Learn more about Amazon FBA and how to integrate it with your eCommerce business.
What is Amazon FBA?
Fulfillment by Amazon is a service that allows you to store, pack, and ship at Amazon’s warehouse. Amazon FBA provides flexibility for sellers while reducing the hassle of shipping. With Amazon FBA, the seller stores its merchandise in an Amazon warehouse and the items ship through an Amazon fulfillment center. Once an order is made, the Amazon employees prepare, pack, and ship the products directly from the Amazon fulfillment center. For existing Amazon sellers, Amazon FBA is a simple process that makes selling on Amazon much easier. The basic steps for Amazon FBA are:
- Add FBA to your Amazon selling account
- Add product listings to your Amazon catalog. You can manually add individual or bulk products, or you can integrate an inventory-management software with Amazon’s API.
- Prepare your products for safe shipping through Amazon FBA. A guide for how to prepare products can be found HERE.
- Send your products to Amazon fulfillment centers.
- When customers order your products, Amazon handles the entire fulfillment. Your customers get quick, efficient shipping with tracking information.
- Amazon also handles customer support for the products you sell. Focus on your daily business tasks while Amazon handles the inquiries, refunds, and returns.
How Amazon FBA Will Help You Grow Your Business
Amazon FBA is a powerful tool that will help your business in many ways. Amazon is a huge eCommerce channel, and selling on Amazon with Amazon FBA exposes your brand to the existing Amazon customers. Using Amazon FBA makes your brand available to Amazon Prime buyers, who spend nearly double the money on Amazon as non-prime customers.
Typically, fulfillment and shipping logistics are time-consuming and filled with headaches. Amazon FBA simplifies the logistics of shipping. With FBA, you outsource the fulfillment and shipping process which means you do not have added stress and complications with shipping as your business grows. Amazon also gets reduced shipping fees because of its relationship with shipping companies. With Amazon FBA, you will pay less in shipping than if you delivered the items yourself. FBA also ensures standardized shipping because items are always prepared, packed, and shipped the same way.
Amazon FBA is also beneficial for multi-channel fulfillment. Amazon FBA can fulfill and ship inventory sold on multiple channels, not just through Amazon’s marketplace. Sellers can even feature the item on their websites and ship through Amazon FBA. Overall, Amazon FBA will help you scale your business. Using FBA frees up your time and simplifies the shipping process, so you can scale quickly without being overwhelmed with shipping.
