Multi-region ads

The Amazon Advertising API is per-region: NA, EU, and FE each have their own Ads accounts, their own consent flows, and their own data. Hilal preserves that separation while giving you a unified campaign manager.

In this guide:

  • Understand region scoping
  • See which regions are connected
  • Persist your region selection
  • Disconnect a region

How regions work

Amazon Advertising operates across five regions, each with separate authorization and data:

  • North America Region — US, CA, MX, BR
  • Europe Region — UK, DE, FR, IT, ES, NL, etc.
  • Far East Region — JP, AU, SG, etc.
  • Middle East & Africa Region — AE, SA, ZA, etc.
  • India Region — IN

Connecting one region doesn’t grant access to another; you need to authorize each separately. See Connect Amazon Ads.

Step 1: See which regions are connected

Go to Settings → Amazon Accounts.

Each region card shows a connection status badge:

  • Connected — authorization is active and data is syncing
  • Fetching data from Amazon — marketplace onboarding is in progress
  • Connection Error — authorization failed or expired; reconnect required
  • Not connected yet — no authorization has been set up for this region

Below the status, you’ll see marketplace toggles for each marketplace within that region.

Step 2: Manage region scope in Campaign Manager

ℹ️
Region filtering in the Campaign Manager is configured via the Settings → Amazon Accounts page. All connected regions appear in the campaign list by default; use other filters (Status, Ad Type, Portfolio, etc.) to narrow your view.

Step 3: Disconnect a region

To disconnect a region (e.g., you stopped advertising in EU), scroll to the bottom of the region card and click Disconnect region.

⚠️
Disconnecting a region will permanently delete its campaign data after approximately 30 days. Some data may be unrecoverable if you do not reconnect within this window.

Hilal:

  • Revokes Amazon’s OAuth grant.
  • Stops syncing campaign data from that region.
  • Retains data for ~30 days — after which the data is permanently deleted.

Disconnecting one region doesn’t affect the others.

Step 4: Reconnect later

If you reconnect within the 30-day window, some of your historical campaign data may be preserved. However, complete recovery is not guaranteed.

Marketplace selection within a region

When you connect or reconnect a region, Hilal asks which marketplaces within that region you want managed. To change this later, open the region card on Settings → Amazon Accounts.

Each marketplace has an inline toggle switch:

⚠️
Unchecking a marketplace disables data sync and will delete that marketplace’s data after approximately 30 days. This is not a temporary filter — it’s a permanent data-management action.

Only enable marketplaces you actively manage in that region. If you sell in DE and FR but not in IT or ES, leave IT and ES disabled to prevent data accumulation.

Troubleshooting

  • One region shows “Connection Error”. The authorization token expired or was revoked. Go to Settings → Amazon Accounts and click Connect Ads to re-authorize.
  • Campaigns from one marketplace are missing. Check if the marketplace is enabled in Settings → Amazon Accounts. Click the toggle to enable it.
  • I see campaigns from a region I disconnected. Disconnect kept the historical data for 30 days. To avoid seeing it in Campaign Manager, untick the marketplaces for that region during the 30-day window.
