Storefront Butler — sync every piece of your Amazon storefront

Pull photos, videos, idea lists, and media collections from your Amazon storefront into one searchable feed enriched with Creators API data.

What Storefront Butler does

Storefront Butler walks your entire Amazon Creator storefront — every shoppable video, photo post, idea list, and media collection — and stores the result in a single spreadsheet-ready feed. It then enriches each row with Creators API data (titles, prices, commission rates, parent ASINs) so downstream workspaces have one consistent source of truth.

Lots of other workspaces depend on what Storefront Butler produces. Video Butler queues from this catalog. Retag Butler scans it for out-of-stock ASINs. Benable Butler lists from it. If Storefront Butler is empty or stale, those downstream tools have nothing to work with.

Before you start

You need:

  1. Your Amazon Creator storefront URL — the public https://www.amazon.com/shop/yourname link. Storefront Butler auto-fills it from Settings → Storefront Scan if you've configured it there.
  2. A signed-in Amazon session in Chrome — Storefront Butler opens a Chrome window and uses your existing session. There's no separate login.
  3. Creators API key in API Integrations (recommended, not strictly required). Without it, enrichment is skipped and you only get raw URLs + ASINs.

Running your first sync

  1. Open Storefront Butler in the left nav (under Amazon Butler).
  2. Confirm the Storefront URL field shows your storefront. Edit it if you want a one-off override.
  3. Leave Content types to sync at the default (photo, video, idea-list, media-list) — you can narrow later.
  4. Click Run.

A Chrome window opens and walks each content section. Progress shows in the Content totals card: Videos, Photos, Idea lists, Media lists. A full storefront sync typically takes 10–20 minutes depending on volume — flip Watch it run on if you want to see the browser scroll through.

Tuning over time

A few knobs you'll likely touch after the first run:

  • maxItemsByType in settings caps how many items are pulled per category. Useful if you have 500+ photos but only care about the latest 100.
  • createDeepLinks + deepLinkProvider route every product URL through your configured affiliate provider (PostTap, Linktw.in, Geniuslink, etc.) on the way into the feed.
  • flagUnavailableForRetag stays on by default — when Storefront Butler sees an out-of-stock ASIN, it tags the row so Retag Butler can swap it later.
  • pricingScheduler re-runs the price/commission refresh on a cadence (default 12h) without re-walking the whole storefront.

Where the data goes

Rows land in your preseed workspace cache. Downstream workspaces read directly from there — you don't need to export anything manually. If you want a spreadsheet copy, the table view supports Export CSV from the row toolbar.

Common gotchas

  • "Storefront URL is empty" — set it in this workspace or in Settings → Storefront Scan. The Settings copy is the default for every workspace that needs your storefront.
  • Sync looks frozen on a single section — Amazon throttled. Storefront Butler retries with backoff; give it a minute before clicking Stop.
  • Enrichment rows missing prices — usually means your Creators API key is missing or expired. Open API Integrations and re-verify.
