I cannot authorize Jinnify

Likely causes

  • Wrong Amazon account signed in

  • Seller Central user cannot authorize third-party apps

  • Redirect or callback interrupted

  • Browser extensions blocking the flow

What to try

  1. Confirm the Amazon account in the browser.

  2. Retry in a clean session (or another browser).

  3. Use an owner/admin Seller Central user.

  4. Start again from Jinnify: Connect store → AmazonContinue to Amazon.

  5. Allow redirects back to app.jinnify.ai.

My store shows Reconnect needed

Amazon access expired or was revoked.

What to try

  1. On Your stores or the store menu, run Connect store → Amazon again.

  2. Approve with the correct seller user.

  3. Confirm status leaves Reconnect needed and sync progresses.

Do not expect a separate reconnect button on Manage for this case. Manage Reconnect store is for Onboarding Failed.

Onboarding failed

Manage shows Initial onboarding failed and Reconnect store.

What to try

  1. Manage → Reconnect store.

  2. Complete Amazon approval.

  3. If it fails again, contact support with seller ID, marketplace, screenshots, and time.

Data is missing after connect

Likely causes

  • Still Awaiting first sync / Syncing

  • Wrong marketplace selected in the top bar

  • Wrong seller connected

  • Store is Paused

What to try

  1. Check status on Your stores.

  2. Wait and refresh Your listings.

  3. Switch store/marketplace in the top bar.

  4. Test a SKU you know exists in Seller Central.

  5. Reconnect if the wrong account was authorized.

  6. Contact support if the connection looks healthy but nothing appears after a long wait.

Listing workflow will not start or publish

Symptom

What to try

Paywall / out of credits

Connect store (+5,000 on trial), upgrade, or buy a credit pack under Settings → Subscription & Usage

Bulk optimize blocked

Needs a real store, not sandbox-only

Publish blocked

Connect production Amazon; complete required publish fields (SKU, price, condition as asked)

Optimize cannot find ASIN

Confirm store/marketplace; wait for sync; try Your listings search

Draft exists but publish fails

Read the error toast; fix attributes; retry one field set

Listing changes did not appear on Amazon

Likely causes

  • Amazon still processing

  • Recommendation still sitting in Inbox (never approved)

  • Catalog conflict or normalization

  • Required attributes missing

  • Submission failed in Jinnify

What to try

  1. Confirm whether you published from Create or only proposed to Inbox.

  2. Open Automate → Inbox for the same store and approve if pending.

  3. Wait for propagation; compare Seller Central field by field.

  4. Retry a smaller change.

  5. Fix invalid or missing required attributes before more copy work.

Partial updates

Amazon often accepts some fields and rejects or delays others.

What to try

  • Note which fields moved

  • Retry only the failed fields

  • Simplify risky claims or formatting

  • Check variation parent/child ownership

Amazon rejected the update

Capture the exact message if shown. Remove disallowed claims, fix invalid attributes, complete required fields, then retry. Category rules differ by marketplace.

SKU or ASIN not found

What to try

  • Verify the identifier in Seller Central

  • Confirm connected seller and marketplace

  • Wait for sync

  • Search by title on Your listings

  • Reconnect the correct account if needed

Marketplace missing or unexpected

Compare Seller Central marketplaces to Your stores rows. Each country is its own store. Pause unused ones; reconnect if the wrong seller was linked.

Content looks different in Seller Central than in Jinnify

Jinnify may show prepared or submitted content while Amazon displays a normalized or partially accepted version. Use Amazon’s live page as the display source of truth after processing time.

Inbox issues

Problem

What to try

Empty after bulk or agent

Confirm top bar store; refresh; check batch used inbox mode vs auto

Item missing after Snooze 24h

Expected — it is hidden from the open Inbox for about a day, then returns. Snooze is not Dismiss

Cannot open Automate

Automate needs a real connected store; you may be redirected to Create

Approve fails

Read error; check store still connected and not paused; retry

Chat Auto-approve vs BYOA

In-app chat toggle does not change API token mode

Credits and billing

Problem

What to try

Out of credits mid-work

Settings → Subscription & Usage; connect store on trial; upgrade; credit packs (subscribers)

Bulk optimize stopped early

Credits ran out mid-batch (about 80 per listing); top up and rerun a smaller batch

Upgraded but still gated

Refresh; wait for Stripe webhook; open Manage Billing & Invoices; contact support

Unexpected charge

See Billing article; gather invoice email and dates before support

Bring your own agent

Problem

What to try

Lost token

Revoke and create a new one; update JINNIFY_API_TOKEN

Cannot approve

Recommend token cannot approve — use Inbox or Auto-approve token

Store not visible

Token allowed stores; not sandbox; not paused

wrong_token_type

Some routes are web-app only; use the app for those actions

Skills missing

Export JINNIFY_API_TOKEN; re-ask agent to learn from https://backend.app.jinnify.ai/api/v2/skills, or run curl archive from in-app setup; restart agent

Workflow feels stuck

Refresh, check network, try a smaller single-listing Optimize, confirm SSE/chat connection if you are in chat, and retry. Contact support if status never changes and no error appears.

Collect diagnostics before support

Include:

  • Jinnify account email

  • Marketplace and seller ID

  • Affected ASIN / SKU

  • Workflow name (Optimize, New listing, Bulk optimize, Inbox approve, BYOA, connect)

  • Exact error text

  • Screenshot or recording

  • Timestamp and timezone

  • What you expected vs what happened

  • Steps already tried

When to contact support

  • Same issue after the fixes above

  • Auth loops or onboarding fails repeatedly

  • Active connection with no data for a long time

  • Billing state does not match Stripe checkout

  • Suspected security issue (use security routing in Contact & Escalation)
