      How to Download a Report from Amazon

      For more information on downloading reports from Amazon check out the Amazon Associates help center article on How to Download Reports.

      1. Click “Reports” and then “Download Reports.” 
      2. In the pop-up screen, select the date range you want to download reports for.
        1. If this is your first time uploading data or you want to upload more historical data, we recommend downloading three month’s of data from Amazon at a time. Maximum file upload size is 10MB – if you have a very large program with Amazon, you may need to choose a shorter date range.
        2. If you have already uploaded data and are only trying to upload new data, set 2019-04-16 as the start date and today as the end date.
      3. Check all the available checkboxes and “XLSX” as the Format.
      4. Click “Generate Reports”
      5. A new line will appear in the table with the status “Preparing…” Wait for the report to be ready (you can click “Refresh” to check). Note, if you are downloading historical data, this may take several minutes.
      6. Once the status changes to “Download”, click “Download.” A .zip file will be downloaded. Drag that .zip file into the box in the upload window.
