Fix “Brand name doesn't match registered brand” on Amazon

The brand value in the feed doesn't match what's registered for the ASIN in Amazon Brand Registry. For brand-registered ASINs, only the brand owner can edit canonical brand data — other sellers must match.

What you see in Amazon:

Brand name doesn't match registered brand

Brand-registered ASINs lock canonical brand to the registered string. Reseller catalogs declaring different brand strings get rejected.

Match exactly: case, punctuation, spacing all matter. 'Acme' and 'Acme Goods' are different strings.

Top causes

  • 1

    Reseller using their own brand name for a manufacturer-registered ASIN

  • 2

    Brand name spelled or formatted differently than the registered version

  • 3

    Listing pre-dates Brand Registry registration; brand owner has now claimed the canonical name

How to fix it

  1. 1

    Identify the canonical brand

    Open the ASIN in Amazon's frontend. The brand shown there is the registered canonical.

  2. 2

    Match exactly

    Case, punctuation, and spacing all matter. 'Acme' and 'ACME' and 'Acme Goods' are different brand strings.

  3. 3

    Update through Seller Central

    Edit the listing and submit the matching brand value.

FAQ

Can I change the canonical brand?

Only brand owners can. As a reseller, you must match — not change.
