Dropshipman FAQ

How does dropshipping work?

With the aid of the order fulfillment technique known as dropshipping, e-commerce businesses delegate the sourcing, warehousing, and delivery of the products to a third party, typically a supplier, and ship the products to the customer.

The following steps summarize the dropshipping business model:

• Customer orders online
• Seller receives order
• The seller must send a request for fulfillment
• Place the order on or via Dropshipman
• The order shipped to the customer
• The customer received the order
