How Do I Specify How Long it Takes My Items to Ship?
More than you might think, buyers can be impatient creatures, and will often make buying decisions based on how long they perceive it will take until their items are shipped. Here is how to specify in advance what your shipping turnaround time (defined as "the maximum number of business days between when your item is purchased and when you ship it") is, in order to increase your sales.
Specify a Default Shipping Time for All Items in Booth
If you visit your booth's Advanced Options page (Sell -> Advanced Options), near the top of the page, to the right of where you see the words "Basic Options," there is a field labeled "Items ship within [input field] business days." Fill in this field with the maximum days it takes you to ship items, then click the "Save All Options" button, located in the upper right hand area of the Advanced Options page.
Specify a Shipping Time for a Particular Item.
There are two ways to do this:
- Use the Batch Editor. Under "Shipping Options," there is a choice to set your shipping turnaround time.
- Specify the time from within a Shipping Profile. When you choose to use that shipping profile with one of your items, the item will use the shipping turnaround time associated with the shipping profile.
Can I Mix and Match?
You bet! By default, if no specific shipping turnaround time is set for a particular item, Bonanzle will fall back on the shipping turnaround time specified as the default for items in your booth.
