Please note: In order to authorize accounts for the Amazon Advertising API, your authorizing user must have the following permission:

• Advertising: View & Edit Campaigns

This can be confirmed/enabled in the Advertising Console by going to Administration Administration > Account Access & Settings > Users > Access level > Edit

1. Log in to the Reason Automation client portal.

If you have not yet created an account, please follow these instructions:

Create a Reason Automation portal account

2. Connect your Amazon account.

In the portal, click on “Connect New Account” on the homepage or in the left navigation under “Manage Your Data.”

• Please identify the account by giving it a name in the “Brand Name” field.
• Choose Advertising from the “Account Type” dropdown.
• Choose a marketplace (e.g. US). If you are connecting multiple marketplaces, you must authorize each marketplace one at a time.
• Click “Continue.”

• Please double-check the Brand Name, Account Type, and Marketplace, then click “Authorize.”
• An Amazon login will open in a new window. To authorize Reason Automation, please log in as an administrator or a user with the following permission:
• Advertising: View & Edit Campaigns

• After logging in, you will be redirected back to Reason Automation’s portal to select an Advertising Profile. Select the profile you wish to authorize for this brand & marketplace. If you are setting up multiple profiles, you will repeat this process, as Amazon requires each profile to be set up individually.
