What is dropshipping?
Dropshipping is a retail model that allows business owners to sell products to their customers without ever actually stocking or shipping the items themselves. When your customer places an order, you simply forward the order to your supplier, who will then deliver the product to your customer directly. This means you don’t have to worry about inventory-related tasks, and instead work on more important aspects of your business like bringing in new customers.
Backorder your sales
In Zoho Inventory, when you are low on stock, backordering allows you to prioritize and fulfill the demands of a regular customer, by putting other confirmed sales orders on hold and reallocating the products.
When an item in the sales order is out of stock or needs to be reallocated, a backorder is initiated. This generates a purchase order, so that you can order the items from your vendor first, and then deliver it to the customer.Dropship your purchases
Dropshipping using Zoho Inventory allows you to fulfill product demands on short notice by letting the supplier deliver the product to the customer directly.
In this process, the supplier delivers the items to the customer, and shares the order and shipping information with the seller. The seller can easily track such information in Zoho Inventory by converting a sales order to dropshipment.
