As an agency, how can I add my clients with the SPP (Solutions Provider Portal)

Summary of the Issue Amazon has not yet built the necessary infrastructure for agencies to connect their clients’ Seller Central accounts to third-party tools (like Ad Badger) using the new Solutions Provider Portal (SPP). If your agency manages client accounts via SPP, you will not be able to connect those accounts to Ad Badger (or any other Amazon Ads API tool) at this time. This is a limitation on Amazon’s side, and we are actively in communication with their product and engineering teams about a resolution. 🧭 Background Historically, agencies could connect client accounts to Ad Badger (and similar software) as long as they were added as secondary users in Seller Central with the appropriate advertising permissions. Under this “old” method: - The agency’s user was granted access directly to the client’s Seller Central account (added as a user) - Ad Badger could detect and integrate those profiles through the Amazon Ads and Selling Partner APIs. However, when agencies are added through the Solutions Provider Portal, Amazon’s API does not pass through delegated client access. This means: - The agency can see its own agency account in Seller Central. - But tools like Ad Badger cannot access the underlying client accounts the agency manages under that SPP umbrella. Amazon has confirmed this is a known limitation of the new SPP access model. Current Workaround (Amazon’s Recommendation) Until Amazon completes the required updates, agencies must continue using the traditional access method. Here’s what to do: 1. Ask each client to add your agency as a user (employee) directly to their Seller Central account. 2. Your agency user should be granted Admin permissions for both:

Understanding Overage Fees

If you've encountered an overage fee and are wondering what it is, you're in the right place! What is an overage fee? An overage fee occurs when your usage surpasses the allocated limits of your subscription. Because Ad Badger continuously processes and syncs your campaign data, managing higher spend levels requires additional processing power and database resources. Overage fees help us maintain optimal performance and uninterrupted service for everyone. How Overage Fees Work We include a 10% spend buffer on all plans to account for minor fluctuations in Amazon's ad data. You will not incur any overage fee if your total spend remains under 110% of your plan's limit. When your spend goes beyond 110% of your plan limit, the overage fee is the difference between your current plan and the plan that covers your actual spend, multiplied by 1.1. - Formula: (Correct Plan Price − Current Plan Price) × 1.1 - Example Scenario: - Current Plan: Starter Monthly ($275/month with up to $5,000 spend limit) - Actual Spend: $50,000 - Correct Plan for $50k Spend: Professional Monthly ($660/month, covering up to $75,000 spend) - Price Difference: $660.00 − $275.00 = $385.00 - Overage Fee: $385.00 × 1.1 = $423.50 How to Avoid Overage Fees If your ad spend consistently exceeds your plan limit—or if you expect seasonal spikes—upgrading to a higher plan tier is usually the most cost-effective solution. You can check your current ad spend anytime under Settings & Info > Billing. Upgrading ensures a seamless experience without worrying about unexpected charges. 💬 Need Help?

How Do I Add My Amazon Account, Store, and Marketplace to Ad Badger?

Here are the steps to sync your Amazon account to Ad Badger's software. We ensure that security is maintained throughout the process. 1. How to Add Your Amazon Account to Ad Badger: First you'll need to navigate to the Amazon Account, Store, and Marketplaces settings screens. You can access these from the sidebar under "Marketplaces". Connect your Amazon Account in the "Advertising Account" section of your software settings. The correct account to connect is the one you use to log in to the Amazon Advertising Marketplace to access your store(s). To add your account, click on the "Connect Advertising Account" button and follow the steps. Agencies:__ If you use multiple seller accounts to access clients, you can add each of them using "Connect New Account". You may name the account whatever you want. This is for easy recognition within the software, and it will not change the name of the account in Amazon. Select the region of your marketplaces. Your account is region-specific with Amazon. They are: - North America: Canada, USA, Mexico - Europe: United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, India - Asia Pacific: Australia, Japan  Once you have named the account and clicked on the correct region, a login window will appear on your screen. Sign in to your Amazon Advertising account. Then, Click "Allow" 2. How to Add Your Store and Marketplace Once your Advertising Account is connected, you can head to the "Marketplaces" page to connect your marketplaces. After clicking "Connect Marketplace", select the Advertising Account that you connected in Step 1 to view its available marketplaces. Then, select each of the available marketplaces you wish to connect. Once you have selected everything you want, you can click "Connect". You do not need to connect your store separately from your marketplace; the connection will be made automatically. When your marketplace is added, you will see it listed along with the following: the flag of the country associated with the marketplace, the last time this marketplace data was synced with Ad Badger, and any available actions. Please note that it may take several hours to fully sync your marketplace for the first time, depending on the size of your marketplace. Voila! If you've completed these steps, Ad Badger is now added to your Amazon Account, Store, and Marketplace. Pro-Tips 1. You can change the name of your Store to anything you want for ease of management by clicking the pencil icon next to the store. This will not change the name of the store on Amazon, it will only change the name displayed in the Ad Badger Software 2. In addition, you can connect the Seller-API from this screen as well to start populating the "Product Ad Data" screen to enable viewing of Total ACoS and Hourly Data on your account. 3. Lastly, on the "All Stores" screen you can see the date the marketplace was connected and the number of marketplaces connected from the account.
