Wildberries Inbound Acceptance Coefficient - What It Is and How to Catch a Free Slot

What the inbound acceptance coefficient on WB is, why acceptance can be paid, how to read warehouse coefficients and how to catch a free or cheap time slot.

Wildberries Inbound Acceptance Coefficient

The inbound acceptance coefficient is a multiplier on the cost of accepting goods at a specific warehouse on a specific date. A coefficient of ×1 is the base paid acceptance, ×0 (free) is the most profitable slot, and high values (×2, ×3 and above) mean expensive acceptance because the warehouse is overloaded. Coefficients change by day and by warehouse, which is why slots with a zero or low coefficient get taken fast.

In short: the coefficient is how many times more expensive acceptance gets. ×0 is free, and the higher it goes the more you pay. Catch the low ones.

How it works

  • Every warehouse has its own acceptance coefficient for each date.
  • ×0 - free acceptance (rare slots that disappear quickly).
  • ×1 - standard paid acceptance.
  • ×2 and above - expensive, the warehouse is overloaded.

How to catch a good slot

  • Check coefficients several days ahead and across different warehouses.
  • Prepare the shipment in advance so you have time to book a ×0 or low-coefficient slot.
  • Consider less loaded regional warehouses - coefficients there are often lower.
  • Build the acceptance cost into your unit economics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

"What is the inbound acceptance coefficient on Wildberries?" It is a multiplier on the cost of acceptance at a warehouse on a specific date. ×0 means free, ×1 is standard paid acceptance, ×2 and above cost more because of warehouse load.

"How do I catch free acceptance (coefficient 0)?" Track the coefficients by day and by warehouse, prepare the shipment in advance and book the slot as soon as a ×0 appears. Slots like that are taken quickly.

"Why did acceptance become paid?" WB applies paid acceptance and raised coefficients at busy warehouses to spread out the flow of shipments. At less loaded warehouses the coefficients are lower.

"Can I avoid paying for acceptance?" Yes, if you catch a slot with a ×0 coefficient. There is no guarantee - it depends on warehouse load and the date, so plan your shipments in advance.
