Settings & profile

The Profile page (top-right menu) collects account and connection settings, in four tabs — General, Amazon connection, Billing and Account:

General

Skip paused and archived campaigns (on by default), plus the maximum bid MerchDash may write, per ad product and per targeting type. The first is described below; the second has its own page, Bid limits.

Skip paused and archived campaigns

A FOR EACH loop iterates whatever Amazon reported in the rule's window. A campaign you paused part-way through that window still reported for the days before it, so its keywords, targets, ad groups, ASINs and search terms keep turning up in rules long after the campaign stopped spending. With this setting on they're left out, so a run's work goes to the campaigns that can actually spend.

It never silences a rule that is about paused campaigns. Two kinds of loop keep them automatically:

• A loop that can run enable() or setState() — a rule written to switch campaigns back on has to be able to see them.
• A loop that reads campaign state itself, in any spelling (campaign.state, keyword.campaignState, target.campaign.state, or the hop bound to a variable first with LET campaign = keyword.campaign). You've already said what you want; the setting stays out of the way.

Archived campaigns are always skipped, whatever this setting says and whatever the rule does. Archiving is final on Amazon's side: every change written into an archived campaign is rejected, so those rows can only ever become failures in your run history. Switching this setting off therefore brings back paused campaigns only.

One rule can override the setting for itself with a comment above its loop — # INCLUDE PAUSED CAMPAIGNS to act on them anyway, # EXCLUDE PAUSED CAMPAIGNS to skip them even with the setting off. Like the zero-impressions directive, it applies to every loop below it until another overrides it. Turn on Debug mode in the editor to see, per loop, which states were skipped and why.

Maximum bid

The highest bid MerchDash will ever write to Amazon. Anything above it — a manual bid edit, a bulk action, an automation rule — is written at that value instead and marked adjusted in your history. It only caps bids, never raises them, and it’s blank by default, meaning no maximum of your own.

You set one maximum per ad product — Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Display — and a single targeting type under a product can be held tighter than the rest. Full details, including the parent/child rules and how it meets Amazon’s own limits, are on Bid limits.

Amazon connection

• Manager account & profiles — see what is connected and reconnect if Amazon access is revoked.
• Synced marketplaces — choose which advertiser profiles MerchDash keeps synced; syncing can be paused per marketplace.
• Linked accounts — connect a second Amazon Ads account and work across both as one merged view (see Connect Amazon).

Billing

Your plan, included managed ad spend, and usage — see Plans & billing. During the open beta everything is free.

Account

• Newsletter — product updates and the occasional newsletter. Switch it on or off any time; the switch saves itself. Turning it off never affects the emails your account needs, such as sign-in and account notices.
• Email — the address your account signs in with, and where the newsletter is sent.
• Community library name — the pseudonym shown on the scripts you publish to the community library. Renaming yourself renames you on everything you have already shared; your email is never shown there.
• Delete MerchDash account — permanent, and removes your login, your synced data, and every automation rule you have.
