# Seller Onboarding Guide

This guide walks sellers through setting up an FBPI Integration Warehouse and connecting it to a noon-approved integrator or direct webhook. By the end, your warehouse will be active and ready to receive live orders.

## What You Will Not Need to Do

- **No code to write** — if you connect via a noon-approved integrator, they handle the API implementation on your behalf.
- **No webhook retry logic to implement** — noon retries failed deliveries automatically.
- **No manual stock or pricing updates** — if you use an integrator, they sync stock and pricing via API on your behalf.

## Phase 1 — Account and Store Registration

Register your organization and store on noon and obtain API credentials.

**Guide:** [Partner Onboarding][partner-onboarding]

**Done when:** Your Partner ID, store project, and basic catalog are visible in Seller Lab, and you have API credentials from the [noon API access portal][partner-api-access].

---

## Phase 2 — Warehouse Setup

Create and configure your FBPI Integration Warehouse and connect it to your integrator or webhook.

**Guide:** [Warehouse Setup][fbpi/warehouse-setup]

**Done when:** Your warehouse status shows **Active** in Seller Lab.

---

## Phase 3 — Product and Inventory Setup

List your product catalog and push inventory and pricing so noon can route orders to your warehouse.

**Guide:** [Product and Inventory Setup][fbpi/product-inventory]

**Done when:** Your products are in stock and priced correctly as shown in Seller Lab.

---

## Phase 4 — Order Flow Validation

Process a test order end to end — from receiving the order notification to creating a shipment and completing a manifest.

**Guide:** [Order Flow][fbpi/order-flow]

**Done when:** Your test shipment has a valid AWB and the manifest is marked complete in Seller Lab.

---

## Phase 5 — Dashboard Review

Confirm that webhook attempts, acknowledgments, and order statuses are correctly reflected before going live.

**Guide:** [FBPI Dashboard][fbpi/dashboard]

**Done when:** Your test order shows a successful webhook acknowledgment in the Orders Dashboard.
