Hey all, new seller on amazon. We currently sell via shopify and was mostly set up by our marketing firm we had hired. Attempting to expand onto Amazon ourselves.
We sell clothes (with variation on size and color). When listing our product, the initial product detail asks for an external product ID. For this, we have UPCs for each variation. But which ID should we use for the "parent ID"? We don't exactly have an umbrella UPC for each of our products that we use (we do have an internal ID we use but it's not one of that complies with the EAN, UPC, GTIN, or ASIN character requirements).
Should we just click "no product ID"?
Follow up question if we go the no product ID route... when doing the variations, it auto-populates individual seller SKUs that we did not create... but then amazon has an error that says it isn't recognized in their database...?
