Delay between receiving profit from customer and spending money to fulfill a customer's order?

Howdy. I am relatively new to Shopify and I've finally set up my first store and I'm almost ready to advertise and dropship. There's just one thing I'd like to get clear on.

I'd like to know what I could do to prevent my bank from going into the negatives if I receive a lot of orders on my store. I pay for the cost of goods, but there's a delay between when I receive the profit meaning that until I receive that profit, I will be paying out of what I already have in my bank for a few days to a week. I don't have Shopify balance set up as I'm not eligible. Any idea on how I can speed this process up further?
