4. In the form that appears, you will need to fill out several fields:

  • The "Name" field is where you can give the channel a name that will be meaningful to you. For example, you could name it "Amazon Channel" or "Amazon Channel UK" so that you can easily identify where orders came from in the future. Please make sure your channel name is unique and haven't been used before in any other channel.
  • The "Marketplace ID" field refers to the country where your Amazon account is registered. Select the country where you are selling your product on Amazon.
  • The "Fulfilment Channels" field is a filter that allows you to control which orders are taken via Despatch Cloud. For example, if you don't want to receive AFN orders, you can deselect that option.
  • The "MFN (Merchant Fulfillment Network)" field refers to Amazon's Fulfilled by Merchant (FBM) term, which is a sales method where a seller sells an item to an Amazon store but manages all warehousing, shipping, and customer support independently.
  • The "AFN (Amazon Fulfillment Network)" field refers to a sales method where a seller stores some of the items or part of the item's stock at Amazon and whenever a product is ordered, the shipping process is carried out automatically by Amazon.
