Drop-shipping
Features and technical specifications of the Drop Shipping add-on can be viewed on the Online Store.
The Drop Shipping & Supplier Management website add-on module allows the website administrator to drop ship items directly from the supplier to the customer. If a website sources their products from a supplier who can deliver product directly to the customer, then the website can split an order and send the provisioning requirements to the suppliers directly via an email. Using this add-on, the website administrator no longer needs to worry about passing orders through to their suppliers or trying to manage stock levels directly, as this add-on does it all for them. Ultimately, this can be a big saver of both time and money.
Under the preferences tab, in the Payment section, there are some preferences that affect how dropshipping will work:
When editing a product, the website administrator can choose the supplier from a drop-down box
