What is item_type while selling on Amazon?
Amazon uses values supplied by sellers to determine where listings are visible on Amazon.com (e.g., Men’s Dress Shirts). If a seller does not provide a browse node, then Amazon will assign the product to the root node (the broadest or most general node) for the category (e.g., Clothing).
These products tend to perform less well because customers have difficulty finding and comparing them to other listings. Supplying values in item_type field help to better categorize your products enhancing the search results while selling on Amazon.
Where to find the value for item_type?
The values for item_type can be found on Browse Tree Guide table.
For Example “item_type_keyword:hand-towels” indicates that the term “hand-towels” should be added to the “item_type_keyword” field in inventory template.
