This section assumes you have already downloaded ScanLister to your computer.  If you have not done so already, you can download here. After downloading and entering the license key, you will be prompted to the setup wizard below.

Step 3: Connect your Amazon seller account

This is the one step you can't skip — nothing else works until a connection is live. Choose your region and click + Connect Amazon. One region covers all of its marketplaces, so North America connects the US, Canada, Mexico and Brazil in a single authorization.

Pick a region, then click + Connect Amazon.

A browser window opens on Amazon's own page. If your business has storefronts in several countries, Amazon asks you to choose one first — pick the account you list from and click Select account.

Then review the four permissions ScanLister asks for — Fulfillment, Pricing, Inventory and Order Tracking, and Product Listing — tick the confirmation box, and click Confirm. Amazon returns you to ScanLister automatically.

You're signing in to Amazon here, not to ScanLister — we never see your Amazon password.

Back in ScanLister, click Test to verify the connection. Each marketplace has its own unit of measure toggle, so US and Canadian listings can use pounds and inches while Mexico and Brazil use kilograms and centimetres.
