Configuring NetSuite Connector for ASIN Integration with Amazon

When posting products on Amazon, using the Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN) is crucial for efficient product identification and listing management. Properly configuring this integration allows for smoother product syncing between NetSuite and Amazon, minimizing data discrepancies.

Before you proceed, ensure that you have created a custom field in your NetSuite products to store the ASINs. If not already created, the ASIN field is automatically created upon installing the NetSuite Connector SuiteApp. Populate this custom field with the ASIN values for each product. In the absence of any specific Amazon product mappings, default mappings for the ASIN and Universal Product Codes (UPC) fields are generated upon installation.

How to Configure NetSuite Connector to Utilize the ASIN Field

Follow these steps to set up your NetSuite Connector for ASIN usage:

1. Log in to app.farapp.com.
2. Select the Amazon connector and choose the appropriate account.
3. Navigate to Mappings > Products. This will open the Product Mappings page.
4. From the Category dropdown, select Amazon.
5. Find the standard-product-id mapping field and click Special Mapping - Click to Edit adjacent to this field.
6. In the ASIN Field (Default) input box, enter the field ID where you store the ASIN.
7. In the UPC Field (Default) input, enter the field ID for the UPC.
   • Note: If you leave the ASIN Field (Default) empty, the NetSuite Connector will default to the UPC Field data.
8. Click Save Changes to apply your settings.
