SKUBrite Help Center

SKUBrite helps Amazon sellers identify which products from a supplier's catalog are already selling on Amazon — and whether the margins make sense to stock them. Instead of manually searching each product, SKUBrite matches thousands of supplier SKUs against the Amazon catalog in minutes, scores each match by confidence, and surfaces the best opportunities.

Creating Your Account

1. Go to skubrite.com and click Start Free Trial.
2. Enter your name, email address, and a password (minimum 8 characters).
3. You will receive a confirmation email — click the link to verify your address.
4. Sign in to the SKUBrite app at app.skubrite.com.

Connecting Your Amazon SP-API Credentials

SKUBrite connects to Amazon's Selling Partner API (SP-API) to retrieve live product data, fee estimates, and competitive pricing. This requires a one-time setup in your Amazon Seller Central account.

Why is this required?

SP-API is Amazon's official data access system. Without it, SKUBrite can still match products by UPC, but cannot pull live Amazon data such as the current Buy Box price, FBA fees, or product dimensions. Connecting SP-API gives you much richer, more accurate results.

Step-by-step setup

1. In SKUBrite, go to Settings in the left sidebar.
2. Click How SP-API Credentials Work to expand the setup guide.
3. Log in to sellercentral.amazon.com and navigate to Apps & Services → Develop Apps.
4. Create a new app or select your existing developer profile. Note your Client ID and Client Secret.
5. Under IAM, create an IAM user with the AmazonSPAPIRole policy. Copy the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.
6. Go to Authorize an Application in Seller Central and generate your Refresh Token.
7. Paste all five values into the Settings page in SKUBrite and click Save Settings.
8. Click Test Connection to confirm the credentials work.

The Dashboard is the first screen you see after signing in. It shows all your match jobs, their current status, and summary metrics so you can quickly see where opportunities are.

KPI Cards

At the top of the Dashboard are four summary cards showing aggregate numbers across all your jobs:

Job List

Below the KPIs is your list of all jobs, newest first. Each row shows:

• Job name — the supplier file name or custom name you gave it
• Status badge — PENDING, RUNNING, DONE, or FAILED
• SKU count — how many products were in the file
• Match rate — percentage matched for that job
• Date created

Click any row to jump directly to that job's results. Jobs with a FAILED badge will show error details — usually an issue with the supplier file format.

Column Mapping & File Preparation

SKUBrite accepts supplier catalogs in CSV, TSV, or Excel (.xlsx) format. The file should contain at least these columns:

Creating a New Job

1. Click New Job in the left sidebar.
2. Drag and drop your supplier file onto the upload area, or click to browse.
3. SKUBrite detects the file format automatically. You will see a column mapping preview.
4. Review the detected column mapping. If a column was not detected correctly, use the dropdown to select the right one from your file's headers.
5. Configure the job options (see below).
6. Click Launch Job.

Job Configuration Options

Monitoring a Running Job

Once launched, click Live Job in the sidebar to watch the job in real time. You will see:

• A progress bar showing how many SKUs have been processed
• Running totals for matched, unmatched, and skipped products
• Live log entries for each product as it is processed
• Estimated time remaining

Larger files take proportionally longer — 10,000 SKUs runs for about 80 minutes; 25,000 SKUs takes roughly 3–3.5 hours. You can safely close the browser and come back at any time — the job continues on the server.

The Match Confidence Score

Every matched product receives a confidence score from 0 to 100. This score reflects how certain SKUBrite is that your supplier's product and the Amazon listing are the same item. It combines:

• UPC match — exact barcode match is the strongest signal (contributes ~50 points)
• Title similarity — how closely the product names match (up to ~25 points)
• Image similarity — visual comparison of product photos (up to ~15 points)
• Brand match — whether the brands match (up to ~10 points)

Result Columns Explained

Filtering and Searching Results

Use the filter bar above the results table to narrow down opportunities:

• Search box — searches supplier SKU, title, ASIN, and brand simultaneously
• Min Confidence — slider to hide results below a confidence threshold
• Match tier buttons — toggle Exact / Strong / Good / Weak / Unmatched
• Hide Amazon-sold — filters out products where Amazon holds the Buy Box

Exporting Results

Click Export Excel at the top of the results page to download a fully formatted .xlsx file. The export includes all matched and unmatched products with all columns, plus a summary tab. Use this for:

• Sharing opportunities with your team or buyer
• Importing into your repricer or inventory management system
• Archiving a supplier's catalog for future reference

Expanding a Result Row

Click any result row to expand it and see the full detail panel, which shows:

• Side-by-side supplier vs. Amazon product images (full size)
• Complete product attributes from both sources
• All match signal scores broken down individually
• A link to the Amazon listing
• Live Fee & Competitor Analysis (see next section)

After matching products, the most important question is: if I sell this on Amazon, what will my margin be? Live Analysis answers this by pulling live data from Amazon's Selling Partner API on demand.

How to Run a Live Analysis

1. Go to Results and click any matched product row to expand it.
2. Scroll to the Live Fee & Competitor Analysis section at the bottom of the detail panel.
3. Enter or confirm the listing price you plan to sell at.
4. Click Fetch Live Data.
5. Within a few seconds, three result cards appear: FBA Fees, FBM Fees, and Competitor Pricing.

FBA Fees

Shows the full cost of selling through Fulfillment by Amazon at your entered price:

• Referral fee — Amazon's commission (typically 8–15% of sale price depending on category)
• FBA fulfillment fee — pick, pack, and ship cost based on product size and weight
• Total fees — combined cost
• Net after fees — what you receive after Amazon takes its cut

Subtract your supplier cost from Net after fees to get your gross profit per unit.

FBM Fees

Shows fees for Fulfilled by Merchant (you ship the order yourself). For FBM you only pay the referral fee — no fulfillment fee — but you carry the shipping cost yourself. Useful for large/heavy items where FBA fees would eliminate the margin.

Competitor Pricing

Shows all current "New" condition offers from other sellers on this ASIN:

• Landed prices (item + shipping) for each offer
• Whether any offer belongs to your own account
• Total number of active New offers

This helps you understand the competitive landscape before committing to a purchase order. Fewer sellers and a stable price are positive signals.

The Account page has two tabs: Profile & Security and Plan & Billing.

Profile & Security

Update your name, company, email address, phone, address, and website at any time. These details are stored in SKUBrite only and are never sent to Amazon.

To change your password, scroll to the Change Password card, enter your current password and your new password (minimum 8 characters), and click Update Password. Your session stays active after the change.

Plan & Billing

The Plan & Billing tab shows:

• Your current plan name and status (Active, Trial, Expired)
• Subscription billing period (Monthly or Annual), amount, and next billing date
• A Manage / Cancel Subscription link that takes you to your WooCommerce subscription portal where you can cancel, pause, or change your payment method
• Full payment and invoice history

Changing or Upgrading Your Plan

1. Click Change Plan on the Plan & Billing tab (or in the upgrade prompt).
2. Select the billing period — Monthly or Annual (annual saves approximately 17%).
3. Click Select Plan on the plan you want.
4. You will be redirected to the secure checkout. Complete payment to activate your new plan immediately.

Plans that include team seats allow you to invite other users in your organisation to access the same SKUBrite account. Team members can run jobs and view results — they share your plan's SKU quota.

Inviting a Team Member

1. Click Team in the left sidebar (only visible on plans with seats).
2. Enter the team member's email address and click Invite.
3. They will receive an invitation email. When they accept, they appear in your team list.
4. You can remove a team member at any time by clicking the remove button next to their name.

The Settings page stores your Amazon SP-API credentials and controls a few platform preferences. These credentials are encrypted at rest and never shared with any third party.

SP-API Credentials

Testing Your Connection

After saving your credentials, click Test SP-API Connection. SKUBrite will make a lightweight API call to verify the credentials are valid and your account has the required permissions. A green confirmation message means you are ready to go.
