To do this, go to Settings > Shipping Settings and click on “Migrate Now” to begin the process. Following this migration, you will not be able to send override feeds on this Seller account.5. Follow the prompts to create a default shipping template for the marketplace on your account.

After placing the test order, make sure that the test ASIN quantity in your catalogue is zero.You should also know:1. A test prime order is in fact a real order were you are the Customer and the Seller. As a consequence, your test Customer account will be charged the order amount. That’s why it is important to set the test product price to the minimum.2. As the test Customer account is new, the first order placed may take more time before moving from ‘Pending’ to ‘Unshipped’.3. If you are placing an order as a “test customer” you need to make sure that you are logged out from your Integrator merchant account.
