Overview

If you want to apply Shipping Template settings to specific listings, you must map individual items (SKUs) to each fulfillment center and shipping template. You will not have access to map SKUs until four hours after creating your Shipping Template.

  1. Navigate to the Manage Items dashboard in Seller Center and select the item which you would like to edit or assign a shipping template.
  2. Select Edit Shipping Template.

3. In the Edit Shipping Template tab, you can either change the assignment for the Default Template or add in a new rule to assign a template to a FC that you do not see in the list.


3. In the Edit Inventory tab, you can modify the inventory for this item.


Pro tip

Remember that you can attach only one template to one Fulfillment Center.
