# coreFORCE - Distributors - Sports South


A distributor is an entity that supplies products to be sold through an e-commerce platform. CoreFORCE integrates with various distributors to automate the import of product data, manage inventory, and streamline the ordering process. This ensures that retailers using coreFORCE can efficiently source and offer products from multiple distributors, keeping their online store updated with the latest inventory and pricing information.

coreFORCE packages-

During the onboarding process for Basic and Standard customers, we will request your preferred distributors. Once the website is set up, these distributors will be available for selection, and you can add the necessary credentials to the created distributor profiles.

Your credentials will be provided by the respective distributor. If you have not yet received them, please contact the distributor directly to obtain them.

15. Always Require Adult signature for customer dropship

The option "Always Require Adult Signature for Customer Dropship" with Sports south

means that for any dropshipped orders to customers, the delivery carrier will always require an adult (typically 21 years or older) to sign for and accept the package upon delivery. This requirement ensures that the products are received by a responsible adult and helps comply with legal regulations concerning the sale and delivery of certain items, particularly those that require age verification or are legally restricted to minors. This option helps mitigate risks associated with delivery to minors and ensures compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
