Recently, the shopee platform is inLocalized fulfillment three-party warehouse model (i.e., 3pf shop).On the basis of the foundation, it has been supported onlineLocalized fulfillment of the three-party warehouse of one store multi-shipment model (i.e., 3pf pff shop).。Sellers in third-party warehouses who have completed the upgrade of the inventory management mode can manage their addresses through the warehouse dimension, opening a new three-party warehouse and one store multi-transportation model.
At present, the ERP system has completed the PFF function adaptation and upgrade, which can support Shopee 3PF PFF one-store multi-operation mode.
The 3PF PFF model not only provides sellers with more flexible and convenient inventory management tools, but also brings new possibilities to store operationsIt can also help sellers manage their stores efficiently, save operating costs, and improve store conversion.
The 3PF PFF (three-party warehouse, one store, multiple shipments) model supports sellers to set up an overseas local warehouse inventory and a cross-border warehouse inventory for products in a single store at the same time.
When the local warehouse inventory is exhausted and the product has cross-border warehouse inventory, the fulfillment will be carried out through the cross-border small package mode, and the API call process of the fulfillment order will not change, but the warehouse origin cannot be changed after the order is generated.
1. Sales reviews are shared globally
With the support of the PFF model, the sales evaluation of global products can be shared across sites. Sellers are able to track the sales of products on various sites and product reviews in real time, so as to understand different market needs and consumer demands, so as to develop inventory and chain plans to meet the specific needs of each market.
2. The permission splitting of sub-accounts and accounts is more secure
Sellers can create sub-accounts from the main account, and set different roles for different sub-accounts to manage different stores separately to ensure store security. In addition, the parent account can also view the operation records and performance data of the sub-accounts separately, making store management more transparent and controllable.
3. One store with multiple shipments is more flexible
Old cross-border stores and old 3pf stores can be transferred to PFF stores to achieve local goods and local first;If there is no goods locally but there are goods across the border, the goods will be shipped from across the border.
There are many instabilities in the new product itself, and when the market potential is not clear, the seller can store a small amount of goods in the domestic warehouse, and test the market potential of the new product first through cross-border small package delivery, so as to reduce the risk of stockpiling in the seller's local warehouse.
If the data of the small package is considerable, it is a potential product, and the product can be prepared to an overseas local warehouse, and the product link can be changed to local delivery, and its sales evaluation weight can be directly inherited and continuously filed.
In addition, in case of a sudden out-of-stock of stable explosive products, you can send them directly through the domestic cross-border small package mode and relay the arrival of local inventory, which can avoid the problem of declining the weight of store links.
The PFF model will be a long-term plan for "one product with multiple warehouses", which is expected to be expanded in 24 years, and "one product with multiple warehouses" can diversify warehouse risks, so that sellers can avoid other emergencies during the transition period.
PF PFF business model definition
3PF PFF (3PF One Store Multi-Shipment) = CB 3PF (Cross-border Tripartite Warehouse) + CB SLS (Cross-border Direct Mail), that is, 1 3PF PFF store is associated with 1 cross-border warehouse and 1 overseas local warehouse to correspond to cross-border and local shipping addresses.
PF PFF order fulfillment mode
3PF PFF stores will prioritize delivery from local inventory, and when the local inventory consumption is 0, the order route will be transferred to cross-border inventory. However, it is not possible to change the warehouse origin after the order has been generated.
How the PFF PFF order commission fee is charged
The commission rate is charged according to the order dimension, and the cross-border SLS commission fee is charged for cross-border inventory orders, and the cross-border 3PF commission fee is charged for local inventory orders. When the order is generated, the commission fee is automatically calculated by directly distinguishing between cross-border inventory and local inventory, and there is no longer a need to adjust the return.
PF PFF order last-mile logistics charges
If there is a split order in Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, that is, an order is split into 2 packages (cross-border parcel + local parcel), the buyer needs to pay two logistics and transportation costs accordingly.
Does PFF PFF order use Shopee to support logistics services?
If there is no special application, basically sellers in the Southeast Asian market need to use Shopee to support logistics services (SLS logistics is used for cross-border inventory delivery, and 3PF logistics is used for local inventory delivery).
PF PFF Residency Mode
Pure 3PF and 3PF PFF modes are parallel, and 3PF PFF is submitted by the seller to join the application independently.
PF PFF's active lock inventory logic
Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam sites: active lockable inventory Total inventory of cross-border warehouse + local warehouse.
Singapore and Indonesia sites: Active lockable inventory The maximum value of a single inventory in a cross-border warehouse or a local warehouse (local inventory is locked first, and cross-border inventory is locked after the local inventory is consumed).
Does PF PFF support order splitting, that is, there are products in an order that are shipped out of the cross-border warehouse and the local warehouse respectively?
Singapore and Indonesia sites: Split shipping is not supported, that is, products in an order cannot be shipped from cross-border inventory and local inventory at the same time. The Singapore and Indonesia sites support priority shipments of local inventory, and new orders are automatically shipped from cross-border inventory when local inventory is exhausted.
Because the cross-border goods** and local goods** at the front desk of the Singapore and Indonesia sites are different, there is a GST at the Singapore site and an import tax at the Indonesian site.
Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam: Support split shipping, that is, support the shipment of products in one order from cross-border inventory and local inventory at the same time.
In the case of PF PFF order splitting, will Shopee automatically generate two orders after automatic order splitting?
That's right, if different warehouses fulfill the contract, the platform system will automatically split it into two orders and generate two tracking numbers for the buyer.
10. How to maintain the warehouse address of China Seller Center?
In December 2023, the platform will uniformly migrate the existing seller's warehouse address information, and the seller will modify, add and delete it by himself.
PF PFF order system docking mode
After the buyer places an order, the seller confirms the order and synchronizes the order information to the platform through the China Seller Central ERP, and the platform arranges the last-mile logistics according to the seller's store logistics settings. For orders that meet the conditions for door-to-door pickup at the corresponding site, 3PL will be picked up according to the seller's appointment for door-to-door pickup. Orders that do not meet the conditions for door-to-door pickup require the seller to deliver to the designated pickup point or apply for a self-delivery channel.
12. If the inventory data is inaccurate and the order is shipped from local inventory, but in fact the local inventory has been consumed, can the seller manually switch to cross-border inventory shipment?
After the order has been generated, neither the platform nor the seller can change the origin of the order.
