Drop Shipping
"Drop shipping" refers to cases where a merchant takes orders, then passes them on to a manufacturer or distributor that fills the orders and ships the items to the end customer.
Automated drop-shipping reduces the time spent checking each new order, figuring out what has to be ordered and from which vendors, creating and sending the purchase orders to them, then trying to reconcile their invoices against your orders.
The Order Manager makes drop-shipping orders effortless. Automatically submit orders to vendors via email, fax, text or CSV file or manually with a paper purchase order.
