During the holiday season season, you may experience an increase in sales volume. We compiled a list of best practices to help you prepare and successfully manage your seller-fulfilled orders during the holiday season. Please see our last post in the series HERE.

Check your inventory regularly

Update your inventory so customers cannot place orders for out-of-stock items, especially if you sell in multiple channels. Ensure you have enough inventory to fulfill your sales and avoid order cancellations due to inventory shortage. For more information on how to manage your inventory, go to Seller University.

Staffing and handling time

Review your staffing plans to ensure you have enough capacity to ship during the holiday season.

Be prepared for an increase in order volume during key sales periods, including the run-up to the holiday season.

Configure your Order Handling Capacity to have an additional day of Handling Time when your limit is reached.
