How to build an e commerce website where you don't have the products? - Julio - 06-05-2014 11:01 AM
I need somebody who can explain me how can I build a eCommerce website without have the product storage in my place?
I mean, e.g. If you are living in Spain and you have built a website to sell bicycle parts in Europe an North America, but the thing is, you don't have those products because it cost too much money to keep in your storage. So, you link your website to this warehouse in China or other country in Asia and from there you delivery all your products to any country in the world and in the bill appears the details of your company etc. In few words is like this: Buyer in USA:::::::::::buys through your website, your website send straight the request:::::::::::::the transaction is passed to the Chinese Warehouse::::::::the Chinese warehouse sends the products to the customer with the invoice of your company. How can I do that from my website? Is there a software to do that? There is somebody who can explain me asap? Thanks for your help. Any information that you can provide would be helpful.

Hi,
The answer to your question is drop shipping. Drop shipping is exactly what you are describing in your post. My short answer is that drop shipping is where your products are shipped directly from the supplier to the customer instead of having the manufacturer ship to you, then to the customer.
Check out this blog post, it's way more in depth and helpful.

Good luck!
