How to Use the LitBuy Spreadsheet: A Step-by-Step Overview

Step 1: Order Onboarding

Upon order confirmation, a new row is created for each product variant. You are responsible for populating the initial cells with the product link, order quantity, unit cost, and supplier contact. This sets the baseline for all future tracking.

Step 2: Monitoring QC & Production

The LitBuy team updates the designated "QC Status"

Step 3: Tracking Shipment

Once goods depart, the logistics columns become active. Look here for the Master Airway Bill (MAWB)Bill of Lading (B/L)

Step 4: Final Review & Archiving

After successful delivery, review the complete order history within the spreadsheet row. This record is invaluable for future orders, cost analysis, and supplier performance reviews. The finalized sheet can be exported as a permanent project file.
