Bubble Goods Sample Approval Process - Perishable and Non Perishable Products

Bubble Goods requires that you send a sample of all products you want to list on the platform so our team can confirm packaging, ingredients, and taste. This is all part of the curated experience that Bubble Goods provides for our customer.

Bubble Goods requires sample shipments to be received just as customers would be receiving your product. This ensures for us a sign of a successful brand partner who can uphold great customer experience and shipping standards when shipping DTC. When samples are sent, they should be sent how you would normally fulfill a customer order, with all the proper packaging and packaging materials. 

Sample submission and approval is one step in how to add a product on Bubble Goods. You can read more about how to add a product here. 

After you've entered your product details, you can hover over to the Sample Shipment tab to find the below screen.

As you can see, there are two addresses for things to get sent to: one for non-perishable and one for perishable. Once it's sent, please add the tracking info in the "Update Tracking Info" section. This will alert the Bubble Goods team to be expecting your product. Once we receive your product, you can expect to hear from us in 1-2 weeks if the sample is approved. From here, going live on the platform is easy

At Bubble Goods, the sample approval process varies slightly for perishable products given the nature of the product. See below for more information. 

Bubble Goods only supports perishable sellers that ship nationwide, and are able to use the Bubble Goods x Shopify Integration. This feature enables orders to pass seamlessly through to your brand’s existing fulfillment system.
