What is Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)?

Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) is an all-in-one solution to sell your products to Amazon customers. When you become an Amazon seller and use FBA, all you need to do is send your products to Amazon Fulfillment Centers. The rest is on us. We store your products, and when a customer places an order, we take care of packing, shipping, and delivering the product to the customer’s doorstep. The FBA also gives your products the Prime Badge and offers same-day or next-day delivery for eligible customers. We also handle returns and customer support queries for you.

Amazon jargon:

Fulfillment Center

Fulfillment Centers are integral to Amazon's advanced, global fulfillment network that lets you store your products safely with us. Fulfilment Centers store your products, which are then packed and shipped to your customers upon the receipt of orders.

Customers Prefer Prime Products

Amazon.in customers look for products with the Prime Badge because it represents fast, free shipping and reliable customer service. Fulfillment by Amazon makes your offers more visible and competitive, giving you access to crores of our loyal Prime customers. Fulfillment by Amazon also increases your chance for winning the Offer Display, which appears with the “Add to Cart” option when customers click on a product they wish to buy. As a Prime seller, you can also participate in Prime Day, an annual shopping festival exclusively for Prime customers and sellers.
