MAP monitoring · Seller visibility

See every offer, and know how much you saw.

Monitoring is only useful if you can trust what it did not find. When Amazon connectivity is enabled for your workspace, MapProtector records every offer it sees with a timestamp and how complete the check was — and never reads an absence as compliance.

A scheduled check every day

Each listing you protect is checked at the times you choose — once a day on Starter, twice a day on Growth and Professional — across the Amazon marketplaces enabled for your workspace. Each check records the offers as they were: price, seller, condition, fulfillment and whether the offer held the Buy Box.

  • Daily times in your timezone; an on-demand check for a listing you are watching closely
  • Every figure carries its currency; nothing is silently converted
  • A history per product, so you can see when a listing was last checked

How complete each check was, stated on every finding

A check that could not see the whole listing says so. Every below-MAP finding is shown beside the completeness of the check it came from, and a finding from an incomplete check is never presented as settled.

  • Full, partial, insufficient and unknown, each explained in words
  • A partial check never hides a below-policy price that was seen; it only limits what an absence means
  • An incomplete check never proves compliance, and never closes a case

Sellers, identified — and classified by you

Seller information is recorded for every observed offer. Declare your Authorized Network and MapProtector shows which observed sellers are partners; a seller that matches nothing is unknown until your team records a standing — authorized, unauthorized, your own storefront, exempt — with a reason. The standing is shown beside each finding rather than folded into it, because an authorized distributor below MAP is a different conversation from an unknown storefront below MAP.

  • Unknown is never presumed unauthorized; nothing infers a relationship from a name or a price
  • A seller’s history across every product and every breach, including whether they have corrected and relapsed before
  • Repeat sellers surfaced in the queue, not buried in a list

Policies that are dated, and promotions that are approved

A MAP policy applies from a date, for a brand, a product group or one product on a marketplace. Promotions lower the floor for a window a Brand Admin approves and revert by themselves; exceptions exempt a seller or a scope, or let it be measured but never enforced. A finding is always measured against the policy that applied when the price was seen.

  • Dated policy changes — an old finding keeps the policy of its day, and history is never rewritten
  • Tolerance in money or percent; rules for shipping, coupons, cart-only prices and out-of-stock offers
  • Exceptions by seller, seller-and-product, product, group or brand, recorded with a reason

Proving what you saw.

A finding is a measurement. Evidence is what makes it defensible.
