<h3>How WooCommerce Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfillment works:</h3>
This extension is flexible and can handle a wide range of shipping scenarios, but its main purpose is to automate order fulfillment through Amazon. This core objective drives how and when the extension is triggered to send an order’s data to Amazon. You would typically never ship a product before receiving valid payment, and this plugin works the same way.
WooCommerce Amazon Fulfillment only sends orders to MCF automatically after it detects the WooCommerce payment complete event. It has been tested with Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.Net, and Amazon Payments, but it should work with any other payment method that is properly built for WooCommerce which triggers the payment complete action.
Therefore, all other typical WooCommerce settings like payment gateways and shipping methods should be configured and working properly before integrating with MCF. Also, the value of each product SKU in WooCommerce must perfectly match the Seller SKU field in your MCF inventory in order for Amazon to process, pack, and ship the order (this means it’s CASE sensitive as well!). Every time the payment complete condition for an order is detected, WooCommerce Amazon Fulfillment will send the order, customer, and product information to MCF as an outbound fulfillment order for the products in the cart which are set to fulfill through Amazon. If there are any errors, the plugin will send you an email notification and will record an order note with a detailed record of the order data and the error.
Before using the extension, you will need to configure Amazon Marketplace Web Service (MWS) credentials which allow it to access to your Amazon fulfillment account. Read more in our <a href="https://woocommerce.com/document/amazon-fulfillment/">Documentation</a>.
