- Proceed to follow the steps for creating your new template by inserting the relevant information beneath each of the following sections:

- Prime Settings, which must be selected and you would need to select which warehouse these items are automatically shipped from in the Pop-Up Window that appears;

9. It is important to ensure that you use the below settings for your Seller-Fulfilled Prime Shipping Template when filling out the above fields:
- Free Shipping for Same-Day – Select Cities in the Continental US (0-1 Business Days);
- Free Shipping for Two-Day – Continental US (2-3 Business Days);
- Free Shipping for Standard – Continental US (3-5 Business Days);
- Free Shipping for Standard – Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico (4-8 Business Days);
- Seller Set Rates for Shipping for Standard – US Protectorates, APO/FPO (2-28 Business Days);
- Free Shipping for Free Economy: (3-10 Business Days);
- Prime customers expect to receive a differentiated level of service as part of their membership, so Two-Day Shipping and Same-Day Delivery should not be free for non-Prime members;
- On Prime-enabled shipping templates, Two-Day Shipping options are only available for Prime-enabled regions. Regions that are not configured for Prime shipping benefits can’t be enabled for Two-Day Shipping. Non-Prime regions in the continental United States are still required to offer free Standard Shipping;
- Seller Fulfilled Prime orders with Two-Day Delivery have a two-business day promise, which means orders placed before your cut-off time on Friday will be promised to arrive the following Tuesday; and
- These shipping and delivering options will differ slightly between marketplaces as the above refers to US Seller Fulfilled Prime Settings.
