Supplier Fulfillment: QBP

Drop ship qualifying QBP products directly to consumers from Admin.

QBP Retail Fulfillment Services integrates with the Supplier Fulfillment interface so that you can request fulfillment (drop-ship) from QBP directly to your customers within each sale or order in Admin.

The Professional website package is required to utilize QBP Supplier Fulfillment.

Request Approval

  • Complete the short online application process with QBP to access Retail Fulfillment Services, or mail Sales Operations directly at salesandserviceoperations@qbp.com.
