For Drop Shipping Sellers: SellerRunning

If you sell with a drop shipping model, managing products, stock and order tracking by hand eventually takes a lot of time and increases the risk of errors. SellerRunning is an e-commerce management platform built for drop shipping sellers. In this article we summarize the main tools the platform offers and what to look for when choosing a management tool for drop shipping on Amazon.

What does SellerRunning offer?

• Product management: Tools for importing products, presenting them visually and marketing them.
• Inventory and order management: Tracking stock and orders from one place, and creating invoices and shipping labels automatically.
• Marketing and sales support: A range of marketing tools to promote your products.
• Analytics and reporting: Monitoring your business's performance and identifying priority customer groups.
• Multi-store support: Selling through more than one store and managing them all from a single platform.
• Support and training materials: Content that helps you learn the platform, and the ability to scale features up or down to suit your needs.

A tool does not replace Amazon's policy

Whatever platform you use, the basic rule in Amazon's drop shipping policy does not change: as the party selling the product to the customer, you are responsible. Whose name appears on the invoice, label and package, who accepts returns and whether the product is authentic are your responsibility. A management tool can make these tasks easier, but it does not take over the responsibility. For the details of the policy, see our article Drop Shipping on Amazon.

What to check when choosing a tool

1. Invoices and labels: Can you use only your own business name and contact details on the documents?
2. Stock sync: Does your listing close automatically when the supplier runs out of the product? Otherwise order cancellations will increase.
3. Tracking information: Are the tracking number and shipping status passed on in time? Delays damage your late shipment rate.
4. Returns management: Can you manage returns under your own control?
5. Reporting: Can you see metrics such as cancellations, late shipments and order defects?
6. Permissions: When connecting the tool to your Amazon account, grant only the permissions that are needed, and review the permissions you have granted from time to time.
7. Support: Can you get a quick reply when you run into a problem?

When switching to a new tool, testing it first with a small group of products prevents possible errors from affecting your account.

Tools you should not use

Tools that artificially boost sales or product rankings, influence reviews or offer automations that Amazon does not allow put your account at risk instead of speeding up your work. Such behavior may count as a violation of the Seller Code of Conduct. Do not connect a tool to your account without knowing what it makes you do.

Frequently asked questions

Does using SellerRunning guarantee compliance with Amazon's policies?

No. No management tool can guarantee policy compliance on its own. Compliance comes from your supplier arrangements, the contents of your packages and documents, and your returns process together.

Why does multi-store management matter?

If you have more than one sales channel, tracking stock, order and price information from one place reduces errors. On Amazon, however, additional accounts are accepted only with a valid business reason; keep the risk of related accounts in mind when setting up your account structure.

How should I monitor my Account Health?

In addition to the tool's reports, check Amazon's Account Health page regularly; the official metrics always take precedence.
