ASIN

Amazon Standard Identification Number

Amazon's unique 10-character identifier for every product in the catalogue.

ExampleB07XJ8C8F5 is the ASIN for a specific Echo Dot generation. Every product page URL contains the ASIN.

The ASIN is your product's identity on Amazon. All sales, ad spend, reviews, ratings, ranks, and forecasts roll up to the ASIN level. A 'variation family' shares a parent ASIN with multiple child ASINs (sizes, colours).

Most reporting and optimisation work happens at the ASIN bucket. Account-level numbers hide what individual ASIN performance is doing - good or bad.
