We aim to ensure that you are notified immediately when a customer makes a purchase for your product. As soon as you receive a new order, you will be notified in 3 separate ways : 

1. Dashboard Bell: Check your dashboard notification bell and process orders with a click.
   
   ‎
2. Email Alerts: Receive automatic emails for new orders, including purchase orders generated by Borong.

   
   ‎

3. WhatsApp Notification: Stay in the loop with WhatsApp alerts via Borong’s Sellers Support WhatsApp Chat.
    

To view a list of your orders along with the relevant information, follow the steps below.
‎

1. Go to your Supplier Dashboard and under “Orders”, click on “To Process”. Here, you can view your order history and information for every order.
   
   ‎
   
2. Click on the Supplier Order ID (ie: #XXXXX-XXXX), or click on “View”  to view specific order information you want and the list of products.
   
   ‎
3. View the (A) order details in this section. If you wish to download your purchase order, click on (B) “Download PO”. You may choose to (C) confirm or reject an order based on your capability. This will change the order status.
   
   ‎
4.  If you reject an order, a pop-up will appear for you to fill in your reason. If you choose to reject the order, the reason behind your decision will be shared with the customer who placed the order. For example, if your product is out of stock, please say so under “Reason”.
   

   Do note that rejecting an order for no valid reason on multiple occasions will affect your seller ratings. However, if you choose to confirm your order, you may proceed to fulfil it and arrange for shipping.

Partial Fulfillment

Follow these steps to fulfill your order partially.

1. Click on the “Partial Fulfilment” button above the order information. You will be asked to specify the quantity of the product that you’d like to deliver.
   
   Click “confirm” once you’ve entered the information.
2. The buyer will receive an email of a Partial Fulfilment request, which they must accept or reject.
   • If the buyer rejects the request, the order will be cancelled.
     
   • If the buyer accepts the request, you may continue with the shipping process.
     (If you haven’t fulfilled the entire order, repeat the steps to specify the next quantity of products you’d like to deliver.)
     .
3. For your partial fulfilment, you have the option of choosing your own logistics partner to deliver your products, provided you have an account with them. Here’s a guide to do so:

1. 1. On your supplier dashboard, click on “Fulfilment.” Under “Manage Shipping Method,” you may activate the providers you have accounts with.
      
      
   2. You may set your rate cards, based on the location for your deliveries (appointed by zones), and the weight of the products.
   3. Once you’re done, these options will be available to you for your order fulfilment. You may choose them as your shipping methods to deliver the products ordered by your customers. 

2  Complete Fulfillment

There are 3 options that are available for sellers to fulfil orders on the marketplace.

1. Self Pick-up: Customers can physically collect their orders from your warehouse when they are ready. If you click “Yes” on the “Self Pick-up” option during the product upload process, they will be able to select that option when checking out.

We work with some of the biggest providers in the industry who are experienced in fulfilling orders of all kinds of products. This option is the most popular choice by both sellers and buyers.
