Get Ready for Dropship

Use this checklist to prepare a focused range for dependable shopper fulfilment through approved marketplace sellers.

Step 1: Prepare the business

1. Complete registration, email confirmation, business verification, and multi-factor authentication.
2. Confirm Dropship is selected in Settings.
3. Sign in and make sure Orders, Catalog, Inventory, and Feeds are available for the work you expect to do.

Step 2: Prepare the range and stock

1. Give every sellable item a unique, stable stock-keeping unit (SKU).
2. Set available stock and reorder points.
3. Set a realistic fulfilment lead time and supported regions.
4. Use Feeds for a larger catalogue.

Step 3: Agree the seller relationship

1. Review pending seller connections.
2. Enable dropship on approvals that should receive consumer orders.
3. Agree margin, discount, lead time, tracking, freight, and return handling.
4. Remember that dropship acceptance does not use wholesale relationship credit.

Step 4: Prove the fulfilment path

1. Start with a low-risk product and seller relationship.
2. Accept an order only when every line can be covered.
3. Ship with valid carrier and tracking details.
4. Confirm everyone understands the rejection, cancellation, and return path before volume increases.

Step 5: Set the daily rhythm

1. Decide who checks pending work, stock, and shipment exceptions each day.
2. Keep Supplier Portal as the operating fallback even when approved system delivery is configured.
3. Reconcile with settlements and documents.
4. Send technical teams to Developers only when an approved business-system connection is needed.
