Prepare Your Shipper Application

Gather the exact business, facility, service, schedule, plan, and verification decisions needed before starting the six-step registration wizard.

Who can do this

• Anyone can use the checklist.
• Only a verified Shipper owner enters and submits the data.

Before you start

• Confirm that the Shipper role fits and choose the legal individual/business account type.
• Use a secure device and have access to the email and phone used for verification.

Steps

1. Account packet: owner legal name, continuing email, verified phone, individual/business choice, business name/type/license/tax ID when applicable, profile logo/photo, and at least one clear warehouse/storage photo.
2. Location packet: every operating address, country/region/postal data, storage type, warehouse size, SKU capacity, dock/residential/facility characteristics, coordinates/address selection, and which location is default for inbound receiving and returns.
3. Service packet: at least one receiving service and one fulfillment service, optional return/removal/add-ons, pricing currency, price model, driver unit, base allowances/additional rates or tiers, and subservice inclusion.
4. Schedule packet: time zone, normal processing time, Monday-Thursday and Friday cutoffs, weekend availability/cutoffs, carrier drop-off/pickup methods and times, inbound receiving days/hours/processing, appointment rule, return timeframes, and blocked dates.
5. Plan packet: current plan/cycle choice, expected order volume and number of warehouse locations, plan payment card for a paid choice, and default client account type for how new clients will pay after approval.
6. Verification packet: driver license for an individual plus government ID if address mismatch requires it, or business-registration and tax-ID documents for a business. Ensure images are legible and current.
7. Create the Shipper account and verify email first. During the wizard, save accurate values, read each blocker, and revisit dependent fields when a location, service, plan, or account type changes.
8. Before Complete Registration, review all six step summaries and confirm public-facing text/photos contain no secrets, prices have units, every selected service is supported, and the selected plan is intentional.

Fields and decisions

• Phone verification is separate from email verification and must pass before Account Information is complete.
• Business accounts require business identity fields and business documents; individual accounts follow driver-license/address verification.
• At least one location must be marked default shipment receiving. Return receiving must point to a capable location before the service can be offered.
• Every selected service requires saved pricing. A checked service without a pricing record blocks the application.
• Carrier pickup requires at least one enabled carrier and a pickup time for every enabled carrier. Drop-off requires its time.
• A paid plan requires a card before moving to Verification; free/no-price choices do not use the plan-card blocker.
• Only upload requested identity/business documents through the designated verification control.

Finished when

• All required information is available before the wizard and no step depends on a guess or placeholder.
• The owner can complete the six steps without stopping to locate documents, prices, schedules, or facility facts.

What this changes

• Preparation itself changes nothing.
• Data entered and submitted becomes the application reviewed by Fulfield and can feed the approved public/service profile.

Common problems

You do not know which location should be default receiving.

Choose the facility that will normally accept client inbound shipments; do not choose a billing or mailing-only address.

You cannot price a selected service yet.

Leave unsupported optional services unselected or finish the pricing decision before submission. Do not use zero/placeholder pricing unless it is genuinely the intended price and allowed.

An individual license address differs from the warehouse.

Prepare the additional government ID requested by the address-mismatch flow and accurate ownership/rental evidence if the screen requests it.

A paid plan is selected but no card is available.

Choose an appropriate current free/no-charge option if it truly fits, or return after an authorized plan payment method is ready.

Safety checks

• Do not gather or share passwords, verification codes, full payment-card data, or unrelated personal files as part of the application packet.
• Do not use stock warehouse photos or another business facility information.
• Do not promise service schedules or capacity that depend on unconfirmed staff, carriers, or space.

When to contact support

• Contact support when the correct legal account type has no suitable document path, an address/country cannot be represented, or a required service/pricing model is unavailable. Include the step/field name, not sensitive document contents.
