The main problem that e-commerce sellers encounter is not knowing when and how many items to restock. In a nutshell, e-commerce companies need to know the optimal volume to restock otherwise it puts them at jeopardy of overstocking and understocking. We want to dodge these three scenarios because overstocking means holding excess inventory sitting on warehouse racks where the long-term storage fees will start racking up (especially in Amazon warehouses) to a substantial number.

Some benefits of that include having the customer as a direct customer, guaranteed income, Amazon not being able to shut you off, and best of all increased credibility which can help you out if you’re also selling on Amazon. However, Amazon does provide you with all their customers and the exposure of your products to those customers, whereas with Woocommerce you’ll need to advertise extensively. Firstly, we’ll have to connect Woocommerce to Amazon FBA so that any sale completed on Woocommerce can be fulfilled by Amazon FBA. You could also use 3PLs but if your numbers are not above a certain threshold, it’s more effective to use Amazon FBA.
