Amazon Promotion and Sponsored Products Accounts
Estimated reading time: 3 minutes.
Having a successful Amazon Promotion had an unintended result for me
After I had fixed my mapping issue it occurred to me that I have not been tracking my Amazon Sponsored Products/Advertising Campaign expenses. I could not have been. When I looked in my Xero Profit & Loss report there was no line for the coded account I made: Amazon - Ads; Cost Per Click. No line in the PNL means that there has not been any Amazon Sponsored Product related costs recorded.
Amazon Sponsored Products (Amazon - Ads; Cost Per Click as I set it up) does not exist in my PNL
Where Does Amazon Sponsored Products Money Come From
How was I paying for my Sponsored Products?
When I initially set up my Amazon account it was not set up to deduct Amazon Sponsored Product fees from my Amazon seller account balance. Instead, I set up my credit card as the method of payment. Either way is totally fine, but I had to know how to switch it if need be.
How do I change payment for my Amazon Sponsored Products?
Changing my method of payment was a lot easier than I though. It only took a second so it was a little embarrassing that it took me looking deeper into my Profit & Loss to figure it out. Just go to Settings > Account Information > Charge Methods for Advertising.
