Your Shipping Labels When Providing Box Content Using Feeds

After you have clicked the button to Transmit Boxes to Seller Central in Stratify, we begin to process something called a feed.  This is how the box content data from Stratify is transferred over to Seller Central.

Once Amazon has processed the feed successfully, you will see a green Success message in Stratify.

Before navigating to Seller Central to finish up getting your boxes prepped, fully sealed, and packed, and generate shipping labels, make sure you see this Success message in Stratify and that the box content information is correct.  Once you are on the shipment page with Send to Amazon in Seller Central, changes can no longer be made to the box content information through the API.

When you're ready to finish up your shipment in Seller Central, click Inventory from the navigation menu, then click Shipments.

Click the Work on Shipment button located to the right of the shipment you’d like to complete.

After clicking the Send to Amazon selection, Step 1 will show information for the MSKUs in the shipment along with their quantities and expiration dates (if entered while listing in Stratify).

Add any needed information and confirm that everything looks correct, then click the Pack units button to proceed.

Step 1-b is where you can provide your box content information and enter the weight/dimensions of your boxes if not provided through Stratify.

When Box Content is set to On- Using Feeds and transmitted from Stratify successfully, you will see a message confirming that packing information was provided via Amazon's API. 

To move to the next step, click Confirm and Continue.

Note: If you're running into issues with the box content information transmitting from Stratify, you can try uploading the information manually to Seller Central.  For more information, please see- Uploading Box Content Information from Stratify to Send to Amazon

Step 2 is where you will be required to enter a Ship Date and select your Shipping mode (SPD or LTL).  You're also able to review the shipment by clicking View Contents.

Select your shipping carrier and click Accept charges and confirm shipping to proceed.

Step 3 is where you can review your shipment details and print shipping labels.

Keep in mind that if you provided box content through Stratify, you already know the order of the boxes and box names when applying your shipping labels. The order you enter this information is very important because you want them to line up Stratify with Seller Central.

If you are unsure of your box names, etc., and need a reminder of the contents, visit Stratify>List>List & Prep and click the 3 horizontal lines next to the Working Shipment you are working on.  Choose "Work on Shipment" from the menu and you can review the boxes and contents of those boxes.

Stratify's box names are created in numerical order, just like Amazon’s.

Example 1:
Box name U001 in Stratify = Box 1 in Seller Central when putting in dimensions = Box name ending in U001 on your shipping label

Box name U002 in Stratify = Box 2 in Seller Central when putting in dimensions = Box name ending in U002 on your shipping label

HOWEVER

If you skip a sequence in Stratify (say you had Box U001, U002, and U003… but then you deleted Box U002), the order will be a little off.

Example 2:
Box name U001 in Stratify = Box 1 in Seller Central when putting in dimensions = Box name ending in U001 on your shipping label

Box name U003 in Stratify = Box 2 in Seller Central when putting in dimensions = Box name ending in U002 on your shipping label

Assuming no box names were skipped in Statify like Example 1 above, the name on the 2nd page of your shipping label should correspond to the name of your box in Stratify:

Note: If the box names on your shipping labels do not match Stratify, please see- Boxes Out of Order on Shipping Labels When Using Send to Amazon

Once you've printed your shipping labels, this completes the shipment workflow in Seller Central.

When you have completed a shipment, you can mark them as "Ready to Ship" in Stratify. For more information, please see- Marking a Shipment as "Ready to Ship"
