Accepting credit cards, warehouses, and shipping and fulfilling orders
Do I have to actually get the items in order for the customer to get it or will it do it by itself.
Hi @MEME236063,
This completely depends on what type of products you are selling and how you are fulfilling your orders. If you are dropshipping then yes, typically the supplier you are ordering from will ship the order directly to your customer rather than sending it to you first. You can provide the customer's shipping address when buying the product from the supplier rather than your own.
Can you tell me more about your business and what you are selling? Do you have any dropshipping apps installed on your store?
If you are dropshipping, I'd also recommend checking out our ultimate guide on this method of selling if you haven't already. It outlines how the process works from start to finish and how you can best maximise your chances of success when selling.
