The connector allows product import and export between Amazon and OpenCart, ensuring your product catalog remains synchronized across both platforms.

You can also update product details on Amazon directly from the OpenCart admin panel.

In addition, it supports category mapping, allowing you to map Amazon categories with OpenCart categories for accurate product synchronization and listing.

It also enables order synchronization by importing Amazon orders into your OpenCart store, making order management more efficient.

You can manage all your marketplace orders from a single place.

Overall, the OpenCart Amazon Connector simplifies multi-channel selling by managing products, categories, and orders within your OpenCart store.
