Configure Amazon Advertising as a Self-Service Device-Based Destination configure-amazon
This article explains how to configure an integration with Amazon Advertising.
Prerequisites prerequisites
Before you configure your Amazon Advertising destination, make sure you meet the following prerequisites.
- Your Amazon account must be eligible for advertising.
- When creating the first Amazon Advertising destination in your Audience Manager instance, please contact Adobe Consulting or Customer Care to enable the Amazon ID synchronization (Data Source ID = 139200) for your account. This is required for the correct synchronization between Audience Manager and Amazon.
- After the new data provider audiences are created, you should update their metadata and add the audience fees. For this operation you can use the Amazon Ads API or the Amazon Advertising UI.
