Fulfil a dropship order

From order to tracking

1. 1

   invtri imports the order

   invtri imports the order from the marketplace (every 15 minutes) and records it.

2. 2

   Stock updates everywhere

   invtri updates your stock on every channel, so your other listings reflect the sale.

3. 3

   Buy from your supplier

   Place the order with your supplier as usual. If you have more than one supplier for the product, compare each supplier’s landed cost on the order first.

4. 4

   Add the tracking number

   Add it to the order in invtri, and invtri sends it to the marketplace.

Your part and invtri’s part

invtri brings in your suppliers’ price and stock, prices every channel with your margin rules, imports orders, updates stock everywhere, sends your tracking to the marketplace and tracks each return on the order. Your part:

• Hold your supplier accounts and agree terms.
• Buy each order from your supplier.
• Agree blind shipping with your supplier.
• Add the tracking number.
• Handle returns with your customer and supplier.

Blind shipping

Blind shipping means the parcel and paperwork show your business, not your supplier’s, which Amazon’s drop shipping policy requires. With your own suppliers, you agree it with them.

Marketplaces change their rules, so check each marketplace’s current policy before you start. Our Dropship page sums up eBay UK’s and Amazon’s.
