Get Primed.
As part of ShineOn Pro you'll get access to our FBA (Fulfillment By Amazon) program and can have your orders serviced by Amazon's world-class fulfilment. FBA allows your products to join the popular Amazon Prime program and increase your sales through better visability on Amazon.
In order to have your products fulfilled by Amazon, you'll need to place bulk orders (in multiples of 20) to Amazon at base cost. They will then stock them in their warehouses and fulfill orders for you.
The cost of products remain the same, as do their production timescales. There will be no shipping cost charged from ShineOn as Amazon provides the shipping labels.
Orders also go out in the same time frame (3-5 days) and we will do all the prep work for you, so no need to send to a prepper.
All of this is managed from within the Partners/API selling channel where you can find the FBA portal.
The portal can provide information to you such as how many boxes, the box dimensions, weight etc so you can get shipping labels from Amazon, and then upload them to us along with the product barcodes (FNSKU).
Note that FBA orders are an advanced topic. This guide assumes you already have completed the FBA set up process on Amazon's side and have access to FNSKU's for the products you wish to sell.
If you have yet to make any sales or scale any products successfully, we recommend sticking with our other sales channels for now.
