Overview

Amazon has added six fresh code examples that illustrate how sellers can hook their own systems into Multi‑Channel Fulfillment (MCF). The snippets walk developers through the most common MCF actions—previewing an order, creating a shipment, cancelling, tracking, listing, and updating orders. Because the examples work across every Amazon marketplace, sellers with global operations can adopt them without regional tweaks.

Key Points

• Six ready‑to‑use samples — A complete collection now exists that guides developers through the core MCF workflow steps.
• Typical use cases covered — The examples demonstrate order preview, fulfillment creation, cancellation, tracking retrieval, order listing, and order modification.
• Global marketplace support — No marketplace‑specific changes are required; the code runs unchanged on North America, Europe, Asia‑Pacific, and other regions.
• Multiple programming languages — Each sample is provided in several language variants, letting teams pick the stack that matches their existing architecture.
• Faster developer onboarding — End‑to‑end snippets cut the learning curve, allowing sellers to move from concept to a working integration in far less time.
• Up‑to‑date API calls — The snippets target the latest MCF API version, so request formats and response objects reflect current specifications.

How the New Multi‑Channel Fulfillment Samples Work

1. Preview Order — The first snippet calls the previewOrder endpoint with a payload that lists SKU, quantity, and destination details. For instance, a seller can simulate shipping three “Ocean‑Blue Cotton T‑Shirts” to a customer in Berlin and receive an estimated cost and delivery window before committing the order.

2. Create Fulfillment Order — The second example builds a createFulfillmentOrder request using the same SKU and address data. When executed, Amazon returns a fulfillment order identifier and an expected ship date. A retailer selling a limited‑edition smartwatch can automatically trigger Amazon’s pick‑pack‑ship process the moment a buyer completes checkout on the retailer’s website.
