As the e-commerce industry continues to develop, warehouse management has become one of the important links that affect the efficiency of e-commerce operations. As a well-known e-commerce platform, Pinduoduo’s semi-hosted warehouse model provides merchants with a new warehousing solution. The following will introduce the operation methods of Pinduoduo’s semi-hosted warehouse in detail.
1. Log in to the backend of the semi-hosted store and view order management
First, the seller needs to enter the backend management system. After logging in successfully, the seller needs to make sure that he has switched to the store with the “semi-hosted” logo, which is to ensure that subsequent operations are performed in the correct store environment.
When the seller enters the homepage of the semi-hosted store, he will see a clear menu bar. In order to view order management, the seller needs to click the [Warehouse Address Management] option under [Delivery Management]. This operation will lead the seller to jump to an interface dedicated to managing shipping warehouses, including viewing existing warehouse information, creating new warehouses, and deleting abandoned warehouses.
2. Create a shipping warehouse
In the “Warehouse Address Management” module, sellers can perform a number of key operations. First, by viewing the shipping warehouse list, sellers can quickly understand the warehouse configuration of the current store.
When the seller needs to add a new shipping warehouse, he can click the “Create Shipping Warehouse” button. Then, the system will expand a drawer interface for editing the shipping warehouse. Here, the seller needs to fill in the relevant information in sequence according to the system prompts:
Warehouse name: The seller can customize the warehouse name according to his own needs and preferences.
Contact: Fill in the contact information of the shipping warehouse (the system supports bilingual editing in Chinese and English).
Contact information: The seller needs to fill in the contact information of the country/region corresponding to the shipping warehouse. Please note that the system does not support telephone numbers in non-shipping areas.
Warehouse address: When filling in the address, the seller needs to enter the address keyword and select the corresponding state/city address. Then, enter the detailed warehouse address. Note: The address must be filled in English and no special characters are allowed.
Address postal code: Fill in the city postal code corresponding to the warehouse address to ensure the integrity of the address information.
Set the default shipping warehouse: If the seller has multiple shipping warehouses, the commonly used warehouse can be set as the default shipping warehouse.
After completing the above information, the seller can click the Submit button. The system will automatically create a new shipping warehouse information in the shipping warehouse list, which is convenient for sellers to view and manage at any time.
3. How to delete abandoned warehouses
Over time, sellers may find that some shipping warehouses are no longer in use or have become abandoned warehouses. In order to keep the system clean and efficient, sellers can delete these abandoned warehouses. But please note that before deleting the warehouse, the seller needs to unbind the warehouse’s delivery template so as not to affect other orders in use. After the unbinding is completed, the seller can find the corresponding abandoned warehouse in the warehouse list and click the Delete button to delete it.
Sellers understand that the operation methods of Pinduoduo’s semi-hosted warehouses can help e-commerce sellers improve operational efficiency and easily handle order shipments. This article details the steps to log in to the semi-hosted store backend, create a shipping warehouse, and delete abandoned warehouses, making warehouse management more convenient.
