  • Customer service and returns: Amazon provides customer service on your behalf and handles returns for FBA orders.
  • Opportunities to reach new customers: Programs such as FBA Subscribe & SaveFBA Small and LightMulti-Channel Fulfillment, and FBA Export can help you maximize sales and build customer loyalty.

How to use FBA

You can start using FBA by following these steps.

Step 1: Set up FBA. If you already have a Selling on Amazon account, add FBA to your account. If you don’t, set up your Amazon selling account first.

Step 2: Create your product listings. Add your products to the Amazon catalog one at a time, in bulk, or by integrating your inventory management software with Amazon’s API. To learn more, visit Product detail pages and offers and List products for Fulfillment by Amazon.

Step 3: Prepare your products: Proper preparation, packaging, and labeling can help ensure your products get transported safely and securely to the fulfillment center and made available quickly to customers.

Step 4: Ship your products to Amazon: Create your shipping plan, print Amazon shipment ID labels, and send your shipments to Amazon fulfillment centers. To learn more, visit Send FBA inventory to Amazon.

Once your products are received at the fulfillment center, they are available for customers to buy. For more information, see How Amazon receives and stores your inventory and Manage FBA orders.
