To create A+ Content for your product, follow the steps below:
-
Select A+
Content from the Advertising menu on the
Seller Central homepage.
-
To add content, click Start creating A+ content and choose
the content type you want to create. You can include the following types of content
through A+:
-
Enhanced Product Description: More details on product features and uses
to augment the bullet points and images in the main product detail page. These help
customers make purchase decisions by proactively answering their
questions.
-
Follow the onscreen prompts to name your content and then select modules to create
the style you desire.
-
Populate the text and image slots. While you are adding content, you can click
Preview at any time to see what your content will look like
in both Desktop and Mobile versions.
Note: You are required to submit image keywords,
also known as alt-text, while uploading images. Image keywords should consist of a
simple sentence describing the image (for example, Blender on kitchen counter next
to fruit, yogurt, orange juice, and a smoothie glass). Image keywords do not
appear on the product detail page, but are available on screen reader applications
used by customers with visual impairments to learn more about your products. They
also help your product appear in search.
-
Apply ASINs to the content in the ASIN management section. You can add any ASIN from
an ASIN family to the search box to find all the ASINs in the family. Select the
ASINs that you want to apply to the content and click Apply. You can also use our
Bulk upload feature to upload a spreadsheet with the ASINs that you want to
apply. You will be required to use Bulk upload if you want to add more than 1,000
ASINs to the content.
-
Create language
variation drafts for other languages that customers use in the country. For instance, since many
customers in US choose to shop in Spanish, rather than English, create a language
variation for Spanish in US. This step copies your content and applied ASINs as
drafts that you can use to add translated content. You will be able
to review and submit these drafts individually later.
To help Customers who shop our stores in different languages,
Amazon may also create language variations automatically. The automatic content
translations are only created for languages where you have not previously
published the content. You can edit or delete them using the A+ Content
Manager.
Note: This step
creates language variations of content within a marketplace. To copy content
across countries, see Cross-country copying below.
-
Click Review & Submit to review the final draft of your
content, including the applied ASINs, and click Submit for
approval to send the content for validation and approval.
Note: Review can take up to
7 business days (longer during periods of high volume). You can review the status - in
the A+ Content home page. If the A+ status is Not Approved, view the rejection
reasons by clicking Edit for a specific piece of A+ content and make any needed
changes. After the A+ content is Approved, it can take up to 24 hours to publish
on the detail pages of the applied ASINs.
