What if I'm not a Pro Merchant?

Profit Bandit has two modes: one for sellers with a Pro Merchant Amazon account and another for newer sellers that just have an Individual Seller account. After downloading Profit Bandit, you will be asked which kind of account you have, and then routed to the appropriate mode in the application.

You can also switch the app between Pro and Non-Pro modes at any time from the Settings screen.

Below you will find details on how to use the app if you are an Individual Seller without a Pro Merchant account.

The first screen you will see is the welcome screen:

  • The search field at the top can be used to type in keywords, ASINs and UPCs.
  • Tapping the barcode icon initially placed in the middle of the screen will open the scanner/camera app so that you may start scanning.
  • You can type your Buy Cost into the Buy $ text field in the bottom left corner. After a scan, the Sell $ text field is automatically populated based on the lowest price you set from Settings, but you can also manually input a different selling price.
  • The Profit/Loss displayed will show you the profit per item sold. Tapping on it will bring up a detailed breakdown of the item fees:

Once a product is scanned the following information will be displayed:

  • The top of the screen contains the title of the product, its image, its Sales Rank, its Weight, its category, and the AZ offer. If the title does not fully display itself on the application's main screen, you can tap it to reveal it in its entirety.
  • The offers are split into 3 columns representing FBA offers, New MFN offers and Used MFN offers. You can see the number of offers in the colored “column headers.”
  • The Amazon icon to the left of an offer that is highlighted brown indicates that this is Amazon’s offer price.
  • In the bottom part of the app, you can see your manually entered Buy Cost and your automatically generated Sell Price and Profit Calculation.

If you tap the cog icon in the bottom right, you’ll be taken to the General Settings menu, where you can configure the app to your liking, or contact our support team.
