Getting set up as a FBA Warehous
I am not sure where to start with this but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. We are a small Canadian Warehouse and we would like to get set up to fulfill orders for Amazon. I inquired and I was told to set up an account by visiting https://sell.amazon.com/fulfillment-by-amazon. That took me into seller central and I set up an account. It seems though that this has set me up as a store. We are not running a store but we want to fullfill product for other sellers who may not have warehouse space.
Am I in the right spot? Any guidance is much appreciated.

Whoever you talked to did not understand what you want to do. Amazon runs it's own warehouses for FBA -- Sellers send inventory to amazon and then amazon ships the inventory when it sells.
For what you want to do: You have to make agreements with Sellers who want to use someone else to store and ship orders. Amazon is NOT involved. Your warehouse operation does not need limit things to just sales on amazon, but can ship orders that Sellers get on different platforms.
Good luck.

Following on your post. Based on your inquiry, and what the other peer sellers shared, here are some help pages with more information of Fulfilled by Amazon:
Get started with Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA)
FBA features, services and fees
If you are looking to rent a place to Amazon for them to storage their products or set as shipping distribution place, I do not have information, my recommendation will be for you to reach out to our support channel for further assistance.

It sounds like you want to be what us sellers call a "prep center"
you would have to make arrangements with 3rd party sellers, not Amazon.
Do you have any experience packing and making shipments ?
i would recommend going through Amazons "seller university" and going through the information regarding whats needed for preparing shipments.
