A Drop-in is a small, light, flat item that is included one per shipment for every shipment. Typically, Drop-ins are either small stickers or postcards. Only one item per shipment may be considered a Drop-in.
To qualify as a Drop-in, the item:
must be no larger than 8.5" x 5.5" x 0.125" (L x W x H);
must weigh no more than 0.02 lbs;
will be included one per shipment in every eligible shipment;
cannot ship by itself; that is, a Drop-in always accompanies other items in a shipment;
can ship in any shipping container and cannot have an impact on containerization;
does not hold up shipments; that is, if inventory runs out of a particular Drop-in, shipments will continue to ship without them, and the Drop-in program will be suspended until the item is restocked by our Client or its supplier of that item.
Drop-ins also:
require unique SKUs;
are tracked in inventory;
appear on packing slips;
are subject to any applicable Receiving, Storage, and SKU Support Fees;
cannot be included in poster tubes.
Other Promotional Items
You may also add other (non-Drop-in) items to your shipments as promotions. These items will be considered picked items subject to normal fulfillment fees. Promotions are items that don't get added to every order or are going into every order but there is already 1 Drop-in.
How do I set up a Drop-in or Promotion in My.Amplifier?
Create the Item in my.amplifier;
Visit https://my.amplifier.com/settings/options/promotions to configure your Drop-in for automated inclusion in your orders.
Click +Promotion in upper right corner
There are 2 screens to complete:
Setup - This is where you'll define what will be your Drop-In or Promotion
Order Source - You will make a new Drop-in for each order source. For example, if you have an Order Desk integration with your Shopify store and you occasionally add manual orders, be sure to set up your Drop-in for each of these 2 circumstances. Otherwise, if you only set it up for the manual orders (for example), the Drop-in or Promotion will only be added to orders that you manually entered (not the Shopify orders).
Type - select either the Drop-in or Promotion using definitions above
Drop-in / Promotion Item - select the SKU to add to the orders
Quantity - add the # of units of the SKU to add to the orders - note that for promotions, you can also match the quantity ordered by clicking the box below the quantity field
Triggers - This is where you'll define when to add the Drop-in or Promotion
Promotion Start Date - Leave blank if there is no date applicable
Promotion End Date - Leave blank if there is no date applicable
Subtotal to Trigger Promotion - note that this relies on accurate order values being passed in the order source - leave blank if it doesn't apply
Item Category to Trigger Promotion - note that this relies on accurate categories being set up in your items - leave blank if it doesn't apply
Items to Trigger Promotion -
If any item can trigger the item getting added to the order, don't select any items. This is what you'll use for Drop-ins.
If you actively select all items to trigger the Drop-in , just remember that as you add new SKUs to My.Amplifier, you'll have to come back to select them here in the Promotion Trigger. Otherwise, those new SKUs won't trigger the Drop-in / Promotion.
Or, for Promotions, select those SKUs which should trigger the addition of the item. For example, if you want to add a sticker to all orders containing a hat, select only your hat SKUs. You'll have to remember to come back to select new hat SKUs you might add in the future if you want the sticker to be added for that new hat.
Countries to Trigger Promotion
If shipments to any country can trigger the Promotion, don't select any countries.
Or, if you only want the Promotion to be added to certain countries, select those here.
Don't forget to click Save.
