How to add a secondary supplier on the same product on my website depending on location of order

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment
, , ,

Topic summary

Main issue: Automate supplier selection by order destination so US orders use a US supplier and all other countries use an international supplier.

Context:

  • Platform: Using AliExpress–DSers fulfillment (a dropshipping/order routing tool linked to AliExpress).
  • Current setup: All products sourced from US suppliers; store is launch-ready; Cash on Delivery (COD) is one of two payment methods.

Pain point:

  • If an international order arrives, current US-only suppliers cannot fulfill it.

Requested outcome:

  • Pre-select two suppliers per product (US supplier + international supplier) and have the system automatically route orders based on customer location without requiring customer input.

Status:

  • No implementation steps or solution identified yet; guidance requested. Discussion remains open with unresolved how-to on DSers/website configuration for location-based supplier routing.

Hey, I am using AliExpress - Dsers Fulfillment for my store. My store’s ready to go and I will begin marketing it soon. I have a question, how can I add a secondary supplier on my products depending on whether if they’re from the United States {my primary market} or from another country. My store’s ready and this one thing is holding me back. I want this choosing of suppliers to be automated, I just pre-select 2 suppliers for all my products {US Supplier, International Supplier} and my customers don’t have to go through any hassle when ordering. Right now, all my products on my store are sourced from US suppliers but if an international order came through I wouldn’t be able to fulfil it. Seems complicated ://

{For the record, I have COD as one of my 2 payment methods}
