Amazon Seller Central - User Access Instructions

A quick step-by-step for adding Ecommagnet as a user on your Seller Central account. It takes about five minutes, and it is what lets us build your audit on your real numbers rather than estimates.

~5 minutes 7 steps Screenshots for every step
1

Open the invite form

Sign in to the Seller Central account you want to give us access to, then click the button. It opens the Add Employee form directly. If Amazon asks you to log in first, log in and click the button again.

Choose how much access

Each permission has None / View / Edit / Admin options. Pick one of the two options below.

Option A · Limited access

Set these four permissions

Each one unlocks a specific part of your audit. Here is what you get from each.

Campaign Manager

Set to View

What this shows you: every campaign, keyword and search term your ad budget is actually spent on. In your audit this becomes the wasted-spend number — the specific keywords taking money each month without producing a sale, and what stopping them would put back in your pocket.

Business Reports, Sales Summary

Set to Edit

What this shows you: how many people reach each product page and what share of them buy. This is how your audit tells a traffic problem apart from a conversion problem — whether your listing needs more visitors, or whether the visitors you already have are leaving without buying.

Business Reports (B2B), Sales Summary

Set to View

What this shows you: the business-buyer half of your sales, which sits in a separate report most sellers never open. Your audit uses it to show how much of your revenue comes from business customers and which of your products sell better to businesses than to consumers — often a channel that is already working and simply has nobody paying attention to it.

Selling Partner Appstore

Set to Edit

What this shows you: this is the one that turns the audit from a set of screenshots into your real numbers. It lets your account connect to our reporting tool through Amazon's own app authorisation, so the audit can read your actual fees, inventory and returns — and give you a true profit figure per product, after every Amazon fee. Most sellers are estimating that number. Without this permission, so are we.

Here is how the four look when set:

The four permissions with the right option selected
Why this one is safe
  • It is Amazon's own system, not a workaround. It is the same authorisation every Amazon tool uses — Helium 10, Jungle Scout, SellerBoard and the rest all connect this way.
  • It does not touch your money. It gives no access to your bank details or payment methods, and nothing about it can move funds or change your prices.
  • Nobody can log in as you. This is an account permission, not your password. Your login stays yours.
  • You can switch it off yourself, any time. Seller Central → Apps & Services → Manage Your Apps, and revoke the connection. You never have to ask us, and you do not need our agreement.
Option B · Full access

Or set everything to Edit

Use the Edit button at the top of each permission group to apply it to every item in that section at once. This covers all of the above and lets us act on what the audit finds, rather than handing you a list of fixes to make yourself.

Not sure which to pick? Choose Full access — it lets us do the work for you end to end instead of sending you instructions. You can reduce it at any point.
