How do Dear Inventory and Amazon Vendor work together?

You pick the system of truth (usually the ERP or store for stock). Wherehouse keeps Dear Inventory and Amazon Vendor in step: stock, orders and pricing flow with your rules, so you are not recapturing data between them. A dedicated account manager sets this up with example orders first.

Do you replace Dear Inventory?

No. Dear Inventory stays the hub. Wherehouse is the connection from marketplaces and stores into it, with your own business logic on top.

What about marketplace fees in Dear Inventory?

Where Dear Inventory can take them, fees ride along so a Takealot sale is not booked at sticker price. Combined with cost, you see what you actually kept.

Is this the same as selling on the Amazon Vendor marketplace?

No. This is the supplier / B2B side: purchase orders the retailer raises on you. Marketplace selling is a separate connection. Many brands run both, from the same Wherehouse account.

Is there a setup fee?

No. There are no setup fees on any plan. During onboarding we ingest your catalogue and sync a couple of test orders and products, so you know it works before you rely on it. You only pay once the account is live. Billed monthly. Cancel any time.

How long does onboarding take?

Usually 1 to 10 business days, depending on how many platforms you connect and how specific your rules are. A dedicated account manager sets it up with you. We run specified example orders first. Nothing automatic goes through until those are right.

Do I have to live in the Wherehouse dashboard?

No. Most sellers keep working in the store, ERP or seller portal they already know. Wherehouse runs in the background. The dashboard is there when you want one view of stock, orders, fees and sync history.

Your rules, not a generic sync

How it works

Connect both

Your Dear Inventory account and your Amazon Vendor account. You pick which one holds the truth.

See the flow

Stock, orders and pricing should move one way, on purpose. We map that to how you already operate, not a generic template.

Apply your rules

Buffers, price uplifts, which SKUs are allowed. A rule can apply to one platform and leave the other alone.

Purchase orders from Amazon Vendor - synced to Dear Inventory

Wherehouse ingests purchase orders raised by Amazon Vendor and lines them up with your fulfilment and invoicing flow, so you avoid retyping and spreadsheet handovers. Stock, pricing and catalogue automation on this channel depends on Amazon Vendor's integration model - the sections below spell out what is enabled for your stack.

Why it matters for suppliers

Faster PO to invoice - shorter turnaround helps you stay a preferred supplier and can mean more replenishment from the retailer.

Less admin, fewer errors - PO lines and references land in Dear Inventory, so finance and fulfilment stay in one system instead of copy-pasting between tools.

Fewer stock comebacks - Clean PO and line data through to picking and invoicing reduces mismatches, cancellations and service churn.

Commit stock to key retailers - Prioritise fulfilment and allocation rules for the channels that matter most, without maintaining a separate spreadsheet per retailer.

Custom business logic - mappings, pack sizes, lead times and approvals tuned to how you operate.

One place for every channel - Dear Inventory, marketplaces, retail B2B and your own stores can all report into Wherehouse so sales, stock and fulfilment stay coherent instead of siloed per partner.

For Amazon Vendor, this integration can include inbound purchase orders from the retailer.
