Each store and wholesale store supports automatic submitting of dropshipping orders, without additional software

Automation of information exchange between suppliers and recipients in the dropshipping model is one of the Holy Grail of e-commerce. So far, warehouses have invented its own way to solve this problem. For stores wanting to use the sale in the dropshipping model it meant the need to buy software whose capabilities were limited. Handling such sales was either related to the sale of products from other suppliers or from own warehouse, or creating own, expensive, complicated system. The IdoSell Shop solution is an absolute revolution and introduces automatic exchange of order information on a massive scale and automatically handles orders.

What is dropshipping?

We talk about dropshipping when the store does not have its own products in warehouses, only when the order is received in the online store, the shop also places an order for needed products from its supplier (dropshipping warehouse). Ultimately, the warehouse sends the products to the end customer. The whole process is illustrated in the above graphic.

We focused on dropshipping orders automation

When the paid order from the customer is received by the store, the system automatically transfers the order to the warehouse, and when this order is sent to the consumer, it sends a notification to the store, along with the shipment number. The dropshipping order handling process itself is transparent to the customer. In conjunction with automatic electronic invoice delivery it is practically possible to run a shop without human participation.

6. Based on the received notification, we will complete the shipment number in the shop order, change its status to "sent" and notify your client by email that the shipment is on its way - it also happens automatically.
