If you use Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfilment (MCF) — where Amazon ships orders that were sold on your other channels, such as Shopify — you may want to see the fulfilment fees Amazon charges for those orders separately from your normal FBA fees, so you can report on the true cost of fulfilling your off-Amazon sales.
This add-on does exactly that, and nothing else.
What it does
When enabled, Link My Books splits the MCF per-unit fulfilment fee out of your combined Amazon FBA fees and reports it on its own dedicated line, called:
Amazon FBA Fees - MCF Per-Unit Fulfilment Fee
You can then map that line to its own account in Xero or QuickBooks via Accounts & Taxes > Account & Tax Mappings, exactly as you would any other fee line. Everything else in your Amazon breakdown stays as it is.
Which option is right for me?
There are two ways to separate MCF costs in Link My Books, and they suit different needs.
1. Fulfilment Type Grouping (free, self-service)
Splits your Sales, Refunds, Sales Tax and Seller Fees by fulfilment type — FBA, MFN, and Other (which is where MCF orders sit)
Best if you want a full picture of each fulfilment type across your whole Amazon breakdown
Adds considerably more detail everywhere, not just to the fees
Turn it on yourself under Settings > Settlement Settings > Transaction Grouping — see Split Sales, Refunds, Sales Tax, and Seller Fees by Fulfilment Type
2. MCF Per-Unit Fulfilment Fee separation (this add-on, paid)
Separates only the MCF per-unit fulfilment fee onto its own line
Best if the fee is the only thing you need visibility of, and you would rather not add fulfilment type detail across the rest of your reporting
Leaves the rest of your Amazon breakdown completely untouched
Cost and how to enable it
This is a paid add-on at £15 per month.
⚠️ This is not a toggle in the app. The add-on is enabled by our team on our side, so you cannot switch it on yourself. To request it, contact us via the blue chat icon at the bottom right of the page or email [email protected].
Because this adds a monthly charge to the subscription, we need authorisation from the account owner before enabling it. If you are not the account owner, please ask them to make the request or to confirm it with us directly.
Things to know before you enable it
Settlements already sent are not changed retroactively. Only settlements that have not yet been sent to Xero or QuickBooks will refresh and pick up the new line. If you want the split applied to settlements you have already posted, you will need to roll them back and re-send them — see our Rollback Feature article.
The new line follows your existing account until you map it. Until you assign Amazon FBA Fees - MCF Per-Unit Fulfilment Fee its own account in your mappings, it will continue to post to whichever account your Amazon FBA Fees currently use. Nothing will break, but you also won't see the split in your accounts until the mapping is set.
You need the right user role to set the mapping. Changing account mappings requires an Admin, Accountant or Owner role. A Basic User cannot make this change — see How to add additional users to your account for the full list of roles.
