General Info
We are improving the experience for first-time sellers (outside of Germany) by adjusting the pickup scheduling, updating email automation to inform them about the process, and enhancing internal notifications (Slack and Airtable). Reason: Customers who sell with Saclab for the first time get a special PickUp Service. A UPS driver will provide a shipping label. This service has different Pickup Times than the usual UPS express checkout.
The goal is to ensure a clear, restricted pickup window, correct email communication, and proper handling of first-time sellers through internal tools.
Changes
-
Implement the "First-time Seller" tag in Airtable. Applied automatically or manually selected.
-
Update email automation to inform first-time sellers about the full-day pickup window (8 AM-5 PM) and the premium pickup service in general
-
The existing SYB flow stays the same, this is only for first-time sellers
-
Adapt the "Schedule a Pickup" page to limit the pickup window
-
Modify Slack notifications to include details about first-time seller or premium pickups.
User Story

Intenal: I want the correct internal systems to reflect my status, ensuring smooth handling by the sales team.
