What is dropshipping?

Dropshipping is an order fulfillment method where a store doesn’t keep the products it sells in stock. Instead, the seller purchases inventory as needed from a third party—usually a wholesaler or manufacturer—to fulfill orders.

The biggest difference between dropshipping and the standard retail model is that the selling merchant doesn’t stock or own inventory—they act as the middleman.

How dropshipping works?

There are only four steps for AUTOOL dropshipping:

Your customer places an order from your online store

You place an order at AUTOOL based on the receipt information of the order.

AUTOOL prepares your customer’s order

AUTOOL ships the order directly to your customer

Probably the biggest advantage to dropshipping is that it’s possible to launch an ecommerce store without having to invest thousands of dollars in inventory upfront. Traditionally, retailers have had to tie up huge amounts of capital purchasing inventory.

Running an ecommerce business is much easier when you don’t have to deal with physical products. With dropshipping, you don’t have to worry about:
1. Managing or paying for a warehouse; 2. Packing and shipping your orders; 3. Tracking inventory for accounting reasons; 4. Handling returns and inbound shipments; 5. Continually ordering products and managing stock level

Because you don’t have to deal with purchasing inventory or managing a warehouse, your overhead expenses are quite low. In fact, many successful dropshipping stores are run as home-based businesses, requiring little more than a laptop and a few recurring expenses to operate.

A dropshipping business can be run from just about anywhere with an internet connection. As long as you can communicate with suppliers and customers easily, you can run and manage your business. Grow your business by selling to customers all over the world. AUTOOL offers Warehousing services in USA, EU, Russia and fulfillment.

Dropshipping is a useful fulfillment method for both launching a new store and for business owners looking to test the appetite customers have for additional product categories, e.g., accessories or wholly new product lines. The main benefit of dropshipping is, again, the ability to list and potentially sell products before committing to buying a large amount of inventory.

With a traditional retail business, if you receive three times the number of orders, you’ll usually need to do three times as much work. By leveraging dropshipping with AUTOOL, most of the work to process additional orders will be borne by AUTOOL, allowing you to expand with fewer growing pains and less incremental work.
