Changes to your store settings
The updated MCF and Buy with Prime app for Shopify includes the following key changes to your store settings:
- App fulfillment location renamed: The app fulfillment location name changes from Buy with Prime to Amazon Fulfillment. Existing orders are automatically mapped to the new location name.
- MCF as a backup fulfillment option: With MCF as your backup fulfillment option, shoppers can avoid checkout errors when they place orders through alternate checkouts, such as Shop Pay, for items that are out of stock at fulfillment locations outside Amazon Fulfillment, but in stock within Amazon Fulfillment.
Actions to take before the update
To ensure that your orders are automatically and correctly fulfilled by MCF, and that you’re aware of MCF pricing when MCF is your primary or a backup fulfillment method, take the following actions prior to July 22, 2025:

For more information, go to Order management integrations for Shopify.
- Automate fulfillment of MCF orders: Configure your Shopify settings to ensure that MCF orders are submitted automatically. For more information, go to Automating MCF for items that aren’t Prime eligible.
