A shipping profile is used to provide your shipping capabilities to your retailers on Private Marketplace. Common shipping capabilities include:

  • Locations where you ship to (ship zones)
  • Handling/processing time
  • Service levels that can be accommodated
  • Transit time
  • Price

You can create a default shipping profile, and add additional shipping profiles as needed. For example, you can create one profile that applies to most of your items and another profile for fragile items where delivery times may be longer.

If your retailer uses shipping profiles as part of their Private Marketplace program, the shipping profile will automatically be linked to the items in your inventory.

Note: Not every retail trading partner participates in Private Marketplace, which is different from the drop-ship program.
