Amazon: we’re making it easier for sellers to use our network to grow faster

Yesterday Amazon announced the expansion of its third-party logistics (3PL) product, Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfillment (MCF), to support merchants on SHEIN, Shopify, and Walmart. This growth builds on Amazon MCF’s proven success in enabling fulfillment for merchants on other sales channels including eBay, Etsy, Temu, and TikTok Shop. By leveraging one shared inventory pool with Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), Amazon MCF empowers businesses to simplify their fulfillment, increase sales through existing channels, and quickly launch in new online stores. This eliminates the time and cost investment associated with establishing separate fulfillment operations, giving merchants large and small a powerful advantage to grow their businesses. Amazon MCF’s expansion to SHEIN, Shopify, and Walmart is part of Amazon’s focus on helping merchants build and scale their business on Amazon.com, their own websites, other online retailers, and social media channels.“Amazon’s world-class fulfillment network delights customers with fast, reliable delivery—fueling the success of independent sellers in the U.S. and around the world,” said Peter Larsen, Vice President of Amazon Multichannel Commerce & Fulfillment. “By working with SHEIN, Shopify, and Walmart, we’re making it easier for sellers— especially the small and medium-sized businesses that drive our economy—to use our network to grow faster and more efficiently across their sales channels.”Simplifying Order Fulfillment Across Sales ChannelsMerchants can seamlessly integrate Amazon MCF to help manage their inventory and streamline fulfillment for their SHEIN, Shopify, and Walmart orders in the following ways:SHEIN U.S. Marketplace: By year-end, Amazon will make it easier for SHEIN merchants to choose Amazon MCF to fulfill their SHEIN Marketplace orders through the Amazon MCF for SHEIN app. The free app will be found in Amazon Seller Central, Amazon’s Supply Chain Portal, and the SHEIN Seller Hub.
