Short description

Shipping addresses define where your purchases are sent — either to your home or directly to a Prep Center. ArbitrageOne uses the costs stored per address to calculate your margin and ROI correctly.

​
What do you need shipping addresses for?

  • Record Purchase: When recording a purchase, you select where the goods are delivered.
  • Calculation: The shipping costs of the default address flow automatically into margin/ROI calculations.
  • Prep Center connection: If you link an address to your Prep Center (e.g. PrepBusiness), shipments can be announced there directly.

​
Step-by-step guide

​
Step 1: Open the shipping addresses page

Navigate to Settings → Shipping addresses. You’ll see a card overview of all addresses you’ve already set up, with name, creation date and shipping costs.

​
Step 2: Add a new address

Click the + Add button on the placeholder card Shipping address. The Add shipping address modal opens.

​
Step 3: Enter a name (required)

Enter a meaningful name (e.g. “Home Berlin”, “Prep Center Munich” or “2nd Office”).

​
Step 4: Set shipping costs (optional)

  • Cost per unit: Flat shipping cost per item (e.g. €0.50 packaging + handling).
  • Cost per kg: Weight-based shipping cost. ArbitrageOne adds both together.
These values are applied to every deal delivered to this address.

​
Step 5: Set the role of the address

Three toggles define the function of the address:
  • This address is the default address.: Automatically pre-selected for new purchases and calculations. Only one address can be default per account at a time — if you activate it on another, the previous default is reset automatically.
  • This is my own warehouse: Marks the address as your home/office.
  • This is a Prep Center: Marks the address as a Prep Center. Own warehouse and Prep Center are mutually exclusive — activating one automatically deactivates the other.

​
Step 6: Connect Prep Center API (optional)

If you activate Prep Center, an additional dropdown Prep Center API appears. Select your already configured PrepBusiness connection here — so that shipments to this address can be sent directly to your Prep Center.

​
Step 7: Save

Click Save. The address appears in the overview immediately.

​
Edit or delete addresses

​
Edit

Click the pencil icon on the address card — the modal opens with the current values.

​
Delete

Click the trash icon. After confirmation the address is removed. Already recorded purchases keep their link to the deleted address (soft delete).

​
Important notes

  • Per row in the Sourcing Sheet you can override shipping costs individually via Prep Fee Override — the default values of the address are just the starting point.
  • The default address is also set per Sourcing Sheet (see How do I create a Sourcing Sheet?) and can differ per sheet.
  • You can’t change the Prep Center API connection after saving — the dropdown is locked. If needed: delete and re-create the address.

​
Common issues

Issue: “Own warehouse” and “Prep Center” can’t be activated at the same time Solution: That’s by design — an address can only be one of the two. For both roles, create two separate addresses. Issue: Shipping costs are not taken into account in the margin Solution: Check whether the deal is actually being shipped to this address. If a different address is set as default, its costs apply. Issue: Prep Center dropdown is empty Solution: You need to set up a PrepBusiness API connection first. Only then does it appear in the selection. Issue: The default address changes by itself after creating a new entry Solution: You enabled Default address on the new entry — that automatically unsets the previous one. Disable the toggle if you want to keep the previous default.
