Amazon to 3PL Tour: Watch a Real Order Route, Ship, and Sync
An Amazon Business order, start to finish, on real screens from a live InfiPlex account: pulled into the queue automatically, sent to a third-party fulfillment network the same minute it arrived, shipped with tracking, closed on its own, and inventory synced back to Amazon down to the unit. No signup, about a minute to click through, full written version below.
Six screens, one Amazon order
Click anywhere on the screen to advance. Every image is an unedited capture from a live account, and the notes and totals you'll see are the system's own records for this exact order.
That's the whole loop.
Order in, routed, shipped, tracked, synced. Nobody touched a spreadsheet.

Every step, in writing
The same six screens as the walkthrough above, with what's actually happening on each one.
1. The Amazon order lands in the queue
An Amazon Business order arrives in the open-orders queue with the Amazon order ID, ship-to, every item, totals, and the requested shipping method already filled in, pulled automatically the moment it was placed. It sits in the same queue as every other channel, so Amazon orders get worked exactly like Walmart, Shopify, or AliExpress orders. Nobody logged into Seller Central to find it.
2. Order 103485, already wired for the 3PL
The order detail shows every field populated, the original Amazon order ID carried through, and on the right, the order is already connected to Wayfair Castlegate, the third-party fulfillment network handling it. This is an FBM order shipping through a 3PL, not FBA, and the routing decision happened without anyone touching it.
3. Four line items, sent to the 3PL the same minute
Four SKUs, 16 units, a $1,513.93 order. Look at the quantity column: the first line fills 4 units from one warehouse and 2 from another, an automatic split the routing engine made on its own (the full logic is in the multi-warehouse order routing guide). Below it, a timestamped note lists every SKU and quantity sent to Wayfair Castlegate, logged at 2:47 pm, the same minute the order was saved. That's a receipt, not a status label.
4. Tracking populated, order closed on its own
The 3PL picks, packs, and ships, and InfiPlex pulls the tracking number back onto the order and closes it. The queue row now shows tracking attached and status Closed, with nobody copying numbers between systems. On Amazon, confirmation speed is a seller metric, so tracking that flows back the moment it exists is not a nice-to-have.
5. One SKU, four warehouses, one number
The inventory view for a single SKU, a 10,000 BTU portable air conditioner, across every stocking location: 17 units in the Vegas warehouse, 123 in Naperville, zero in Canada and Des Moines. Add them up and the system agrees on one total everywhere it's asked: 140. Warehouse-level counts stay separate for routing, the channel-facing number stays unified. That's the core of multichannel inventory sync.
6. InfiPlex says 140, Amazon says 140
The proof shot: system inventory 140, updated 4:14 pm; Amazon inventory 140, updated 4:17 pm. Three minutes apart, same number, kept in sync automatically. When a unit ships from any warehouse on any channel, Amazon's count moves with it, which is how oversells stop happening.
Amazon + 3PL fulfillment FAQ
Can my 3PL fulfill my Amazon orders instead of FBA?
Yes. That's exactly what this tour shows: an FBM order routed to a third-party fulfillment network automatically, shipped, and confirmed back to Amazon with tracking. The same connection pattern works whether your 3PL runs 3PL Central, Logiwa, VeraCore, ShipHero, ShipStream, or Snapfulfil, or is one of the named fulfillment services InfiPlex connects directly, Wayfair Castlegate included, as shown here. FBA can stay in the mix too; plenty of sellers run FBA for some SKUs and a 3PL for others, and InfiPlex routes each order to the right place per your rules. The order management for 3PL page covers the full setup.
What happens when one Amazon order needs stock from two warehouses?
It splits automatically. In this exact tour, line one fills 4 units from the Vegas warehouse and 2 from Des Moines, a decision the routing engine made from live stock levels with no human involved. Orders can split across warehouses, across two different 3PLs, or across a 3PL and your own building, and the tracking numbers merge back onto the single order so Amazon and your customer see one clean record. The mechanics, priority lists, zip rules, and per-SKU overrides, are in the multi-warehouse order routing guide.
Does tracking get back to Amazon fast enough?
Tracking is pulled from the 3PL the moment it exists and confirmed to Amazon automatically, and the order closes itself, which you can see happen in step 4. That speed matters on Amazon specifically: late shipment confirmations count against seller metrics, and a tracking number sitting in a warehouse email overnight is exactly how those dings happen. With the loop automated, the gap between your 3PL printing a label and Amazon knowing about it is minutes, not a workday.
What does this cost and how long does setup take?
InfiPlex plans start at $49.99/month, and pricing is public on the pricing page, no sales call required to see it. Amazon connections are measured in days, not months, because the integration already exists, and the same account connects 130+ channels and fulfillment platforms from the integrations directory. To watch other flows first, the product tour hub has an AliExpress walkthrough live and more on the way, and the free demo runs InfiPlex against your actual channels.
