Introduction

In this demo, we are going to show you how to create your first Amazon FBA shipment. Once you

have your inventory listed, you will be able to create your first shipment.

When you first register with Amazon webstore, we provide you a default URL.For example, your default URL might be mystore.hostedbywebstore.com.You can continue using the default URL or you can also purchase your owndomain. In this demo, we will:-

1. Purchase your domain name.

2. Set up your DNS service to point to your Amazon webstore.

3. Configure your domain name in seller central.

Let’s Start

Begin by signing in to your seller account and going to the All Inventory View.

Select the listing you would like Amazon to fulfill by checking the boxes next to the Merchant SKU, select “Convert to Fulfillment by Amazon”, and click “Go” button.

Since this is the first time you have create a shipment, we will ask you if you would like to configure your account for sticker less, commingled inventory.

If you click “Accept Sticker less” you will be able to send qualifying inventory to our fulfilment centers without labeling them.

Stickerless Inventory will be commingled with other inventory that Amazon or other sellers have of the same kind and condition.

When someone purchase an item from your inventory we won’t distinguish you inventory from that of other sellers. This helps us to process customers orders efficiently.

For media and other inventory that does no quality as Stickerless, you can label units using the FBA labels created when you work on your shipment.

If you click “Decline Stickerless” you will be able to send inventory after you have labeled each individual unit with FBA labels.

Begin by signing in to your seller account and going to the All Inventory View.

The next step in creating your shipment is confirming the items you want to have fulfilled by Amazon. Review the items listed, and if you see any that you don’t want to convert at this time, tick “Mark for Removal”.

If you click “Convert Only” you will return to your All Inventory View and you can add these items t a shipment at a later time. Since we are creating your first shipment, click “Convert & Send Inventory”. You can add more items to this shipment after it’s been created.

For some items, you will be required to enter the package dimensions. This typically is required for items that have never ben shipped from our fulfillment centers. The package dimensions will help identify the proper fulfilment center to ship your inventory to. After entering the dimensions, click “Save & Continue”.

You will return to the previous window to complete the process for converting these items to be fulfilled by Amazon. Click “Convert & Send Inventory”.

Not all items are suitable for Fulfilment by Amazon. On the next screenyou'll see a general list of product restrictions. Please read throughthis list carefully to make sure that your inventory is suitable forFulfilment by Amazon. If you aren't sure, click the “Learn More” linkand read the detailed product restrictions and packagingrequirements. By continuing you are acknowledging that your itemsmeet these requirements.

On the next screen you will provide an address that you will be shipping from. Once you enter an address, it will be saved in your seller account for future use. You can edit the address or add additional addresses if you have multiple locations that you ship from. The address you enter will be considered when selecting a fulfillment center to ship to

Next, indicate whether the items you are shipping are individual items or case packed items.

You are now ready to create your shipment. In the left blue box is theID and location the fulfillment center where you can ship yourinventory. You will be able to print shipping label later in theshipping workflow

We create a default Shipment ID for your shipment using the date and time. You can edit the shipment name using numbers or words that you find easy to track.

In some cases, you will need to split your inventory into multiple shipments.

When you click “Save & Continue”, your Shipment ID will be saved and you will receive a confirmation that your shipment have been successfully created.

The shipping workflow will walk you through each step of the process and provide tips and links to help topics that will answer your questions along the way.
