Summary of some useful “extensions” for Merch by Amazon

In this article, I will introduce you to some free “extensions” that help you find products, analyse and manage your Merch by Amazon account.

1- DS Amazon Quick View

DS Amazon Quick View is an extension that adds ratings (BSR – Best Seller Rank) and displays product information.

Why need BSR? It’s simply an index you can rely on to find potential designs, niches & topics on Amazon.

When the BSR is low (< 500k) it means the item is selling well, and when it is high (> 1 million) – the basic item has not generated sales recently or is out of season.

The case “Rank not found” – not showing BSR is because the product has never been on sale to create a rating.

2- AMZ Suggestion Expander

In addition to finding out which products are selling well through BSR, you also need to look at the keywords related to the topic used to rank & search for the product. AMZ Suggestion Expander will help you do this.

After installing the widget, enter a word related to the item or topic you’re thinking of. For example, I enter “mother’s day”. AMZ Suggestion Expander will suggest keywords/phrases that people use when searching on Amazon. This gives you more ideas, finds more “long tail keywords” that help reduce competition & dives into the main topic.

3- PrettyMerch

PrettyMerch is an extension that is loved and used by many people. Especially a newbie who “likes to fish”. Besides:

The account page is intuitive and easy to track indicators.

The real-time notification when there is a sale with the bell sounds pretty good.

Detailed analysis of sales so far.

The product management page displays details & filters according to individual needs for optimization.

4- Productor

This can be called the “tycoon” of free utilities for Merch.

Because Productor includes a lot of functions for you to exploit & use:

Display BSR index, detailed information of the product.

Filters sort BSR, Price, Reviews, … from low to high & vice versa.

Export all product information to Excel file.

Check Trademark when searching & even uploading new designs.

Can restore previously deleted design, including full text & images.

There are many other interesting things you can find out by yourself.

Cons: There are too many functions in one utility, so the data load time is quite long.

In addition to the “extensions” listed above. I introduce you to the Merch Research page, which uses a filter to display only products sold through Merch. The purpose of optimizing competitor research & product classification.

Usage is very simple. You just need to select the market (US, UK or DE) -> product type (t-shirt, popsocket, tank top, …) -> enter the keywords you want to find and you’re done.
