How to generate Amazon ASIN code? Is it important?

Whether it is domestic e-commerce or cross-border e-commerce, there are still many common points. For example, all products have their own unique link identifier. Amazon calls it an asin code, so how is this asin code generated?

ASIN: Amazon Standard Identification Number. When a product is uploaded, submitted, or published, Amazon will randomly generate a string of numbers, which is the ASIN code. If it is a book, the ASIN code is equivalent to the ISBN number used worldwide. Each product distributed by Amazon has a unique 10-digit ASIN code. The ASIN code is like the product's ID card, and is the only credential for identifying and finding the same product.

Because it is a randomly generated alphanumeric combination. One of the characteristics of ASIN is that it has no special meaning. You cannot infer anything about the product from this string itself, such as category, title, inventory status, etc., nor can you infer the relationship between two ASINs (such as whether they are different models of the same product).

Is it important?

1. ASIN is important to both Amazon and sellers because ASIN is used to reference catalog data, track product inventory, and index catalog pages for searching and browsing.

2. ASIN is the foundation of Amazon's product catalog structure, which in turn provides buyers with more advanced search options, such as deepening into multiple categories. Buyers can even enter a product description or ASIN number in the search box to find the product they are looking for. Using the product's ASIN, Amazon can provide accurate and relevant product searches every time.

3. It is crucial that sellers make sure to use the correct ASIN for their products, otherwise Amazon will not be able to display your products for buyers. So, if you want to list any product on Amazon, you must match the product to an existing ASIN or create a new ASIN.

In general, the Amazon ASIN code is a randomly generated string of numbers with no pattern or special meaning. It is like the product's ID card, the only credential to identify and find the same product.
