How to Manage Inventory for Your Amazon Direct Fulfillment Account and Ship from ShipStation

Last Updated: Sep 21, 2026

With InfiPlex Inventory & Order Management System (OMS) in the middle, Amazon Vendor Central Direct Fulfillment orders ship from ShipStation while InfiPlex manages inventory for every SKU. Tracking flows from ShipStation to InfiPlex and on to Vendor Central, completing the shipment in the portal. The connection takes 1 to 2 business days; see how to connect ShipStation to Direct Fulfillment for the set-up. InfiPlex is an AWS Technology Partner

Inventory for Direct Fulfillment

InfiPlex decrements SKU levels as orders arrive and sends the updated quantities to Vendor Central and every other connected channel automatically. Multi-warehouse set-ups are supported. Inventory itself can be maintained four ways:

  • Manual updates. The Inventory tool adjusts any SKU up or down in a few clicks. Its lead-time field feeds restock alerts, which are based on actual sales over time.
    InfiPlex Inventory tool
  • CSV upload. Tools > Price & Inventory Tools accepts a .csv with the columns sku, price, can_purchase, inventory, cost, retail_price, lead_time, safety_stock, bin_location, product_name.
    Price and Inventory upload
  • FTP pulls. The FTP Pull Inventory settings fetch an inventory file from a URL on a schedule of every 6 to 48 hours, and queue the updates to every connected channel.

  • REST API. A custom ERP can post inventory to the InfiPlex REST API; updates queue to every connected channel the same way. See the API overview.
