Getting started

To get started:
- Create your account and select your dispensing tools.
- Upload your healthcare credentials and select your state of practice.
Creating your 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.
Note: If you're a student, select Student as your health profession to continue. You'll have a chance to update your profession after graduation. Learn more.
Lastly, review our Terms of Service and Privacy Statement before checking the I agree checkbox, then click Next: Select sign up method.
Creating a new account from the practitioner sign-up page.
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.
The email address used to create a new dispensary can't be in use by another practitioner or patient account on Fullscript. 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.

The sign-up step to complete your account setup.
Wholesale & virtual dispensing tool selection
Before you jump into your dispensary, you'll be asked how you plan to use Fullscript: wholesale ordering (US dispensaries only), virtual dispensing, or both! By selecting the tool(s) you're interested in using, it ensures we're only collecting necessary information from you. Select the tool(s) you need, then click Enter my dispensary to continue to your account.
Practitioners interested in wholesale only benefit from a faster sign-up experience, but you'll still have access to virtual dispensing tools if you change your mind later.

Uploading your healthcare credentials
With NPI number
Provide your NPI number, select the state you practice in, and enter your phone number. NPI numbers are reviewed immediately and automatically approved once validated. The NPI number provided should match the name used to sign up for the account – if it doesn't, select Click here to verify it and enter the name that matches the number provided.
If you don't have an NPI number available, see the Without NPI number section below.
Without NPI number
By checking Don't have an NPI? You can upload credentials instead, you can upload your healthcare license or certification, select the state you practice in, and enter your phone number. Document 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 sending a supplement plan, adding patients, and customizing your settings. We'll send you an email when your account is order-ready.
Healthcare credential upload step during accounts setup. Credentials must be approved before patient and wholesale orders can be placed successfully.
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.
'Setup complete' confirmation window with the option to set up a 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.
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 35% (US dispensaries).
See Dispensary & individual patient discounts to learn more, and visit your Dispensary settings to review your profit settings.
Note: Fullscript collects and remits sales tax to the state on your behalf. We recommend speaking to a tax advisor regarding tax implications and your unique tax obligations that can come from earning a profit of patient sales placed through your dispensary. Please see our Terms of Service for more information.
