changes you want, click go and the updated .csv file is ready to export. This option is hands on, you will be moving files to and fro, managing the synchronization and so on.

Do understand that there is a reason folks charge money to keep these types of systems running... if one system changes the other has to follow suit.
