@shopfree it’s completely up to you and your supplier.
I’ve worked on stores with a dropshipping model, here are some examples I’ve seen:
-
Supplier direct debits from your bank account once per week for all the products ordered in that period (great system for trusted suppliers)
-
Supplier sends an invoice once a month (this system is great if you can get it, but requires a good relationship with the supplier)
-
Pay the supplier per order (usually once per day place all orders, via csv or email) before they ship the product (pretty common for just starting out or suppliers you don’t have a relationship with)
Talk to your supplier to see what terms yall can agree on.
