Creating on Merch

MerchPPC does not replace merch.amazon.com/designs/new. It sits on that page with you: artwork, markets, product types and copy still go through Amazon's own create flow. What the extension adds is memory and pacing around it. From version 1.0.0 the create page tools are on by default; you can turn them off under Settings → Create page → On Merch's own pages.

What Settings remembers

Under Settings → Create page you keep:

• On Merch's own pages — whether MerchPPC shows on the create page, its keyboard shortcuts, and whether a publish run pauses on each design.
• Setups — named configurations you reuse.
• Words to warn me about and Words you have allowed — the word checks on your listing copy.
• Your trademark list — terms you know are somebody's mark, per marketplace.

Restoring Settings preferences does not wipe Setups or the word and trademark lists. That distinction is on the page under Restore; Settings summarises it.

Checks while you write

The create page marks words in your brand, title, bullets and description. Prohibited-term warnings come from the built-in list and your own. The trademark check asks the MerchPPC site whether a phrase matches a live mark in the register that governs the marketplace, and marks the result under each field. Trademark checks explains the four kinds of mark, which marketplace is checked against which register, and what is sent. It is a search, not legal advice.

Nothing publishes itself

Finishing a create still stages work the same way every other write does: through the Publish queue. If a Lookout or a bulk basket opens create for you, what lands is a proposal or a paced run — not a silent publish.

Where else to look

• Trademark checks — the alerts under the create page's fields.
• Catalog and coverage — designs vs listings, gaps, product images.
• Nothing reaches Amazon without your approval — the queue.
• Creating campaigns — Sponsored Products, which is a different surface.
