# Enabling accounts for advertising
While the API connection enables data population in the app databases, to display data for advertising accounts associated with your logged Amazon account, it is necessary to activate each account for advertising so that data can be indexed. Follow the steps below to enable accounts for advertising:
* [x] Visit the "Accounts" page in the manager.
* [x] [Select the account(s)](/getting-started/navigating-the-app/selecting-accounts.md) you wish to enable for advertising from the list, using the checkboxes to the left.
* [x] In the actions bar, choose "Update custom fields" from the "Actions/Edit" button.
* [x] In the advertising section, tick the boxes for "Update Advertising" and "Advertising," then apply your changes using the button in the lower right corner.
Accounts successfully enabled will display a "True" status under the advertising column. To verify the status change, reload the accounts page.
{% hint style="info" %}
This is a beta feature which will be deprecated once the account management system is completed.
{% endhint %}
