FBA prep is the process of preparing inventory to Amazon Fulfillment Center standards before shipment. Amazon discontinued their FBA Prep service on January 1, 2026, so sellers now rely on third-party prep centers like Ecom Circles. We handle FNSKU labeling, quality inspection, poly bagging, bundling, and more, so you don’t have to. Your products will be validated, enriched, and prepared automatically, integrated seamlessly with Ecom Circles software.
