Setup Guide — Step by Step

1. Plan & Audit Your Current Systems

Inventory your sales channels, warehouses, SKUs, and carrier accounts. Identify pain points (e.g., overselling, slow fulfillment) and define success metrics (fulfillment time, order accuracy).

2. Choose the Right Plan

Based on monthly order volume and required features, select a tier. For integrations or custom needs, coordinate with sales for enterprise options.

3. Prepare Data & Accounts

Clean up product SKUs and ensure consistent SKU mapping across platforms.
Gather API credentials for sales channels (Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, eBay).
Confirm carrier account numbers and label printing settings.
Ensure user accounts and permissions align with your organizational roles.

4. Connect Sales Channels & Marketplaces

Use WL Orders Manager’s integration connectors to link your storefronts and marketplaces. Test syncing for a representative sample of orders and products.

5. Configure Inventory Sync & Allocation Rules

Set your sync direction (two-way recommended), define safety stock and reorder points, and create allocation rules for priority channels or reserved inventory.

6. Set Up Warehouse Workflows

Define picking strategies (single order, batch, wave).
Configure packing rules and package types.
Implement barcode scanning flows and test them on the floor.

7. Configure Shipping & Carrier Settings

Connect carrier accounts and enable rate shopping if supported. Set default packaging, shipping profiles, and label printing templates.

8. Build Automation Rules & Notifications

Create rules for order routing, fraud flags, and automated customer notifications. Test each rule with sandbox or test orders.

9. Test End-to-End

Place test orders across channels, run them through picking, packing, and shipping. Verify inventory updates, shipping labels, tracking notifications, and accounting exports.

10. Train Staff & Go Live

Run training sessions for warehouse, customer support, and admin users. Start with a soft launch (subset of orders or channels) before full migration.

Common Implementation Pitfalls & Tips

Keep SKUs consistent across systems to avoid mapping errors.
Start with core integrations first; add marketplaces gradually.
Use sandboxes/test modes for carrier and payment integrations to avoid real charges.
Monitor the first 2–4 weeks closely and iterate on rules and workflows.
Document processes and maintain a single source of truth for fulfillment SOPs.

When WL Orders Manager Is a Good Fit

You sell through multiple channels and need a single source of truth.
Your fulfillment team needs more automation to reduce manual work.
You’re experiencing frequent oversells or inventory mismatches.
You want built-in returns management and carrier integrations without building custom middleware.

Alternatives to Evaluate

Consider other order management systems if you have specialized needs (ERP integration, complex manufacturing, or heavy customization). Compare on integration breadth, API maturity, pricing scalability, and support responsiveness.

If you want, I can:

produce a 30–60 day rollout checklist tailored to your sales channels and order volume, or
create sample automation rules and warehouse pick/pack templates based on your SKU mix.
