Configure product SKUs

Stock keeping units (SKU) are merchant-defined codes that uniquely identify products in a warehouse. It is critical that the SKUs defined in Amazon Marketplace are identical to the SKUs loaded into the warehouse management system.

Gather shipping methods

As part of the third-party fulfillment setup, the shipping methods offered in the eCommerce system must be mapped to the corresponding shipping codes used by the fulfillment provider.

Gather API credentials

Accepted Carrier Names for Shipment Confirmations

When a shipment confirmation is sent to Amazon, the Carrier Name must be one of the values listed. If necessary, the carrier name can be coerced to one of the accepted values using a shipment.notification rule created with the advanced rule editor.

PackageBee supports Seller Fulfilled Prime (SFP). The integration accepts tags from Amazon that designate orders as SFP, and maps that field to your warehouse management system.
