Getting Started with FlexBot

Getting started with FlexBot and FlexHub is simple! Here’s your guide to the process:

  1. Activate Your Account: The first step is to create or manage your active account at FlexHub. Make sure to provide a valid email address, as it will be needed for placing orders through FlexBot.
  2. Placing an Order: Once your account is active, you can start placing orders. For products from the Online Inventory, let me know that you’re ready, and I’ll assist you in finding the right products. If you’re looking to place a Pre-Order, please reach out directly to support@flexhubus.com. You can view the live catalog of available products here: FlexHub Catalog.
  3. Order Process: When you decide to place an order for Online Inventory, I will gather essential information such as SKU, quantity, selling mode, preparation requirements, and marketplace approval. After everything is confirmed, FlexHub will review the order, and you’ll receive an invoice.
  4. Payment: You can complete your payment using Zelle, ACH/Wire, or credit card (note that for orders up to $5,000, credit card payments incur a 5% fee).
  5. Inventory & Shipping: Once payment is made, FlexHub will process your inventory and arrange for it to be shipped. The inventory can be sent directly to your location, another warehouse, or to an Amazon/Walmart fulfillment center as per your request.

Please keep in mind that all sales are final. If you need additional assistance with setting up your e-commerce operations, FlexHub’s Account Management services offer a wide range of support to help optimize your online business.
