Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfillment (MCF) provides low-cost, reliable fulfillment for multiple ecommerce sales channels in as fast as two days. It’s part of a fully automated set services we call Supply Chain by Amazon.
In eStack, we support MCF once order came we check in our local inventory if we don't have it on our inventory we check AMAZON Stocks (FBA), if we don't have stocks on amazon we tagged the order as STOCK-HOLD.
Amazon change their from MWS to SP-API. In estack we have third party script that will support amazon SP-API. Here's the third party script that we use on AMAZON SP-API.
