Vendors can begin preparing now to ensure they are fully positioned when marketplace activity accelerates ahead of the 2027 scholarship launch.
First, vendors should register with Well Planned Learning, the multi-vendor marketplace that supports current state ESA programs and serves as the preparation pathway for future federal marketplace participation. Early registration allows vendors to establish their storefront, upload products or services, and test fulfillment workflows.
Second, vendors are encouraged to review their operational readiness, including inventory management, service delivery processes, shipping integrations, and customer support capacity. Well Planned marketplaces are designed to support seamless ordering and fulfillment through modern API-enabled infrastructure.
Third, vendors can begin building awareness among their existing customer base and educational partners. As program participation grows through taxpayer engagement and school readiness, vendors who are already active and visible in the ecosystem will be best positioned to benefit.
Taking these steps now helps vendors enter the federal rollout prepared, compliant, and ready to scale.
