Amazon multi-store operation: why you need a separate proxy IP?
Sellers who have done Amazon multi-store know that the platform's detection of account association is extremely strict. The same computer, the same network environment to log in multiple accounts, light is limited flow, heavy is directly closed store. The core role of the proxy IP is to create a new account for each store.Separate network environment, allowing Amazon's system to determine that the accounts are from different real users.
There are many proxy IP service providers on the market, but the ones that are really suitable for Amazon must fulfill two conditions.IP purity(which has not been used by any other seller), and two.Authenticity of the network environment(Simulating the online behavior of real home users). For example, like ipipgo, a service provider specializing in residential agents, their IP directly from the global home broadband, each IP has a real physical address and operator information, this type of agent is the first choice for Amazon multi-store operations.
Three steps to building a pristine environment by hand
Step 1: Assign independent IPs according to the number of stores
Assuming you have 5 Amazon stores, you need to prepare 5 residential IPs for different regions. ipipgo's is recommended!Static Residential IPservice, each IP binding fixed geographic location, to avoid dynamic IP switching led to account anomalies.
Step 2: Isolate the browser environment
Even with a separate IP, browser fingerprints (time zone, language, resolution, etc.) may expose association risks. It is recommended to use a virtual machine or browser isolation tool (e.g. Multilogin) with a proxy IP, configured exclusively for each store:
- Browser cookies
- User-Agent
- screen resolution
Step 3: Regularly test IP health
Monthly with ipipgo offersIP Detection ToolScanning once, focusing on the view:
test item | Qualifying standards |
---|---|
DNS leak | Show proxy server location |
blacklisting record | Not tagged by Amazon |
Usage History | No traces of e-commerce platform usage |
Account protection must pay attention to the details
Many sellers are still blocked after using proxy IPs, and the problem often lies in these places:
1. Avoid cross zone logins
If the IP of a U.S. store is shown in New York today and becomes Los Angeles tomorrow, the platform will immediately trigger wind control. It is recommended to set up the ipipgo backgroundIP geolocation lockfeature to ensure that each connection is to the same city IP.
2. Handling the special needs of the payment chain
The credit card billing address must match the proxy IP location. For example, for a store registered with a German residential IP, the bound credit card should preferably be issued by a German bank, and the address should be filled in with the street corresponding to that IP (which can be obtained through ipipgo's IP belonging query function).
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I already use VPS, do I still need a proxy IP?
A: VPS can only solve the server problem, but the same VPS login multiple accounts will still be associated. The correct practice is to use a combination of VPS + independent proxy IP, each VPS corresponds to a store and an ipipgo residential IP.
Q: How can I check if my IP is pure enough?
A: Open the Amazon website and register a new account with this IP. If the registration process does not require video verification and you can normally receive the verification code through your cell phone number, it means that the IP quality is qualified. You can also use the IP provided by ipipgoIP Risk Assessment ReportServices.
Q: Can multiple stores share 1 IP?
A: Absolutely not! Even stores on different sites (e.g. US site and Japan site) must use different residential IPs as long as they are logged in on the same device. it is recommended to follow the1 store 1 IP 1 environmentPrinciples.
When choosing a proxy IP service, it is recommended to prioritize a service provider that focuses on residential proxies like ipipgo. Their IP inventory of more than 90 million can ensure that each store is allocated brand new resources, and the characteristics of the full protocol support are also perfectly adapted to a variety of store management tools, which is the real solution for long-term stable operation.
