📦 HOW DO YOU FULFIL AN ONLINE ORDER? Okay, so you’ve made the sale! 🎉 Your customer has paid and placed an order on your Shopify store. Now what? There are 2 simple ways you can fulfil that order: 1️⃣ You keep the stock If you have products at home and you’re shipping orders yourself, you’ll: • Package the order • Buy your courier bag • Create the shipment/waybill • Add your customer’s details • Drop it off or arrange collection This is your typical e-commerce fulfilment. It can be cost-effective, especially if you’re able to keep delivery around R100 or less. 2️⃣ Your supplier ships for you This is the method I personally use! 🙌🏽 Your customer orders from YOUR store → you submit their order details to your supplier → your supplier packages and ships directly to your customer. 📦✨ You don’t need stock sitting at home, and you don’t have to spend your day running to the courier. The marketing is basically the same because both are online stores — the big difference is what happens behind the scenes after you make the sale. 💡 No time? Supplier fulfilment may be your best option. 💡 Have stock + time to pack and ship? E-commerce fulfilment could work for you. And that’s it! Once you understand this process, fulfilling orders becomes SO much easier. 🤍 #dropshippingsouthafrica #shopify #dropshipping #onlinebusiness #tiktoksouthafrica

Okay, so someone asked me to speak on this. So you guys are asking if you want to ship out orders, how does that actually work? Now let me first break it down for you because I'm going to give you an example of where you can ship out your orders. There is two different ways to start an online store. You can either do dropshipping, which is what I do 99% of the time when my supplier ships out my orders for me. So I'm not actually going to physically go buy bags and go ship out my orders because they will do that for me. Now if you have an e-commerce store, you will be the person going to ship out your orders. That is like the bottom line unless you have a team like I do for one of my stores. So you are going to buy a bag like this. Now I don't wanna show the tag number because it's already updated. So you buy a bag and it is 90 rand. If you don't want the little note that you can write down all the information on, I don't prefer it. You can also just do it online. So you are going to scan the web info on the bag. You scan it and then it's going to take you to a site called Store-to-Door. You add the tracking number in, you add your customer's details and then the scan automatically updates at a depot. Will then collect at not their depot at the drop-off. So wherever you buy these bags, there's typically a red box that says you can drop it and then by 3 PM they normally collect. Some places differ. No, it doesn't really matter how your order goes out as long as it comes to the customer. You can use the Kudu Guy, a bit more of an expensive option. Or you can use this so that you can ship out multiple orders, update the scans, customer gets a tracking notification automatically as soon as you update it with a contact number and the email and that is it. Right. So I see the discourse on shipping out with Animax. They are pushing out a lot of volume. Um, it's a good sign that there is orders obviously be being pushed. Every courier company will have its delays. I don't know why this is some brand new information. Every single company will have a delay if there are major orders coming in. But this is your best starting point on my personal opinion. It's affordable. It's easy to just run and drop off and go about your day. Okay, that's it.
