Step 1: Onboarding Member Journey Portal
Welcome Aboard - We’re thrilled to be part of your E-commerce Drop-shipping journey! With the endless aisle now at your fingertips, you can offer your customers more choices than ever before.
Each garden center member is provided with a dedicated onboarding portal that clearly tracks milestones throughout the program, so you always know where you are and what’s coming next—no guessing, no chasing updates. You can also comment and communicate with us directly in this portal.
This portal is tailored to your specific situation based on your current tech stack, whether you already have an e-commerce site, need one built, or simply need help setting up integrations. It serves as your single source of truth, guiding you through required supplier applications, next steps, and key deadlines, while also housing important links, resources, and program FAQs.
The goal is simple: keep the journey organized, transparent, and moving forward without unnecessary back-and-forth.
Step 2: Something to Consider, Employee Readiness & Vendor Training Alignment!
How are you training your garden center employees when you start drop-shipping and selling new brands online?
Selling plants and products online requires the same level of training and product knowledge your employees need on the sales floor—there’s no shortcut just because the transaction happens digitally. When you introduce new brands in your garden center, education should follow, ensuring your team understands what they’re selling and can confidently support customers online just as they would in-store.
For members currently using our intranet platforms, ConnectSpace or GroupSpace, we’ve built out more in our vendor training through each supplier’s business page, providing brand-specific education and resources that can be added directly into your internal training modules. As you visit our intranet solutions, browse the training areas. We believe that an educated staff impacts your overall sales greatly.
For those not yet using our intranet solutions, we strongly encourage you to ask about this platform to help with your internal operations and how it can connect back to our E-Commerce Connect program.
🖥️ Take a moment and watch some testimonials.
This is where the real advantage shows up for you and your employees we’re building..."A Digitally Connected Ecosystem of Collaboration and Commerce" that supports more than just the e-commerce drop-shipping in your business. By tying vendor education, tools, and resources back into your internal operations, we make it easier to train, support, and empower your employees—online and in-store alike.
