How do I get my Amazon Tax Settings to work with SureDone?

Amazon uses a product tax code on each listing to decide how the product is taxed. To send tax codes from SureDone, store the code in a product field and map that field to Amazon's Product Tax Code. The general tax code is A_GEN_TAX. Use a more specific code for products where Amazon gives you one.

1. Create a field for the tax code

  1. Go to Settings > Custom Fields and click Add field.
  2. Give it a label such as "Amazon Tax Code" and the API name amazontaxcode, and leave the type as Varchar.
  3. Turn on Use default value and enter A_GEN_TAX, so new products get the general code automatically.
  4. Click Save changes. These settings can't be changed once the field is created.


For more detail, see How To: Create Custom Fields For Products and Orders.

2. Map the field to Amazon

  1. Go to Channels > Amazon > Manage Fields. If you have more than one Amazon account, do this for each one.
  2. Type "tax code" in Search fields.
  3. In the Product Tax Code row, select your new field.
  4. Click Save changes.

3. Send the tax code to your listings

Amazon receives the tax code the next time each product is sent. To update all your existing listings at once, upload a bulk file with your field as a column, with the code in each row:

action,guid,amazontaxcode edit,MUG-BLUE-01,A_GEN_TAX edit,MUG-RED-01,A_GEN_TAX

For products that need a different code, enter that code instead, either in the bulk file or in the product editor, and click Update. Use the tax codes Amazon provides for your account.
