A 15-Minute Daily Routine for Amazon Sellers

The program works overnight; you just decide in the morning#

There’s no need to run each feature by hand every day. Schedule a time and the program runs them in order; in the morning you read one page, Today’s Summary.

Seller Central home page

The Seller Central home page. Sales, orders, inventory and finance figures sit under separate tabs, so a morning check means clicking through several places. Figures are masked.

Setting up the daily run#

  • Pick a time (for example 08:10) under ‘Daily auto-run’ in the desktop program; it registers with Windows Task Scheduler (launchd on Mac).
  • The PC must be on at that time.
  • It runs home → action items → account health → all listings → FBA → orders → business → ads → listings → Buy Box → funnel → finance (weekly). Ad reports are requested first and waited on while the rest runs.
  • When it finishes, a desktop notification shows the most urgent item and the P0 and P1 counts.

Main window

The desktop program: tick features to run them in order, or see results right away in the Today’s Summary tab (the program’s screens are in Korean).

A 15-minute morning routine#

  1. Check the notification (1 min) — just see whether there is a P0.
  2. Handle P0 (5 min) — things for today, like a policy violation or a stock-out while selling. The summary’s ‘how’ column has the menu path.
  3. Scan P1 (5 min) — Buy Box, reimbursement deadlines, low stock; decide what to do this week.
  4. L1 ad suggestions (4 min) — apply only the reversible ones, like negatives and small bid changes, in the Ads console.
