MCF with Prime is a Prime delivery feature built on top of MCF. It enables you to offer Prime delivery promises on your MCF orders fulfilled by MCF. MCF with Prime doesn’t introduce any new pre-install requirements; if you already meet the requirements for MCF and Buy with Prime, you can use MCF with Prime. To activate MCF with Prime, you need at least one MCF-mapped SKU in your catalog, since Prime delivery is enabled as a setting on your existing MCF products.
