Vendors: Setting Up Your Store

šŸ› ļø

To get your store fully up and running on Demeter Earth, you'll start with theĀ Setup Dashboard on the backend to sync your website and configure key fulfillment details like local pickup, delivery, and shipping. After that, you can manage everything day-to-day from theĀ SellĀ button on the homepage (a simplified interface for product listings, orders, chats, and payouts).

šŸ”‘ Step 1: Setup Dashboard (Initial Setup)

This is where youā€™ll sync your website (if you already have a website), configureĀ fulfillment zones (pickup/delivery), shipping, and invoices. You only need to do this once during setupā€”after that, you can manage everything from the Sell button.

šŸ“ Visit: app.shipturtle.com

šŸ” Login: Use the same login credentials from signup
šŸ“² Tip: Save it to your phoneā€™s Home Screenā€”itā€™s also a PWA (Progressive Web App)!

āœ… What You Can Set Up Here:

1. Profile Settings
Edit your profile name, time zone, language, and password.

2. Company Details
Add your store name, logo, brand name, website, and more.

Ā 

3. Warehouses (Local Pickup & Serviceable Radius Settings)

  • Go to Settings ā†’ Warehouses ā†’ Add Warehouse
  • Fill in your Pickup Address

Enable:

āœ… Make this warehouse default

āœ… Offer Pickup from Default Warehouse



  • Enter your Serviceable Radius (in kilometers)
  • Click Fetch Pins/Zips to auto-assign zip codes
  • Click Next, then save the return address

šŸ”” Important: This step makes your store visible to nearby customers for pickup and/or delivery. Only leave the Serviceable Radius blank if you intend to ship nationwide.

4. Delivery & Shipping

  • Go to Settings ā†’ Shipping Profile
  • To add your delivery and/or shipping rates, go to Shipping Profiles and click Add Shipping Profile. If you entered in a Serviceable Radius in your Warehouse, these will be your delivery rates. If not, these will be your shipping rates.
  • Rates can be based on total weight, total price, or a flat rate. Be sure to add dimensions and weight to your product listings so your shipping rates are calculated accurately at customer checkout.


5. Invoices

  • Go to Settings ā†’ Invoices
  • Configure your invoice format and details



6. Website Sync:
Have a Shopify Store? You can now sync your website with your Demeter Earth store so products and inventory update automatically.

  1. Click Vendor Website Sync in the menu bar.
  2. Click the Connect button under the Shopify icon.
  3. A Shopify prompt will pop up asking if you want to connect your store. Click Connect.

Thatā€™s it! Your products and inventory will begin syncing automatically.

This feature is included at no extra cost and can be disconnected anytime.

āœ… Step 2: Sell Button (Everyday Use)

Once your store is configured, it can be easily managed through the Sell button on the homepage to list products, manage orders, and chat with customers.

šŸ“ Visit: demeterearth.com ā†’ Click SellĀ in the main menu.

šŸ›ļø What You Can Do in the Sell Dashboard:

  • Add products (photos, descriptions, pricing, quantity)

  • Manage orders and fulfillment
  • Print shipping labels
  • Chat with customers
  • View payouts



  • Edit your bio, social links, and general profile


You can always go back to the setup dashboard at app.shipturtle.com if you need to update website sync, warehouse, fulfillment or invoice settings.Ā
