How do I fulfill orders while shopify is still processing the payment and hasn't sent me the money?

So I am dropshipping, I got my first order today. I'm using shopify payments without Plaid (So, to my understanding, i need to wait up to 5 business days to see the payment in my account.) How am I supposed to fulfill the order in the meantime? Am I supposed to pay it off my pocket? What are some common practices within the industry, and dropshipping specifically?. If the case is that I have to pay it off my pocket, how am i gonna handle it if one day my store just does thousands of USD in sales?. Thank you for the reply, I couldn't find much information about the topic online and thought it would be nice to cover it here.
