Drop shipping is a popular solution among retailers who don’t maintain their own warehouse space. With drop shipping, orders are shipped directly from the supplier to the customer, with your store acting as a middleman. As a retail fulfillment model, drop shipping has the benefits of saving shipping and warehousing expenses, as these are handled directly by the supplier.

Shift4Shop makes drop shipping easy by including configurable options to instantly email a supplier when you receive a new order. You can also use the distributor’s address as the origin address for calculating shipping.
