Settings Setup Tutorial

‍

Goal: Learn how to correctly set up your Quick and Advanced Settings in ZIK Analytics to ensure accurate, personalized product research results tailored to your business.

‍

✅ Insight: Proper settings ensure every tool in ZIK — from Product Research to Item Finder — delivers data that truly matches your selling marketplace, supplier, and pricing structure.

‍

1. Quick Settings

‍

These should always be set before doing product research.

‍

• Marketplace:
  ‍
  Choose the eBay site you sell on (e.g., ebay.com, ebay.co.uk, etc.).
  ‍
• Shipping Location:
  ‍
  Select the country you ship from.
  ‍
  • Amazon.com / Walmart.com → United States
    ‍
  • Amazon.co.uk → United Kingdom
    ‍
  • AliExpress → China
    ‍
• Source Website:
  ‍
  Pick your supplier — Amazon, AliExpress, or Walmart.
  ‍
  This ensures ZIK prioritizes the right data and matches from your chosen supplier.
  ‍
• Breakeven Calculation:
  ‍
  Set your breakeven percentage to cover eBay fees, taxes, and conversion costs.
  ‍
  Typical range: 14%–18% (use 16% as a baseline).
  ‍

Click Apply Changes once done.
‍

2. Advanced Settings
