Settings

Settings live in the extension sidebar, not on this website. They apply to this browser profile's database and notifications. Another computer does not inherit them.

The sections, in the order the sidebar lists them: General, Notifications, Ads accounts, Optimize, Create page and Account.

General

Automatic sync sets how often the background lanes wake while Chrome is open:

• Automatic — the product's own floors (sales about every minute, listings about every five minutes, advertising about every hour).
• A slower floor — fifteen minutes through eight hours — that only slows those baselines. It never makes a lane fetch faster than Automatic.
• Manual only — nothing runs until you ask. The dashboard shows that state so a quiet screen is not mistaken for a healthy one.

Sales history caps how far back the first sales pass reaches: lifetime, or four / two / one years. Shorter horizons finish the first sync sooner; they do not invent days Amazon no longer serves.

Delivery lets you set the postcode each marketplace uses for retail price, rank and review reads (with a sensible default per market when you leave it alone).

Product images chooses what Catalog and Overview thumbs prefer: Automatic (artwork for designs, garment mockups for products), Artwork only, or Product mockups. Dark artwork can look black on a dark UI; mockup mode is the standing escape hatch. There is no darkness detector.

Privacy mode hides product names, ASINs and artwork on screen when you need to share the window; every figure stays. Mute and quiet hours on Notifications do not turn this on for you — it is its own switch.

Notifications

One row per event, with two columns: a desktop alert and, for some events, a sound. A notification that is on appears as a Chrome banner, or as a toast while the dashboard has focus, and is kept in the Activity tab of the envelope in the header. The sound choices are None, Cash register, Chime, Coin, Pop and Soft low. Quiet hours and Mute everything silence banners and sounds for the window you set; the optional sales count in the tab title and the toolbar badge are glances, not interruptions, and stay visible.

Notifications and Amazon messages lists every event, the toolbar badge and the Messages panel.

Ads accounts

Which advertising accounts the dashboard includes. The accounts are grouped in market tabs, one per marketplace, and a tab shows a dot when it holds changes you have not saved. Nothing is written until you press Save changes (or Discard to put the tab back); that save is what starts or stops fetching for the accounts you ticked or unticked. If none are listed, use Find accounts from that empty state after you are signed into Amazon Advertising in this browser. The first-run screen uses the same picker.

Optimize

Settings for Optimize, which suggests changes to your advertising. Nothing is applied without you: every suggestion waits in the Publish queue for your approval.

Create page

Everything the extension remembers for Amazon's create page, kept in this browser:

• On Merch's own pages — whether MerchPPC shows on the create page, the keyboard shortcuts, and whether a publish run pauses on each design.
• Setups — named configurations you reuse.
• Words to warn me about — words you want flagged on every listing.
• Words you have allowed — built-in words the create page no longer flags.
• Your trademark list — terms you know are somebody's mark, per marketplace.

The built-in word list can be opened from here. See Trademark checks for how the last three work, and Creating on Merch for the page itself.

Account

The link between this browser and your merchppc.com account; see Plans and the trial for the plan itself.

Where the rest of the help points

• Data health and sync — what the lanes fetch and how to read Data status.
• Notifications and Amazon messages — events, sounds, the badge.
• Trademark checks — the create page's alerts and your own lists.
• Overview and trends — sale notifications and the day lists.
• Catalog and coverage — product images and the full Products table.
