Launch Your Online Business Right Away With Magento Drop Shipping Method

by Michel Kein Online Marketing

Magento is the perfect key for online businesses that opens the door and facilitates the business-folk to expand their business beyond the geographical limitations. Magento forms the most plausible e-commerce platform to develop an effective interactive e-commerce website with its array of features. The business-folk sought after the Magento e-commerce development company to obtain a well-planned dynamic online store to position their place in the global e-commerce market.


Apart from its general features such as catalog management, product listing, updating/editing images, recently viewed/compared products, customer groups, persistent shopping cart, free shipping options, multi-tier pricing for quantity discounts, and, etc., Magento offers 'Drop shipping method' to sell more products. Obviously, either a new seller or a consistent one in the field wish to sell more products and ship them for the respective customers.


The workflow involved in drop shipping method is as follows. The business man sells an item through his Magento storefront, then e-mails the order and shipping information to the supplier. The supplier may be a wholesaler or a manufacturer (with whom he has established a business relationship) having inventory on-hand. Further, the vendor picks the specified item, packs and ships to the customer. But the customer receives the item as if it got shipped through the merchant. The vendor here works on the back stage for the company and remains unknown for the customer.


Moving further, the advantages of adopting 'Drop shipping method' during Magento e-commerce website development are as follows.


Inventory: There is no need to keep inventory stocked. The merchant can use the vendor's inventory and purchase only when there arises the necessity of sale.

Decreased overhead costs: As there is no chance for storing inventory, one need not rent/lease and maintain the warehouses. In case of physical stores, when the business expands, the merchant has to expand his warehouse, that demands additional investment for space and labor. These investment amount get waived off for the merchants.


Sale as per demand: The merchants can potentially sell all kinds of products by establishing business contact with the right vendors. In case of physical stores, one may restrict his shop to apparels, cosmetics, shoes, bags, or fancy items for want of capital, space, time and labor. Here, the merchant can expand his product line without restrictions.


Reach ability: The merchants can have hassle free shipment irrespective of national or international barriers. He can reduce the shipping time and its cost by picking the vendors that are closer to the customer's location. The product gets delivered smoothly without damage (less likely to happen) that may occur during shipment within a short span of time and thereby increase customer satisfaction.

Launch business instantly: Drop shipping method makes the merchant initiate a business with lower budget, risk and time since there is no need to purchase inventory.


One can hire the Magento e-commerce developers, develop Magento storefront and successfully run a business comfortably from home through the Internet with active vigilance and business contacts.
