How VvB works in Channable

VvB orders use Fulfillment by Retailer (FBR), since inventory is stored by the seller and brought to a bol logistics point. From there, bol handles the final delivery to your customer.

Channable can only report orders to your webshop backend and append VvB to your bol orders. All other shipping actions, including creating shipping labels and marking VvB orders as shipped are managed in your bol account.

Set Delivery codes for VvB items

In the Build step of your bol channel, the Delivery code attribute indicates the maximum delivery window (delivery promise) for customers.

All my items use VvB

If all your items use VvB, you can blanket-apply the VvB static field to all your items.

1. In [your bol channel], go to the Build step.

2. For Fulfillment, select Static values > FBR.

3. At Delivery code click the dropdown and select Static values > VvB.

4. Click Save.

Part of my items use VvB

If you sell both VvB and non-VvB items, you need to map a field containing your delivery codes.

1. In [your bol channel], go to the Build step.

2. For Fulfillment, select a field that dynamically indicates the fulfillment type for your items.

3. At Delivery code click the dropdown.

4. Select a field that dynamically indicates the delivery code for your items.

5. Click Save.

Identify VvB orders

You can distinguish VvB orders from other bol orders in your order settings.

2. Click Settings in your bol order connection.

3. Click Advanced settings > Orders.

2. Click Settings in your bol order connection.

3. Click Advanced settings.

4. Click Shipment updates to expand the dropdown.

5. Change the setting to Disabled.
