DROPSHIPPING FOR PROVIDERS

Dropshipping is a commercial template in which a merchant (reseller) sells products without owning the stock. He directly gives the product stock to providers.

The Shippingbo dropshipping method allows to connect a merchant to a provider while using the Multi-Shippingbo process. 

It allows the merchant to increase the range of products he can sell without having to store any stock.
