Channel Configuration

Understanding of Amazon Flows and Regions

Before configuration on our system, we want to help you understand Amazon flows and regions. When you search for Amazon in the marketplace list, you will see multiple Amazon options. This is because Amazon supports two different fulfillment flows and operates across three major global regions.

Amazon Fulfillment Flows

Amazon offers two fulfillment methods:

  1. Shipped by Marketplace: Orders are processed by the seller and shipped via Amazon Logistics
  2. Self Ship/Self Delivery: Sellers handle the entire order processing & shipping themselves.

Both fulfillment flows are available in our system for all Amazon regions.

Amazon Global Regions And Mapping with Fynd

Amazon operates across three primary regions:

  1. Amazon EU (Europe): Ireland, Spain, UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Sweden, South Africa, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, and India.
  2. Amazon US (North America): Canada, United States, Mexico, and Brazil.
  3. Amazon FEA (Far East Asia): Singapore, Australia, and Japan.

Steps to configure the Amazon channel in Fynd Konnect

Raising Request for getting channel location id from Amazon team

The brand must coordinate with its Amazon Key Account Manager to get onboarded into either Multi-Location Fulfillment (MLF) or Seller Flex, depending on the business model. As part of this onboarding, Amazon will provide the Location IDs and Channel Location IDs for each of the seller's physical warehouses or store locations. These IDs are mandatory for configuring channels and locations in Fynd Konnect.
