# Enable or Disable Products for Amazon

## Overview

The Product Status **Enabled for Amazon** is responsible for the automatic inventory and price updates Sellercloud sends to Amazon. All your merchant-fulfilled products created under an Amazon-Enabled Company have an [Amazon Properties Page](https://descartessystems.aha.io/pages/7630832507734110639) where you can see and edit this status. If the **Allow Inventory Update** and **Allow Price Update (Regular)** boxes are checked on that page, Sellercloud will regularly send information for all enabled SKUs to Amazon.

When you enable a product for Amazon, you allow Sellercloud to pick it up for automatic updates. If you disable a product that has been enabled for a while, Sellercloud will send one last update with 0 available quantity and then stop. This is useful if you prefer to manage your inventory directly on Amazon or use other connected software. Re-enabling a product restarts inventory updates from Sellercloud.

See [Manage Inventory Levels on Amazon](https://descartessystems.aha.io/pages/7630833064091352425) for more information on customizing this workflow.
