How to Export Flat File Home from Amazon Seller (2026 Guide)

Open sellercentral.amazon.com and sign in with your seller account email and password. Complete two-factor authentication if prompted. Confirm you are in the correct marketplace for the home and kitchen products you want to manage.

From the top navigation, hover over 'Inventory' and click 'Add Products via Upload'. This opens the bulk listing management interface where you can download templates, upload product files, and monitor upload processing.

Click the 'Download an Inventory File' tab and select 'Category-Specific Inventory Files'. Category-specific templates provide additional fields relevant to particular product types beyond the universal listing columns.

Search for or browse to 'Home & Kitchen' in the category list. This category covers a wide range of products from kitchenware and furniture to home decor and storage. The template will include fields for material composition, dimensions, pattern, room type, and style.

Tip: If your products fit a more specific subcategory like 'Kitchen & Dining' or 'Bedding', select that subcategory for a template with even more targeted attribute fields.

Click 'Generate Template' and save the file to your computer. The Home & Kitchen template includes standard fields (SKU, title, price, quantity) alongside category-specific columns for material_composition, item_length, item_width, item_height, pattern_name, room_type, and style_name.

Open the template in your spreadsheet application and review the column headers. Home & Kitchen products benefit greatly from complete dimension data (length, width, height in inches) since customers often need to verify that items will fit their space. The Data Definitions tab lists accepted values for fields like room_type and style_name.

Warning: Product dimensions (item_length, item_width, item_height) should be provided in inches for the US marketplace. Using incorrect units can lead to misleading listings and increased return rates.

Enter your products row by row. Complete all required fields (item_sku, item_name, brand_name, standard_price, quantity) and add the home-specific attributes: material_composition, dimensions, pattern_name, room_type, and style_name. Accurate attributes help your products appear in browse filters on the Amazon storefront.

Tip: Include the room_type field (e.g., Kitchen, Bedroom, Bathroom) to help Amazon categorize your product correctly in browse navigation. Products with complete room and style data tend to rank higher in category-filtered searches.

Save the template file with your data intact and column headers unchanged. Go to Inventory > Add Products via Upload > Upload your Inventory File. Select and upload your file. After processing completes, review the processing report for any validation errors that need to be corrected.
