OVERVIEW
Below are the most frequently asked questions regarding Marketplace Inventory
Q. Can inventory be oversold?
No, inventory availability on the Marketplace is pulled directly from our live inventory data, so orders from Retailers will not be oversold.
Q. Are other Brands going to be on my invoice if the retailer orders from multiple brands?
No, while the Retailers’ cart can add multiple brands, the final checkout splits each brand into a separate, itemized sub-order that functions in the same way as an order submitted on the Nabis Portal, with fully distinct manifests, payment terms, discounts, and no line items or pricing information will appear on any other Brands’ suborders.
Q. Is there a ‘back-order’ feature in the Marketplace?
Not at this time. Retailers will see an ‘Out of Stock’ logo on the products that are currently not available.
Q. Is there a live inventory count on products listed on the marketplace?
Yes, available inventory counts will appear on the front product cards.
Q. Is there FIFO Batch Logic on the Marketplace?
Yes, if a Marketplace-listed product is sourced from a SKU that has multiple Linked SKUs, the soonest-to-expire batch will be displayed on the Marketplace Order Display (with its corresponding COA and expiration date), and, if that batch is depleted, the next to expire batch will be used.
To view the Linked SKUs, please click on Inventory -- Products, it will be under the ‘Linked SKUs’ column.
Q. Can I control how much inventory is shown on the Nabis Marketplace?
Yes, you can set a limit of the total inventory on the Marketplace for a specific product, on the product Create/Edit Modal -- Inventory Tab -- Products -- Edit Product Button. For example, if you set 300 units for a product, a total of 300 can be purchased collectively by Retailers on the Marketplace. This is in addition to our existing Product Sales Rules functionality (see next question), where you can additionally (optionally) set a more specific maximum per batch for each individual Retailer in a tagged Retailer Group.
NOTE: For both inventory maximum allocations, this does not lock your inventory in any way. These settings can be changed at any time, and any/all inventory that Retailers can order on the Marketplace is also accessible to Brand Nabis Users from the pool of 'Available' Inventory
Q. How do I make products, that are currently being distributed by Nabis, available on the Marketplace?
Navigate to the Nabis “Inventory” tab and then select the “Products” tab
Hit the yellow pencil icon on the right side of the product you wish to add to the Marketplace
Fill out the following fields in the product popup window
Display Name: This will be the title of your product on Marketplace
Product Description: A brief description that will be shown below your product image on Marketplace
Tags: There are 50+ marketing tags that you can use to label and help retailers discover your product (e.g. Relaxed, Minority-Owned, Live Resin, etc)
Lastly, upload a product image (you may upload a total of 6 images) and hit the Listed on Marketplace toggle, and hit Update to save. If you want to see what the product looks like on the retailer page, select the yellow Preview button.
