Setting up your dispensary (US accounts)
Getting started
Join Fullscript to simplify your workflow, grow your practice, and yield better patient outcomes with an online virtual dispensing solution for professional-grade supplements. This article walks you through how to sign up and complete your account. Consider booking a demo with us for a one-on-one walkthrough of your account.
To get started:
- Create your account.
- Upload your healthcare credentials and select the province you practice in.
Creating an account
Head to our sign-up form to create your account today. First, you’ll need to enter your first name, last name, and the dispensary name (i.e., your name or the name of your practice). The dispensary name is visible to patients and can be changed later.
Next, select your health profession. Type your profession in the search field or select the field and scroll through the list.
Lastly, review our Terms of Service and Privacy Statement before checking the I agree checkbox, then click Next: Select sign up method.
To complete your account, you’ll need to provide your email address and set a password. You can enter these manually or click Continue with Google to sign in with Google single sign-on.
You can’t use an email address that’s already being used by another provider or patient account on Fullscript when creating a new dispensary. If you get an ‘Email already taken‘ error, we recommend using an alternate email address, changing the email address of your existing account to an alternate email, or reaching out to our Customer Success team for support.
Uploading your healthcare credentials
Upload your healthcare license or certification, select the province you practice in, and enter your phone number. Reviews are typically completed in under one business day. Check out Getting your credentials approved for general acceptance standards for professional licenses, permits, degrees, and other healthcare credentials.
After uploading your credentials, a ‘pending review’ banner will display in your account until your credentials are approved. While you wait, try building a plan, adding patients, and customizing your settings. We’ll send you an email when your account is order-ready.
Account type options: No-profit or profit
Dispensary owners can choose to earn a margin on patient orders placed through the dispensary. All accounts are no-profit by default. You will need to enter your tax information and set your profit margin before you begin earning a margin of patient sales.
After uploading your healthcare credentials in the previous step, a ‘Set up complete’ window will display to help you set up a profit account (optional). Click Set up profit account to provide required information and update your profit margin settings, or click Done to continue as a no-profit account.
No-profit account selection
No-profit dispensaries benefit from a simpler sign-up experience and avoid tax implications. With a no-profit model, patients are eligible for a 10% discount on all products in your dispensary.
When you opt to continue as a no-profit dispensary, you will be automatically directed to the Get started flow on the homepage where you can add your first patient and send your first plan.
Profit account selection
You can choose to set up a profit account to earn a margin on patient orders placed through your dispensary. As a profit account holder, you become the seller of record and authorize direct deposit payouts to your bank account (paid every 30 days). Additional personal and business information will be required for verification purposes.
Increasing your profit margin (%) decreases the discount extended to patients and vice versa. The maximum profit margin or discount extended to patients is 25% (Canadian dispensaries).
See Dispensary & individual patient discounts to learn more, and visit your Dispensary settings to review your profit settings.
