Overview
Reseller Workflow is sellerboard’s end-to-end tool for resellers who source products from suppliers and sell them on Amazon. It guides you through the entire business process — starting with scanning products or importing a buy list, then moving through listing offers, entering COGS, printing labels, and creating inbound FBA shipments. Whether you sell via FBA or FBM, this workflow helps you move from sourcing to shipping faster while staying fully integrated with sellerboard’s profitability and inventory tools.
You can find Reseller Workflow in the left navigation under Inventory → Reseller Workflow.
Note: Reseller Workflow is currently in beta.
The Workflow List
The main page shows all your workflows (batches) in a table. Each row represents one sourcing batch and displays the following columns:
Workflow name — the name of the batch, typically auto-generated from the date and channel (e.g., “RW-15/12/2029- FBM”). Clicking this or using Edit opens the workflow detail page.
Supplier — the supplier associated with this batch, if one was selected when the workflow was created.
Start date — the date the batch started. This is also used as the COGS effective date for FIFO inventory accounting. Click the column header to sort by date.
Products — the number of distinct products in the batch, shown as “Products: X”. Clicking this text opens a quick popover showing each product’s thumbnail image, ASIN, SKU, and product name.
Units — the total number of units across all products in the batch.
Total cost — the total cost of all units in the batch (units × COGS per unit).
Marketplace — the Amazon marketplace the batch is targeted at (e.g., Amazon.com).
Channel — whether the batch is for FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) or FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant).
Status — a color-coded badge showing the current status of the workflow. A green badge with a checkmark indicates Closed (the workflow is complete). A gray badge with a pencil icon indicates Draft (the workflow is still in progress).
Actions — a three-dot (⋯) menu offering Edit (opens the workflow detail page) and Delete (permanently removes the workflow).
Searching and Filtering
The toolbar above the table provides several ways to narrow the list:
Search — the search box on the left filters workflows by name or supplier as you type.
Channel filter — the channel dropdown (defaulting to “FBA”) lets you filter the list by fulfillment channel: All channels, FBA, FBM, or FBA and FBM.
Marketplace filter — the marketplace dropdown (showing “All marketplaces” by default) lets you filter to a specific Amazon marketplace.
Date range — clicking the date range button opens a two-month calendar picker where you can set a custom From and To date range to display only workflows starting within that period.
Filter — the Filter button on the far right opens an advanced filter panel for additional options.
Creating a New Workflow
Click + Create workflow at the bottom of the page to open the “Create a new batch” dialog. This dialog has the following fields:
Batch name — an auto-generated name based on the current date and time (e.g., “RW2026-03-27 07:53”). You can rename it to anything that helps you identify the batch later.
Start date — defaults to today’s date. This becomes the effective date for the FIFO batch created from this workflow. Change it to match the date you purchased or received the products.
Supplier — an optional dropdown to associate the batch with one of your existing suppliers. Existing suppliers are listed alphabetically. If you need to add a new supplier on the fly, select “+ Add new supplier” from the bottom of the dropdown, which opens the New Supplier form (see Supplier Management below).
Channel — select FBA or FBM depending on how you plan to fulfill orders from this batch.
Marketplace — select the Amazon marketplace (e.g., Amazon.com, Amazon.ca) you’re sourcing for.
Import product data — optionally pre-populate the product list by clicking “Select file or buy list.” This opens the Import product data dialog where you can:
- Download a template — get an .xls file pre-filled with your product list structure to use as a guide
- Upload a file — drag & drop or browse for an .xls or .csv file
- Import from Google Sheets — paste a Google Sheets URL (ensure sharing permissions allow access)
- Select a buy list — import from a buy list created using the Barcode Scanner tool in the sellerboard mobile app
Click + Create a batch to create the workflow and open it in detail view, or Cancel to close without saving.
The Workflow Detail Page
Opening a workflow (by clicking Edit or clicking the workflow name) takes you to the detail page where all the work happens.
Header Fields
At the top of the detail page, you can edit the core batch metadata at any time:
- Batch name — editable text field
- Start date — date picker
- Supplier — dropdown to associate or change the supplier
- Marketplace — the destination marketplace (read-only display)
- Channel — the fulfillment channel (read-only display)
The Step-Based Wizard (FBA Workflows)
For FBA workflows, the detail page includes a 6-step progress bar at the top:
Step 1 — Products & offers: Add and configure all products in the batch.
Step 2 — Prep details: Specify product preparation requirements (labeling, boxing, etc.) that Amazon needs for the inbound shipment.
Step 3 — Packing groups: Group products by box type or packing configuration.
Step 4 — Box content: Enter the specific contents and quantities per box.
Step 5 — Shipments: Review the shipment plan generated by Amazon and confirm.
Step 6 — Tracking details: Enter carrier and tracking information to complete the shipment.
FBM workflows do not have the multi-step wizard since FBM products ship directly to customers without going through Amazon fulfillment.
The Products Table
The main content area is a table listing all products in the batch. Each row contains:
Product — thumbnail image, ASIN, SKU number, and product name. Below the name, a summary line shows the current listing price, COGS, and fulfillment channel (e.g., “Price: $9.99 · COGS: $2.00 · FBA”), with the marketplace flag icon.
SKU — the Amazon seller SKU for the product (editable field).
Units — the number of units in this batch for this product (editable).
Price — the current Amazon listing price for the product (editable). This is the price at which you plan to sell.
Condition — a dropdown to specify product condition (e.g., New). Defaults to New.
Expiration date — a date picker for products with expiration dates. Amazon requires that expiration dates be at least 105 days from today’s date.
COGS — the cost of goods sold per unit (editable). This is what you paid the supplier per unit.
Dangerous goods regulations — indicates whether the product has any dangerous goods classifications.
Are batteries required? — flags whether the product requires batteries.
Listing offer status — shows whether your offer for this product is currently active on Amazon. A green “Listed” badge means the offer is live. A dash means the offer is not yet active.
Actions — a column with an info (ⓘ) icon. Hovering over the icon shows a reminder: “Please note: Not all products can be sold on Amazon. Some categories and brands require approval, while certain items are restricted. Check your Seller Central account for eligibility before listing.”
Item labels — a print icon that lets you print FBA item labels for that specific product row.
Delete — an × button to remove the product from the batch.
Adding Products
At the bottom of the product table is an “Add new product” row with a search field. You can search your existing catalog by product name, ASIN, or SKU to add products.
Bottom Action Bar
The action bar at the bottom of the detail page contains:
Add new product — opens the product search to add another product to the batch.
Add from PO — populates the product list from an existing Purchase Order.
Import — opens the Import product data dialog to bulk-import products from a file, Google Sheets, or buy list.
Print labels — prints FBA item labels for all products in the batch (available on FBA workflows).
Save — saves the current state of the batch without advancing.
Close — returns to the workflow list without saving unsaved changes.
Save batch — on FBM workflows (or when not advancing through steps), saves the completed batch configuration.
Next — on FBA workflows, advances to the next step. When clicking Next from Step 1, a dialog appears asking: “Do you want to create a new FIFO batch?” with the explanation “A batch will be created for all products in your workflow starting from the selected start date and allocated to the chosen marketplace.” You can choose to Create batch (recommended — this updates your COGS using FIFO accounting), or Proceed without FIFO batch to continue without updating COGS.
The FIFO Batch Integration
One of the most important features of Reseller Workflow is its integration with sellerboard’s FIFO inventory accounting. When you advance through the workflow and confirm a FIFO batch creation, sellerboard:
- Records the cost per unit you paid for the sourced products
- Assigns that COGS to the correct inventory batch
- Uses the FIFO method to match future sales to the correct batch, ensuring accurate profit calculations in the Profit dashboard
This ensures that your profit reports in sellerboard automatically reflect the actual cost of the inventory you sourced — especially important when you buy the same product at different prices from different suppliers or at different times.
Supplier Management
When creating or editing a workflow, you can associate it with a supplier. If the supplier doesn’t exist yet, selecting “+ Add new supplier” from the Supplier dropdown opens the New Supplier form, which includes:
- Supplier name
- Currency (supports USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, JPY, CNY, and many more)
- Contact name
- Address
- Skype
- Phone
- Website
- Payment terms
- Due date
- Comment
Suppliers you create here are also available across other sellerboard features like Purchase Orders.
Using the Barcode Scanner (Mobile App Integration)
sellerboard’s mobile app includes a Barcode Scanner tool that lets you scan products while you’re physically at a supplier’s location (such as a retail store or warehouse). Scanned items are saved as a “buy list” in the app. When creating or importing into a Reseller Workflow, you can select one of these buy lists to instantly populate the product table with everything you scanned — including quantities and prices captured at the point of scanning.
This makes the Reseller Workflow especially powerful for retail arbitrage and online arbitrage sellers who source in bulk from physical stores.
Workflow Statuses
Draft — the workflow is still being configured. Products can still be added, edited, or removed. The FBA shipping steps have not been completed.
Closed — the workflow is complete. All steps have been finished, the shipment has been created, and the COGS batch has been applied. A Closed workflow is read-only (you can view it but the ship steps are complete).
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Reseller Workflow designed for? Reseller Workflow is designed for resellers — sellers who source products from suppliers, retailers, or wholesalers and resell them on Amazon. It supports both FBA and FBM fulfillment models.
What is the difference between FBA and FBM workflows? An FBA workflow includes 6 steps that guide you through the full process of creating an inbound shipment to Amazon, including prep details, packing, and tracking. An FBM workflow is simpler — it only covers Steps 1 (Products & offers), as FBM orders ship directly from your location without going through Amazon’s fulfillment centers.
What does “Create FIFO batch” do when I advance to Step 2? It creates a cost batch in sellerboard’s inventory system, recording the cost per unit for all products in the workflow starting from the batch start date. This ensures your profit calculations in sellerboard correctly attribute the COGS of each unit sold to the batch it came from, using the FIFO (First In, First Out) method.
Can I import products instead of adding them manually? Yes. You can import products from an XLS or CSV file, from Google Sheets, or from a buy list created with the sellerboard mobile app’s Barcode Scanner. Use the “Select file or buy list” option when creating the workflow, or click “Import” inside the workflow detail page.
Can I associate a workflow with a purchase order? Yes. Click “Add from PO” in the bottom action bar of the workflow detail page to pull in products from an existing Purchase Order.
What is the Listing offer status column? It shows whether your Amazon offer for that product is currently active. A green “Listed” badge means the product is live and available to buy on Amazon. If you’re sourcing new products that aren’t listed yet, this will be blank until you create a listing.
Can I print FBA item labels directly from Reseller Workflow? Yes. You can print labels for an individual product using the print icon in the Item labels column, or print all labels for the batch using the “Print labels” button in the bottom action bar.
How do I delete a workflow? Click the three-dot (⋯) Actions menu on the workflow row in the list view and select Delete. Note that this permanently removes the workflow.
