THE BASICS: FULFILLMENT BY AMAZON
Once you’ve established your businesses Amazon
Seller account, you’ll be able to sign up for Amazon’s
all-in-one picking, packing, and shipping solution –
Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA). Built to be used and
crafted to be accessible, the FBA process can be
broken down into six simple steps.
Step 1: Register as an Amazon Seller – Like we’ve mentioned already, an Amazon
Seller account is a requirement for FBA services.
Step 2: Create Your Product Listings – This can be done in one of three ways: In
bulk, by integrating your inventory-management software with Amazon’s API, or by
manually adding one product at a time.
Step 3: Prepare Products to Send to Amazon’s Fulfillment Centers – Ensure that
your supplement products have been packaged, labeled, and prepped for
transportation to Amazon’s facilities and into the hands of your customers via the
specifications provided by Amazon.
Step 4: Ship Products to an Amazon Fulfilment Center - During this step shipping
plans are established and businesses are able to track the status of their products.
Step 5: Your Product Is Eligible for Purchase on Amazon – Once a customer has
purchased your product, Amazon will handle picking, packing, and shipping.
Step 6: Amazon Provides Customer Support For Your Products - For sales of
your product that are completed through Amazon, your customers will be able to
work with an Amazon customer service specialist 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
