End-to-end e-commerce in Mexico
Bring seller setup, product compliance, and fulfillment into one launch plan for Amazon, Mercado Libre, or a Shopify storefront in Mexico.
What to consider
Compare your sales channels
Choose the channel alongside your inventory and returns model. Seller requirements and fulfillment options depend on the platform and your setup.
Amazon
Review seller account requirements and compare merchant fulfillment with Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA). Plan how stock would enter and replenish the selected fulfillment network.
Mercado Libre
Check the seller requirements and whether Mercado Envíos Full fits your catalog. Plan inventory intake, replenishment, and returns for your operating model.
Shopify
Plan the storefront, payment setup, and fulfillment separately. Define how you will manage orders, shipping, returns, and customer support.
Planning steps
Build your Mexico launch plan
Map seller setup
Confirm the sales channel, the entity that will operate it, and which RFC, tax, and accounting topics need review.
Screen the catalog
Review product classification, labeling, and any testing or filings that may affect inventory before you commit to a shipment.
Plan inbound stock
Define the importer of record and coordinate freight, customs preparation, and delivery to the warehouse or fulfillment location.
Set up ongoing operations
Plan stock replenishment, returns, and how sales and inventory records will be shared with your accounting team.
Common questions
Can I use different fulfillment models across channels?
Review each channel separately. Your choice affects where inventory sits, who sends each order, and who handles returns.
What should I review before sending inventory?
Confirm the intended seller and importer, product documentation and labeling, and the fulfillment location’s intake requirements for your inventory.
Next step
Scope your e-commerce launch
Bring your target channels, product list, and current fulfillment model. Start by identifying which work needs to happen before your first inventory shipment.
