Easily Manage Amazon Direct Fulfillment with Windingflow
Selling through Amazon Direct Fulfillment offers great reach and convenience, but only if your systems can keep up. For many brands and vendors, managing Direct Fulfillment orders manually can be time-consuming, and difficult to scale. You’re expected to accept shipping orders quickly, drop ship fast, print correct shipping labels, update your Vendor Central account, and stay compliant at every step.
That’s why Windingflow provides complete integration with Amazon Direct Fulfillment. It gives you a full solution to manage every Direct Fulfillment order with less effort and more accuracy.
Fast Setup Without a Developer
You can start using Windingflow with Amazon Direct Fulfillment in just a few steps:
- Add your Amazon Direct Fulfillment account in the settings and authorize with OAuth
- Connect your warehouse addresses so the system knows where to ship from
- Import or create product SKUs for inventory sync and matching
- Set up shipping label templates
Once setup is done, Amazon Direct Fulfillment orders appear in your Windingflow dashboard automatically. Your inventory levels are raised.
Windingflow also supports multiple sales channel or region setups. You can separate orders by product line, country, or fulfillment center to stay organized and flexible.
Manage the Entire Direct Fulfillment Order Lifecycle in One Place
Windingflow lets your team manage every part of Amazon Direct Fulfillment, all in one clear and easy-to-use interface.
Accept Orders Quickly and Easily
As new orders arrive, Windingflow shows you key details such as:
- Available inventory management by SKU
- Reserved and in-stock quantities
- Options to accept or reject items in bulk
If some items are out of stock, you can still accept the order and fulfill the rest later. The system updates individual orders in real time. Status types include New, Accepted, Partially Acknowledged, and Rejected.
This helps your team stay on track and move faster.
Create Shipments in Seconds
Once a product is sold by Amazon:
- Go to the Accepted list
- Select the order
- Click Create Shipment
The system fills in the shipping details and sends it to the labeling section. No need to manually choose warehouses, shipping windows, shipping costs, or carriers.
Print Labels Instantly
You can print carton and pallet labels with one click:
- Go to the Labeling list
- Click Get Labels
- The system fetches labels from Amazon and prepares them for printing
Once labels are ready, go to the fulfillment option and print everything from one place.
Start Fulfillment and Stay on Schedule
From the Awaiting list, you can:
- Add shipments to a new fulfillment
- Combine shipments under one fulfillment task
- Start packing and shipping
After shipping, send the shipping notice (ASN) to Amazon with a single click. This keeps your compliance score healthy and avoids shipment delays.
