Our latest version of Price Checker 2 (3.0.78) uses Amazon’s all new Selling Partner API.

...

The new API uses a different authorisation model. If you are upgrading from an older version of PC2 your account should be moved over seamlessly, however, if for any reason you do not see your usual marketplaces with a green tick mark, please follow these simple steps to get connected again:

Info
  1. Go to https://www.dailysourcetools.com/price-checker/sp-api-authorization/

  2. Login with email and password

  3. Select your marketplace from dropdown menu e.g. ‘Amazon.com’ and click “Authorize

  4. Now inside Seller Central, check the box and click ‘Confirm’ button.

That’s it!

On returning to PC2 software you’ll now see green ticks for each market that you can access (inside Marketplace Setup in menu on left). Please don't forget to select “Refresh” if you had PC2 running while going through the above process.

** Repeat these steps for each separate selling region (North America or Europe) you require **

Notes

Product Group

The capitalisation may differ from what you may be used to from previous versions of PC2.

AZ Feature 1-5

Renamed AZ Bullet Point 1-5 (e.g. AZ Bullet Point 1)
There are bullet point columns 1 through 5, however, as the API is flexible on the number of supported bullets (With some test items having 8 or more), an additional column, AZ Bullet Points, will contain the data of all bullet points in a single field. This is formatted as a list with each bullet point separated by a single new line character (\n).

Product Type Name

Renamed Product Type

AMZ Multi Pack Qty

If not available will now fall back to using “Number of Items” (or otherwise 1 as before).

Renamed Main Image

No# of sellers

Renamed No# of New sellers to clarify that this is for NEW condition only.

Shipment Restrictions

Description

Considerations

Discard Reason

998

The reason/name of the filter which caused this item to be discarded.

Adding this column will cause discarded/filtered items to remain in the output. This doesn’t affect speed.

Remove this column to cause discarded items to be removed completely.

Diagnostics

999

Displays a list of item specific events and/or errors to aid with debugging.

This may contain a lot of information and therefore dramatically increase the size of your file. We recommend use only when advised by support.

All Attributes (JSON)

1999

All attributes in JSON format, exactly as returned by the API.

Please note that this field can be very large in Excel.

This may be best used for debugging, if you intend to post-process this data programmatically, or to help suggest the addition of another directly accessible column for an attribute that you use.

AZ Bullet Points

720

All Amazon bullet points as a newline ('\n') separated list (i.e. the contents of one bullet point per line).

Inbound Guidance

143

Returns Amazon's reason(s) when inbound shipment is not recommended.

Examples include overstocked/slow moving items.

Returns 'InboundNotRecommended' if no reason given, or blank if inbound shipment is ok.

Small & Light Suitable?

144

True/false - Whether or not this item is Small and Light suitable.

Please note that this only examines dimensions, price, hazmat and priceadult. It doesn’t account for any other criteria, such as goods that are restricted, FBA prohibited, adult, hazmat, temperature sensitive, etc.

Please check Seller Central for full eligibility criteria in your marketplace.

See “Small and Light Fees” above

Listing Restrictions

145

Blank if no restrictions.

If there are restrictions, displays the reason(s) for the restriction(s) as a new-line ('\n') separated list (i.e. one reason per line).

Hazmat Prevents Shipment

146

True if FBA shipment is not accepted due to the item’s hazmat status. For example if the item is currently under Hazmat review.
