NS FBA FOR WOOCOMMERCE
Delivering a powerful automated shipping solution for WooCommerce through Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)
WP Plugins
MARKET DEMANDS
One of the challenges that we needed to solve for our Osana Project was automating fulfillment and shipping. We looked high and low for an existing solution to integrate WooCommerce with Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), but couldn’t find anything. However, we found lots of other people searching for the exact same thing. It blew our minds that no one had done this yet despite several prominent conversations about it on relevant forums going back years.
NEVER SETTLE SUPPLIES
So we built it. For ourselves. And for every other merchant who also wanted to integrate their WooCommerce store with Amazon’s popular fulfillment services. Since we needed it for Osana, we knew that any feature request development and support time required would also benefit our own cart. Due to the existing market demand, and no other supply, we quickly jumped to the top SEO positions for relevant searches. It has quickly become one of our best customer-driven premium WordPress plugins.
TECHNOLOGY USED
WHAT THE CLIENT HAD TO SAY
AMAZON FBA APIS AND WOOCOMMERCE APIS
APIs are always interesting to work with. Some are amazing. Some are horrendous. Amazon’s FBA documentation and APIs are pretty good, but there were a few snags. Some of their current PHP libraries and examples contained bugs. It took some reverse engineering and experimenting, but our talented team got it done. One of our strengths is a stubborn competitiveness. Once we decide to do something we don’t give up. We often find ourselves creatively solving problems through unconventional methods when conventional methods fail or fall short.
The WooCommerce APIs are pretty amazing. It’s one of the reasons we love WooCommerce and use it for all of our own ecommerce in WordPress. It’s also one of the reasons we love building things for it like NS FBA. However, there have been a few bumps along the road with WooCommerce too. We try to take it in stride and leapfrog the issues to discover new ways of innovating.
