Getting Started with Active FBA Enrolment: A Step-by-Step Guide
Before you get started you'll need to create a retailer account and enrol into our FBA Enrolment program.
TIP! Selling on Amazon can be complex, particularly for new sellers. It's crucial to familiarise yourself with the intricacies of the platform. You will need to list at least one product on Amazon before moving on to any of the steps shown below.
Setting things up correctly
Before converting products to FBA, it's essential to ensure that the Barcode Preference is set to Amazon Barcode (not manufacturer barcode). You can easily configure this default setting within your Fulfilment by Amazon Settings. Go to Settings → Fulfilment by Amazon and update the FBA Product Barcode Preference to Amazon Barcode.
Converting products to Fulfillment by Amazon
You have two options for converting your existing products to FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon). Both options are actioned via the Manage Inventory screen within your Amazon Seller Central account.
Option 1: Convert to Fulfilled by Amazon
This option converts your current FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant) product into an FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) eligible product. The FBM listing will become inactive until Amazon receives your FBA inventory at their warehouse.
To proceed with this option:
- Select one or more product(s) that you want to convert to FBA.
- Click Action on X selected located at the top-left.
- Choose Convert to Fulfilled by Amazon.
- Fill any required information, such as dangerous goods information.
- Click List as FBA.
- Wait 15 minutes before proceeding to Step 1 below.
Option 2: Add another condition
This option creates a duplicate of your current FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant) product and creates a brand new FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) eligible offer for the same product. The original FBM listing will remain active. This method is recommended if you'd like to be able to continue to sell a product in the event that you run out of inventory for your FBA offer.
To proceed with this option:
- Select a single product that you want to convert to FBA.
- Click Edit located on the far-right hand side.
- Choose Add another condition.
- Fill any required information. The new product will typically require:
- A new SKU
- Price
- Condition type (set as "New")
- Choose Amazon will dispatch and provide customer service to indicate that the product will be Fulfilled by Amazon.
- Click Save and Finish.
- Wait 15 minutes before proceeding to Step 1 below.
Why do I have to wait 15 minutes?
Amazon's systems need time to process and update changes that you make to your products. For this reason you'll often find that your newly enrolled FBA products won't be available for selection immediately after converting them to FBA. Simply wait about 15 minutes and everything will be fine.
Step 1: Send to Amazon Workflow
Now it's time to initiate the process of sending your inventory to Amazon. Go to the Send to Amazon screen. This will open the FBA Shipment workflow.
When creating your shipment, ensure that you use the correct Ship from address as shown below:

IMPORTANT! It's essential to provide accurate and complete address information.
TIP! Verify that the Marketplace destination is set correctly to the country where you want your products stored. If you're sending inventory to a destination outside of the United Kingdom, please contact us for a shipping cost quotation before proceeding.
Sending a product to Amazon for the first-time
If you're sending a new product to Amazon for the first time, you'll need to set the prep category.
- Select one or more product(s) that require the prep category to be set.
- Click Set prep category.
- Choose No prep needed.
- Click Save to apply the settings.
TIP! Keep in mind that you only need to set the prep category one-time per product. Amazon will remember your settings for all future shipments of the same products.
Input your desired Quantity to Send
You need to tell Amazon how many individual units of each product that you intend to ship. Do this by inputting your desired amount into the Quantity to send box.
After inputting the desired quantity to send, click Ready to pack alongside each product. The Ready to pack button will only appear after you have entered a value into the Quantity to send box.
