Prepare Approved Fashion Inventory for Sale without Losing Physical Control
Connect garments, accessories, footwear, designer pieces and fashion collections from Seller Central to Vault.Fashion with destination-specific sales content, price, stock, variants, publication, fulfilment, returns and seller reporting.
The permanent custody and catalogue record remains authoritative. Sales readiness does not automatically publish an item or remove the seller’s approved controls.

Vault.Fashion Marketplace FAQs
Common Questions before Inventory Is Released for Sale
The final setup depends on catalogue readiness, seller approval, price, stock, variants, fulfilment responsibility, shipping and return requirements.
Does completing the catalogue automatically publish inventory on Vault.Fashion?
No. Catalogue preparation, destination draft, review lock and public publication remain separate states.
Can only selected items be activated for sale?
Yes. Sales eligibility can be controlled at client and item level, subject to destination requirements and approval.
Can Vault.Fashion use a different price from another destination?
Yes. Vault.Fashion price, promotion eligibility and other destination-specific values can be maintained separately.
Can one-off items and quantity-based stock both be supported?
Yes. Unique pieces can use individual custody and stock, while repeated variants can use quantity-based availability.
Can size and colour variants be controlled separately?
Yes. Approved variant combinations can maintain their own stock and availability while remaining connected to the parent catalogue record.
Can the seller fulfil Vault.Fashion sales directly?
Potentially. Vault-managed, seller-managed and hybrid fulfilment can be selected according to the approved operating model.
What happens to stock during checkout?
The selected item or variant should move through an accountable hold or commitment state so confirmed stock cannot be sold twice.
How are approved returns handled?
The return is received, verified and inspected before the item is restocked, repaired, restricted or retired.
Can the seller see sales and settlement activity?
Yes. The Seller Dashboard can provide connected visibility into listings, stock, transactions, returns, deductions, adjustments and settlement status where applicable.
Can a listing be unpublished without deleting its custody record?
Yes. Destination publication can be paused or removed while the permanent inventory and activity history remain intact.
