ScoutIQ and ScoutIQ 2 help reduce Amazon restriction risk with Personalized Restriction Checks. These checks use your Amazon Professional Seller account to show whether a book or media item is restricted for your account before you buy it.
Because these checks are tied to your account, they provide real-time visibility into whether you are currently eligible to sell a specific item. In both ScoutIQ and ScoutIQ 2, restriction status is shown while you scan, making it easier to spot items that may require approval before listing.
Depending on your sourcing strategy, you may choose to avoid restricted items altogether, or you may decide to purchase certain items and apply for approval later. In ScoutIQ 2, you can access Amazon’s approval workflow from within the app using the in-app approval link, which opens Seller Central so you can continue the approval process there.
Using Personalized Restriction Checks can help you make more informed sourcing decisions, avoid inventory you may not be able to sell right away, and reduce wasted time while scanning. Sellers may also choose to use ScoutIQ Wholesale Integrations as an alternative option for books that are restricted, rejected, or not worth listing on Amazon.
