Transcription
You’re now ready and set up on your account for seller fulfilled prime, even if it’s just the trial for now. And here come your first orders. You will be notified in two ways for Amazon that you have seller fulfilled prime orders to ship via an email to the email js you have done in your settings for seller fulfilled prime orders, and on the homepage of your seller central account.
show moreLet’s look at how to fulfill these orders directly from the email notification first. You will receive an email when an order has been placed for one of your seller fulfilled prime items. Click the links at the bottom of the email to go to Seller Central. You can click the link under the print the packing slip hitter, and you can click the seller central link or the Merchant Fulfilled API link under the buy shipping which they say is optional.
Now, remember that your performance metrics for the shipping were 99% of your orders needed to be shipped using Amazon’s shipping. So when looking at the buy shipping and the optional word in brackets, Ignore that word optional because in order to maintain your performance metrics, you must buy shipping through Amazon for your seller fulfilled prime orders.
Clicking any of these links will bring you through to your manage orders page on Seller Central, and here you can click the print packing slip button. To the right of your order in order to print the packing slip, which goes in the carton for your order when you ship it off with a courier to the customer, and then you can click the buy shipping button to the right of your order as well in order to purchase and print shipping labels and purchase the shipping from Amazon using their courier.
Remember again that because this is seller fulfilled prime shipping, you want to buy the shipping all the time for every order in order to maintain your performance metrics and not have your seller fulfilled, prime suspended on your account or in order for you to pass the trial period.
Once you have packed the order and it is ready to ship. You can then click the confirmed shipment button alongside the order in question.
The shipping and tracking details will automatically be entered if you have purchased shipping from Amazon, which again, we recommend that you do in order to maintain your performance metrics for your seller fulfilled Prime orders. Note that when your seller fulfilled prime orders come through, there should be a little prime icon alongside your order so that you know this is the most important one to get out.
Given that you have same day, one day and two day shipping for prime. After you’ve confirmed the shipment, Amazon will charge the buyer, notify them that the order has shipped, and transfer the balance of the order payment to your seller central account after deducting their referral fee first.
