Vendors: Setting Up Your Store
Overview: Two Ways to Sell
Demeter Earth offers two different seller experiences depending on your needs:
- Setup Dashboard (Professional) – Ideal for farms and other business operations. This backend tool lets you set up local pickup and delivery zones, configure shipping rates, sync your website, and manage invoices. It’s a one‑time setup that gives you full control over your logistics and inventory.
 - Sell Button (C2C Dashboard) – A simplified interface for casual sellers or customers who decide to list items. It allows you to add products, manage orders, chat with buyers, and check payouts—all from a convenient dashboard on the Demeter Earth site.
 
Think of the Setup Dashboard as your “pro seller” panel and the Sell button as the “everyday seller” panel.
Step 1: Setup Dashboard (Professional Setup)
Go to app.shipturtle.com and log in using your vendor credentials. Save it to your phone’s Home Screen—it’s a PWA (Progressive Web App).

🔐 Login: Use the same login credentials from signup
📲 Tip: Save it to your phone’s Home Screen—it’s also a PWA (Progressive Web App)!
What you can configure here:
1. Profile Settings – Update your display name, time zone, language, and password.
2. Company Details – Add your store name, logo, brand description, website URL, and other information.

3. Warehouses (Local Pickup & Serviceable Radius Settings)
- Navigate to Settings → Warehouses → Add Warehouse.
 
- Enter your pickup address and enable Default Warehouse and Offer Pickup from Default Warehouse.

 

- 
Specify a serviceable radius, click Fetch Pins/Zips to auto‑assign zip codes, then save.
Note: Leaving the radius blank assumes you will ship nationwide, and your products will not show up in local searches.
 
4. Delivery & Shipping – Create shipping profiles to set delivery rates (within your service radius) or shipping rates (nationwide). Rates can be based on weight, price, or a flat fee. Include product dimensions and weight so rates calculate correctly at checkout.


5. Invoices – Customize invoice format and details under Settings → Invoices

6. Website Sync (Optional): 
Have a Shopify Store? You can now sync your website with your Demeter Earth store so products and inventory update automatically.
- Click Vendor Website Sync in the menu bar.
 - Click the Connect button under the Shopify icon.
 - A Shopify prompt will pop up asking if you want to connect your store. Click Connect.
 
That’s it! Your products and inventory will begin syncing automatically.
This feature is included at no extra cost and can be disconnected anytime.
This professional dashboard is best for sellers who need robust logistics (pickup/delivery zones and shipping) and advanced storefront management.
Step 2: Sell Button (C2C Dashboard)
Once your store is configured—or if you’re a customer who wants to start selling—use the Sell button on demeterearth.com. This dashboard is ideal for casual or occasional sellers and provides a streamlined experience.
📍 Visit: demeterearth.com → Click Sell in the main menu.

What you can do here:
- 
Add Products – Upload photos, add descriptions, set prices, and track quantities

 - Manage Orders & Fulfillment – View incoming orders, print shipping labels, and track delivery/pickup status
 - Print shipping labels – Print shipping labels and schedule carrier pickups.
 - Chat with customers – Communicate directly with buyers through the messaging feature.
 - View payouts – See your earnings and scheduled payouts at a glance
 

- 
Edit Profile – Update your personal bio, social links, and other basic information
