Create Item
You can create new catalog items directly through the Merchant Portal UI. This provides a user-friendly interface for adding products to your Just Walk Out store catalog without needing to use Excel templates or API calls.
Note: If you do not see the item creation functionality in your Merchant Portal, please reach out to Amazon to try this new feature.
