# 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 "Configure" from the "Manage" button.

Accounts successfully enabled will display an enabled toggle under the advertising column. To verify the status change, reload the accounts page.
