Find a marketplace listing ID

Find a marketplace listing ID.

Every marketplace gives each listing its own ID, such as a TCIN on Target Plus or an ASIN on Amazon. Acenda stores these as Alternate IDs. The quickest way to get every listing ID on a channel is to download one CSV from that channel's Products tab.

Open Channels, then Integrations. Under Sales Channels, click Edit next to the channel — for example your Target Plus channel — then open the Products tab. Hover the download icon in the upper-right of the product list. Its tooltip reads Download all item statuses as CSV. We won't start a download in this demo. In the file, alternate_id_name is the ID type, and alternate_id_value is the ID itself. Each download covers one channel only.

To find the ID for one item you already know, open Catalog, then Items, and open that item. Select the Channel Status tab, then select the sales channel on the left. Look for the View field. When it is present, the ID text itself is a clickable link to the item on the marketplace. On Target Plus, that link text is the TCIN. A TCIN can appear while status is still Pending, so having a TCIN does not mean the item is live. View appears only for Target Plus, Walmart, and Amazon. Other channels can still store an Alternate ID; use the download or search steps for those.

When you have a TCIN, ASIN, or other Alternate ID and need the matching Acenda item, return to that channel's Products tab. Set Search by to Alternate ID, enter the exact ID, and run the search. The match must be exact.

When a listing is live on the shopper site, the ID is often in the page URL — after A-dash on Target, or in the product URL on Amazon. One Amazon tip: the View link text shows your seller SKU, not the ASIN. To see the ASIN as text, search by Alternate ID or download the CSV.

To recap: download the channel CSV for every ID, check Channel Status View for one item, or search Products by Alternate ID. Questions? We're here to help. Chat with Acenda support in Acenda Admin.
