Website software suggestions
I am starting to look at building a website. Has anyone got any suggestions? Ideally I would like one that will pull my listing information from Amazon or my listing software.
Thanks

As far as I am aware, unless you are a brand owner, it is simply not possible to pull that kind of information from Amazon. Even then, you have to request Amazon to provide you with a file I believe.
But as for the website itself, Shopify seems to be pretty good. But there are loads out there, so you need to look at what you need and the cost you are prepared to pay.
Otherwise, they are all pretty much of a muchness. Unless going for a made to order site of course.

There may be some third party software on the market that allows you to list in multiple places ie here the other place, the other place that begins with e and ends in y and your own site providing you are using one of the well known brands shopify woocommerce etc but its something you would have to look into before ommiting to building the website.
Getting the exposure to your website is the biggest pain nothing is gonna come close to what amazon,e,e etc provide you with
Really worth looking into how much you think you will save vs how much it will cost (not just the basic site but seo and advertising) vs what your paying as fees on here.
As a third point its not easy to drive customers from one of the biggies to your site as even with money off and cheaper prices they prefer the amazon/E security.

The last time I looked you can pull your Amazon info into Wix.
Good luck

I’m not aware of anything that will do it as a one shot to build a website catalogue for you.
We use M2EPro which will create a Magento product if one does not exist when you make a sale on Amazon but I’ve never tried sucking in a listing from Amazon to Magento.
There are a number of products and extensions that will allow you to do a bulk upload/import of products into Magento however. It is possible that you could do something with dumping your inventory data from Amazon, tweaking it and then importing into Magento/another website engine. I cannot see it being anything less than a lot of work though. Maybe not too much of an issue once you have your field mapping done. Image import and assignment is probably the biggest PITA.
M2EPro certainly has the capability ongoing to create listings on Amazon and eBay from a Magento listing so ongoing maintenance is less of an issue.
Don’t know of anything else I’m afraid.

Quite simple.
Join EKM

After 24hrs pull your eBay listing straight onto your EKM website.
Works for me

We use EKM and as said above its easy to pull listings from ebay. There is a choice of EKM, woo, Big, wix, shopify, magento etc but Im not aware any of them can pull in info from amazon. Possibly a webscrape would work?? This can pull data from any website but Im not sure if it would be able to target your own listing data on amazon. It is a possibility that it can be done through your shop name but i wouldnt be certain about it. You could try looking for a pro on Fiverr or or other Tech pro websites like that and ask them if it is possible to do a webscrape for your amazon listings.

A website alone wouldn’t do that, if you mean a sales platform, still none that I’m aware of.
However some of the data is retrievable if you’ve got:
- A list of all of your ASINs
- An AMWS Developer Access Token
- And, a developer with a lot of time on their hands…
You could (theoretically) then import that data in to whichever other platform you needed.
See: https://docs.developer.amazonservices.com/en_UK/products/Products_Overview.html
Note: I’ve never actually tried to use the function myself, but it’s there in the API and seems to give some of the info you need (if not all of it).

I use woocommerce with a few plugins. Always been the cheapest I have found.
The plugin will synch stock with Amazon and your website (and other marketplaces too).
However, it cannot pull into woo all the relevant details of a product from Amazon (it will create a basic product if you get a sale and the corresponding sku is not in woo, but nothing more than a few details - I think it pulls in Title, ASIN, SKU, Price and possily picture but nothing else).
However, if you have the products on ebay, you can pull all details from there into woo then its just a matter of setting the ASIN of the product in woo and you are now synched with Amazon.
You can use the plugins to create a listing on both Amazon and eBay - but I find the Amazon creation mechanism is convoluted and difficult (listing creation on ebay works fine), so if I want to create a new listing on Amazon I usually do it directly on Amazon then copy the ASIN into the product Amazon ASIN field in woo.
