Drop Shipping is a Quick Ship Order where a 3rd party drop ship vendor (the supplier) sends a purchased item straight to your customer. NikoHealth integrates with multiple Drop Ship vendors including McKesson, Cardinal Health, and Medline.

This article outlines the process for setting up and managing Drop Ship Vendors in your NikoHealth site.

Note: If you are new to NikoHealth or just learning about Drop Shipping in NikoHealth, we recommend you review our article on Understanding Quick Shipping in NikoHealth prior to reading this article and setting up your Drop Ship Vendors.

Before you are able to fulfil an order through a drop ship vendor, you must have an account open with that vendor.

To connect a drop ship vendor to your NikoHealth site, please email integration@nikohealth.com with the following information:

The following drop ship vendors can be configured to your NikoHealth site to allow you to fulfil your orders and ship the products directly to your customers.

To setup a Drop Ship Vendor in NikoHealth, in the system, go to:

Management > Products and Suppliers > Vendors

Here, you'll see a list of any Drop Ship Vendors you have integrated into the system. To add a new Vendor, click the NikoHealth Blue Plus Sign. This will bring you to the Vendor Details screen where you can add information about your new Drop Ship Vendor. Be sure to complete all required fields marked with an *.

In the DropShip field, you'll see a list of Vendors you've connected to your NikoHealth account.

You may have multiple accounts with one Vendor. But you should still only add that Vendor to the system once. The account numbers will display during the QuickShip process so that you can select the correct one. As an example, if you have multiple McKesson accounts, you should only create one McKesson Drop Ship Vendor in the system. The multiple accounts will be visible for selection during the order Quick Ship process.)

After you've entered all Vendor information, click Save.
