Dropshipman FAQ


How does dropshipping work?

With the aid of the order fulfillment technique known as dropshipping, e-commerce businesses delegate the sourcing, warehousing, and delivery of the products to a third party, typically a supplier, and ship the products to the customer.

The following steps summarize the dropshipping business model:

  • Customer orders online
  • Seller receives order
  • The seller must send a request for fulfillment
  • Place the order on or via Dropshipman
  • The order shipped to the customer
  • The customer received the order
