Why This Form Template is Perfect for Plant & Garden Wholesalers

For nurseries, seed companies, and garden product wholesalers offering dropshipping services, vetting potential vendors is critical. You need partners who understand plant care, can properly represent your products, and meet the unique challenges of shipping live goods. This Paperform template helps you:

• Qualify serious applicants with detailed questions about their business model, target market, and gardening expertise
• Collect essential hardiness zone specifications to ensure vendors can properly match plants to their customers' growing conditions
• Gather shipping and logistics information to coordinate live plant deliveries with arrival guarantees
• Assess vendor capabilities for providing care instructions, planting guidance, and customer support
• Streamline approvals with conditional logic that routes applications based on business type and volume expectations

The form automatically adapts based on applicant responses—if someone indicates they'll be selling live plants, additional questions appear about refrigeration, delivery timeframes, and guarantee policies. This intelligent design saves time for both you and your applicants.

Built for the Unique Needs of Plant eCommerce

Unlike generic vendor application forms, this template addresses the specific requirements of the garden and plant industry:

Hardiness Zone Matching: Collect information about the geographic regions your vendors serve, ensuring they can properly advise customers on plant selection based on USDA hardiness zones. This reduces returns and increases customer satisfaction.

Seasonal Planning: Gather details about your vendors' understanding of planting seasons, helping you coordinate inventory and shipping schedules for optimal plant health and success rates.

Care Instruction Requirements: Ensure vendors are prepared to provide comprehensive care cards and planting instructions with every order, maintaining your brand's reputation for quality and customer support.

Live Arrival Guarantees: Document vendor policies on damaged shipments, DOA (dead on arrival) claims, and replacement procedures to protect both parties and end customers.

Perfect for Garden Centers, Nurseries & Plant Retailers

This form template is ideal for:

• Online plant nurseries vetting eCommerce partners for live plant dropshipping
• Seed companies building retailer networks for bulk and individual seed sales
• Garden supply wholesalers expanding into dropshipping for tools, soil, and accessories
• Specialty plant growers (succulents, tropicals, natives) seeking qualified resellers
• Hydroponic and indoor gardening suppliers partnering with retailers

Whether you're a small family-owned nursery or a large-scale horticultural operation, this template adapts to your vetting process and approval workflow.
