Troubleshoot why Fast Badge is not working
Use the below checklist to troubleshoot MCF Fast badge issues.
Are you a merchant outside of the US? MCF Fast Badge is only available in the US marketplace at this time. As Amazon expands Fast Badge to additional marketplaces, ByteStand will expand as well.
Is Flex enabled and set up inside of ByteStand? The Flex feature tells Shopify and ByteStand what products should be sent to Amazon in Shopify orders, if the orders should be automatically fulfilled, and which SKUs should receive the Fast Badge feature. Scroll up to ‘Requirements’ in this post to learn more about Flex and how to enable and set Flex up.
Shopify Theme. MCF Fast Badge is only compatible with 2.0 Shopify themes. If you are receiving an error while setting up Fast Badge it could be because your store is using a Vintage Shopify theme. The store will want to change or upgrade their theme in order to use the MCF Fast Badge feature.
Frequent Error warnings – This service is currently unavailable
There are multiple reasons the MCF Fast Badge block shows an error warning on product pages. If the error message inside of the block says, ‘This service is currently unavailable’ check the below.
The stores Amazon Credentials have expired in the app. If this is the case the store should have a large error warning on the home page of the app. This also means the stores orders would not be sending to Amazon correctly and/or inventory sync is not working in the app.
Inventory. The SKU the customer is attempting to receive estimated shipping timeframes on is currently out of available inventory in Amazon Seller Central. Check the SKU’s inventory in Amazon.
Seller Account is Blocked. It is common for Amazon to block sellers Amazon accounts from the MCF program. This is out of ByteStands control. If this is the case the stores orders are also not sending to Amazon and are most likely stuck in a Failed status in the Order page of the app. If you click on the Failed warning a pop up will appear that reports the account is blocked.
Product SKUS. If the product does not have a SKU or the SKU is incorrect the error warning will say ‘This service is currently unavailable.
Additional Notes
