Amazon FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) is a service that allows you to store your products in Amazon’s fulfillment centers, with Amazon handling picking, packing, shipping, and customer service. By integrating Amazon FBA as a source in Flxpoint, you can leverage Amazon’s logistics network for order fulfillment while syncing product data and inventory levels directly in Flxpoint.
How To Connect
Product Operations
FBA as a source includes retrieving Amazon FBA inventory and sending purchase orders to FBA for fulfillment. Note: This does not push listings to Amazon; it only uses Amazon’s warehouse/inventory for fulfilling your external orders.

This covers sending orders to Amazon FBA for fulfillment and retrieving shipment information once FBA ships the items.
Send Fulfillment Requests
SUPPORTED
Sends orders from Flxpoint to Amazon FBA for picking, packing, and shipping.
- Map shipping methods to Standard, Expedited, etc. or Amazon returns an error.
- Partial lines are allowed—FBA can fulfill only the SKUs you send. If an item doesn’t exist in FBA, the request fails for that SKU.
- Be mindful of rate limits— if you send too many FR requests quickly, Amazon may throttle you.
Get Shipments
SUPPORTED
Pulls shipment details once FBA ships your orders, including carrier and tracking number. If a multi‐box shipment occurs, you’ll see multiple sub‐shipments with different tracking numbers.
- Partial shipments – FBA may split your order across multiple fulfillment centers. This results in multiple records.
- Invoices or packing slips are not returned. (FBA does not provide these via the standard feed.)
