Before you enable Rakuten.com Shopping, be sure you complete the steps in Setting up Rakuten.com Shopping

On the Settings tab, click Rakuten.com, and then click Enable Market.
Click Yes to confirm that there are no active listings on your seller account. If you have active listings, don't enable the market. Instead, follow the steps in Close existing Rakuten.com Shopping listings.
In the dialog box under Rakuten.com Login, enter your UserID and Password; under FTP Login, enter your FTP UserID and Password.
Click OK. Monsoon Marketplace uses account credentials to upload your inventory and download orders from the marketplace.

Login UserID is the email address you use to sign in to your Rakuten.com Shopping seller account.
Login Password is your seller account password.
FTP Login UserID is the User ID sent to you by MPIntegration@mail.rakuten.com.
FTP Login Password is the password sent to you by MPIntegration@mail.rakuten.com.

Note If you receive an error message after you enter your credentials, please contact Rakuten.com Shopping Tech Support, ask them to confirm your credentials, then re-enter those credentials in Monsoon.

Set your preferences in each of the following sections:

Name and Email: Enter the name and email address that you want to use for customer emails. Similar to Amazon customer communication requirements, the market (not Monsoon Marketplace) sends automatic shipping and cancellation emails.
Sell These Items: Set up listing rules for the items you want to sell. See Listing rule criteria.
Market Note: Enter a note to display in all of your listings.
Category/Condition Notes: Enter a note to display in listings that match a specific category and condition.
Pricing: Leave the default of 100 to match the Amazon US base price. If you enter a number greater or less than 100, an item will price greater or less than its Amazon base price.

Click OK to save.

Note An item must have a UPC or ISBN to list against the Rakuten.com Shopping catalog unless you have a configuration installed by Monsoon Support that maps one of your user data fields to a Rakuten.com Shopping SKU. If an item's UPC or ISBN doesn't match the catalog, the item's status moves to Upload Error. If an item doesn't have a UPC or ISBN but does have an ASIN, Monsoon Marketplace won't attempt to list the item and the item's status moves to Not Listed. When you later add a UPC or ISBN, your system uploads the item for listing.
