Merch Wizard: A Review

Merch Wizard is yet another tool that is meant to make work easier for Merch by Amazon sellers.

As a merch seller on any print on demand platform, good research and data are key to the success of your business.

This tool performs several important functions for merch sellers. 

You can organize your products, conduct research, analyze the data, and upload your designs onto Merch by Amazon using this single platform.

Merch Wizard is a wonderful tool that will help get your products, and listings organized.

Below, we’ll look at a few of their key features.

Setup

Merch Wizard syncs with Airtable to help meet its functions.

Therefore, one of the first steps to creating a Merch Wizard account is getting a free Airtable account.

After you do this, download the Merch Wizard extension to your Chrome browser.

Then you need to get a Gumroad License Key. 

This can either be premium or free.

Once you have finished signing up with Gumroad, copy your key and paste it into the Merch Wizard options panel.

Click Save.

In your Airtable account, get an API key and add it to your Merch Wizard account. 

Airtable

Airtable is a safe and secure platform where you can store your listings.

It acts as a backup ensuring that your data is safe and protected in another storage platform apart from your internal storage. 

Merch Wizard does not store your information.

Once you sign up to Merch Wizard, you get access to a free template with sample listings with various fields to help you create your own sheet/s.

You can push particular products on to Airtable from your Merch Wizard account. 

Once pushed onto Airtable, important data is automatically recorded within this sheet.

This includes pricing, brand, bullets, colors, description of the listing, and more. 

It also adds the full-size image of your design onto Airtable.

This creates a complete back-up of your Merch by Amazon listings.

You can add up to 100 listings at a time.

Apart from creating this backup, a lot of important information can be seen on the sheet.

You can get the BSR rating of a particular product, the review rating of the product, and the number of reviews a specific product has received.

Features

Push Products To Airtable

The “push products to Airtable” button does just that.

It manually pushes listings onto Airtable, and onto the sheet that you have on that platform.

Automatic Sync

Automatic sync is available to higher-priced tiers of Merch Wizard.

It lets you automatically sync to all the marketplaces you sell under.

These include; the US, UK, and Germany.

You can choose the syncing speed, and how frequently you want your listings synced.

Dog Finder

Sometimes your products are not correctly displayed on Amazon and usually appear on the dog pages.

You can then use this tool to find out if any of your designs have this problem.

If your products appear on these pages, simply email Merch by Amazon so that they can fix this problem.

Update Sales Stats 

This feature loads your sales in the last 30 days or of all time and updates the sales fields within your Airtable sheet.

You can see how many times a product sold, how many times it was canceled, and how many times it was returned. 

Still, within the sheet, you will be able to see the revenue and royalties you have received from specific products.

This information is extremely useful for future decision making. 

Translation 

Merch Wizard uses the Amazon translation tool to help you translate your products into different languages. 

Create Multiple Products

The create multiple products page gives you the ability to create multiple products with the same design.

By going into your existing listing, you can choose a design that was on a t-shirt and apply it to all other products. 

Find the design you want to list, download the image, and drag it onto the different products within that page.

It copies all the listing information that was on the original product onto the new products and this drastically reduces the time you need to spend editing your product.

You can use the find and replace feature and replace the word t-shirt that was originally there with a more generic term like “design”. 

The feature also gives you the option to manually change the descriptions of each of these products. 

It lets you sell on the German market by using the translate to German tool.

It comes with an image resizer and that means you don’t need to use external tools to resize your designs.

You can then choose the color of your products and publish your product.

List Products on Other Print on Demand Platforms

You can easily make listings on other print on demand platforms by copying the product information on Merch Wizard and pasting it on the other print on demand platform.

Categorizing

Once you have added your listings onto Airtable, you can now begin to organize them.

The sheet has a niche field at the top that will be useful in helping you sort your designs by the niches they fall under.

Once you create a niche, you can choose the keywords you want to be associated with the designs.

When uploading future designs, choose the niche it falls under from the niches you created and keywords will be automatically generated for that product.

You can also generate keywords by adding tags that are relevant to your listing. 

By categorizing your products into niches, you can observe the sales data using the “Update Sales Stats” button in Merch Wizard and get a clear picture of how specific niches are performing.

Merch Wizard Pop-Up Extension

Once all your information has been pushed from your Merch by Amazon account onto Airtable, you can use the popup extension.

You can search for your listings by-product, for example, if you only want to view your t-shirts, it will bring this information on the popup.

It will bring up all your shirts and show you the brand, title, price, market, t-shirt preview, descriptions, and all relevant information that is relevant to your listing.

You can also download the PNG file associated with a product straight from the extension if you choose to.

You can open the edit page that will open your Merch by Amazon page where you can edit the details of that product. 

There is an advanced search feature that can help you search your designs by price or by keywords and then you can edit them as you see fit. 

The popup will open up and let you update the pricing of your listing.

You can do a find and replace for specific keywords if Merch by Amazon decided to ban keywords that you already use or you don’t find a keyword useful anymore. 

Advanced search will let you search for products in a particular niche, you can search for product reviews, and so much more.

You can generate a store on the popup.

Simply search for a particular phrase and choose the designs that you want to be in the store.

This will create a link that you can send to friends and family or someone who might be interested in these designs.
