When operating a cross-border e-commerce business, warehouse management and operation is one of the most important links. The Ozon platform provides sellers with a flexible warehouse priority setting function, enabling them to better manage product inventory and order processing. This article will detail how to set priorities for warehouses on the Ozon platform so that sellers can efficiently deliver goods to designated areas.
1. Warehouse priority setting on the Ozon platform.
When a seller has multiple warehouses on the Ozon platform and these warehouses can deliver similar products to the same area, it is necessary to set the warehouse priority. The priority setting tells the Ozon system which warehouse should be preferred for delivery when there are multiple optional warehouses in the same area. The lower the priority value, the higher the priority, and the system will give priority to shipping from this warehouse.
By default, the priority of the first created warehouse is “1”, which means that the system will give priority to this warehouse for delivery.
For example, suppose a seller has two warehouses, located in Moscow and St. Petersburg, which can deliver to Moscow Oblast. If it is more convenient to ship from the warehouse in Moscow and the goods in that warehouse have been shipped out, then the system should choose to ship from the warehouse in St. Petersburg. In this case, the priority value of the warehouse located in Moscow should be set to “1”, while the priority value of the warehouse located in St. Petersburg should be set to “2”.
2. How to set warehouse priority?
Here are the steps to set warehouse priority on the Ozon platform:
Log in to your Ozon seller account.
Go to the “Logistics” menu and select “Warehouses and Methods”.
In the “Warehouses and Methods” page, find the warehouse for which you want to set priority and click “Edit”.
In the warehouse edit page, find the “Priority” field and click “Configure from File”.
Download and open the configuration template.
Fill in the corresponding warehouse priority in the template. You can change the priority values of different warehouses as needed.
