1. Introduction

Dropshipping is a business model in which an online retailer (the dropshipper) sells products to customers without physically stocking the items. Instead of keeping inventories, the dropshipper partners with a supplier or wholesaler who handles the products’ storage, packaging, and shipping directly to the customers on behalf of the dropshipper.

And if you wish to become a supplier or wholesaler who provided dropship service, you will have to establish a streamlined process for dropshippers to place orders with you. Using SiteGiant Dropship Fulfillment, your dropshippers can submit orders, upload or retrieve shipping labels and track the orders easily.

This feature is only available in SiteGiant Premium Plan and above.
