Seamless TikTok Shop Fulfillment: An Amazon MCF Success Story
Berkland Goods, a seasoned Amazon seller, wanted a seamless way to fulfill TikTok Shop orders using their existing Amazon FBA inventory. In early 2024, they partnered with David Ricardo to achieve full automation with minimal manual intervention. By implementing a multichannel strategy—leveraging Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfillment (MCF) through Shopify—we enabled Berkland Goods to efficiently scale their TikTok Shop operations. Within the first year, order volume skyrocketed by 103,500%, with over 10,332 orders fulfilled through Amazon MCF, demonstrating the power of an integrated fulfillment solution.
Merchant Overview
Berkland Goods specializes in consumer packaged goods (CPG) and has been a leading Amazon seller for over a decade. During the aggregator boom, they successfully sold one of their Amazon accounts. In 2024, the founders identified TikTok Shop as an emerging opportunity but lacked direct expertise in the platform, so they needed a streamlined fulfillment strategy to support this new sales channel while maintaining operational efficiency.
The Challenge
In March 2024, Berkland Goods was introduced to David Ricardo through Venty Fan. Their primary challenges were:
- Leveraging Amazon FBA inventory for TikTok Shop orders without incurring excessive costs for integration or third-party logistics (3PL) services.
- Automating order fulfillment to eliminate manual intervention and optimize scalability.
- Ensuring quick turnaround times while maintaining fulfillment reliability.
Berkland Goods needed a cost-effective and efficient way to integrate TikTok Shop with Amazon MCF without significant development expenses.
The Solution: A Fully Automated Multichannel Strategy
To address these challenges, our team at David Ricardo developed a comprehensive multichannel strategy leveraging:
- Amazon MCF as the primary fulfillment provider.
- Shopify as the centralized order management platform.
- Flow App automation to route orders from TikTok Shop to Amazon MCF.
Our approach involved:
Shopify as the order Hub – We set up Shopify as a centralized platform to collect TikTok Shop orders and seamlessly relay them to Amazon MCF.
- Automated Order Processing: By implementing the Flow App, any incoming order from TikTok Shop was automatically routed to Amazon MCF without delays.
- Operational Optimization: We provided guidance on TikTok Shop best practices, helping the brand build traction over a 90-day period to achieve sustainable order flow.
How Berkland Goods Leverages Amazon MCF
Berkland Goods fully embraced Amazon MCF as their 3PL solution, benefiting from:

- Lower costs – By bypassing expensive third-party fulfillment providers, they leveraged Amazon’s existing logistics network.
- Scalability – With automation in place, they were able to handle sudden spikes in demand without operational bottlenecks.
