Overview

Ordrly is a wholesale marketplace that connects retailers directly with brands, providing the infrastructure needed to discover products, negotiate deals, place orders, and manage inventory from a single platform.

This guide walks retailers through the steps required to start purchasing products on Ordrly and managing their wholesale relationships.

1. Create Your Retailer Account

Retailers begin by creating a business account on Ordrly.

During signup you will provide:

• Business name
• Store location
• Contact information
• Business type

Your business profile helps brands understand your store and determine whether their products are a good fit for your shelves.

2. Discover Brands & Products

Once your account is active, you can browse brands and products across the Ordrly marketplace.

Discovery tools allow retailers to:

• Search products by category
• Browse brand catalogs
• Evaluate verified buyer reviews
• Compare pricing and wholesale terms

This discovery process helps retailers identify products that match their store’s audience and merchandising strategy.

3. Connect with Brands

Retailers and brands establish connections before orders are placed.

Connections enable:

• Access to wholesale pricing
• Deal negotiation
• Custom pricing tiers
• Net Terms credit options

Retailers can send connection invitations to brands directly from their catalog pages.

4. Place Wholesale Orders

After connecting with a brand, retailers can place wholesale orders directly through the platform.

Orders may include:

• Multiple products
• Case pack quantities
• Minimum order requirements
• Custom pricing agreements

Retailers can pay using card, ACH, or approved Net Terms depending on the brand’s payment policies.

5. Track Orders & Deliveries

Retailers can monitor order progress through the Orders dashboard.

Order tracking includes:

• Order approval status
• Shipment tracking
• Delivery confirmations
• Invoice status

Shipment updates are automatically recorded once fulfillment providers generate tracking numbers.

6. Manage Inventory & Reordering

Ordrly helps retailers manage inventory through demand forecasting and replenishment recommendations.

The platform analyzes sales patterns and generates reorder suggestions for products that are likely to run out of stock.

Retailers can approve, modify, or reject these recommendations before placing new purchase orders.

7. Manage Returns

If a product does not meet expectations, retailers can initiate returns through the Returns dashboard.

The system allows retailers to:

• Submit return requests
• Generate return labels
• Track reimbursement status

Return eligibility and reimbursement policies are determined by the brand or marketplace program.

8. Monitor Payments & Invoices

Retailers can view invoices, payment history, and outstanding balances through the financial dashboard.

If Net Terms are enabled, invoices must be paid within the configured payment window.
