A SellerLegend Beginner's Guide - Recommended First Steps ​

Overview ​

Welcome to SellerLegend! This guide outlines the recommended first steps after onboarding to help you get the most value from the platform as quickly as possible.

1. Set Up Your Cost of Goods (COGS) ​

Setting up COGS is the single most important step for accurate profit calculations. Without COGS data, your profit and margin figures will be incomplete.

2. Switch Marketplaces ​

If you sell on multiple Amazon marketplaces, use the marketplace switcher in the top navigation to view data for each marketplace. This ensures you are seeing the complete picture of your business.

3. Visit the Statistics Dashboard ​

The Statistics Dashboard provides a daily overview of your key business metrics. Make it part of your daily routine to check sales, orders, and performance trends.

4. Configure Notifications ​

Set up notifications so you are alerted to important events like low inventory, listing changes, or sales milestones.

5. Explore the Products List ​

The Products List is your central hub for managing product-level data. Browse your catalog, set internal names, assign tags and product groups, and review per-product metrics.

6. Check Profit & Loss ​

Once COGS are configured, visit the Profit & Loss screen to review your actual profitability by product, marketplace, or time period.

7. Set Up PPC Connection ​

Connect your Amazon Advertising account to SellerLegend to view PPC data alongside your organic sales and profitability metrics.

Key Points ​

  • Completing COGS setup first ensures all subsequent profit calculations are meaningful
  • Data syncing begins as soon as you connect your account -- some historical data may take a few hours to appear
  • Explore each section at your own pace, but prioritize COGS and PPC connection for the most impactful insights
