General Discussion / Re: Few questions about drop shipping
« on: June 06, 2015, 10:45:44 PM »
I don't know a lot about it myself, but if it works it makes my life a lot easier than adding products manually,
But I don't mind that either, as that process is pretty fast in abente, I did 8 new products in like 25 mins last nite for tester.
Anyway, the api I was looking at is at china vasion if you care to have a look at it, they have an faq section about it but
I don't see much i the lines of documentation or a guide how to implement it. It does say it automates the process of adding
products to your site but I don't know if it does exactly that or whatever, maybe one of you might have a look and know more.
That's just one API example.
I think I'll stick with Paypal standard for now as a payment module because it uses the info the customer put on your site.
Although I like the idea of having that Paypal express checkout, but I'd just have to be sure my Paypal account only accepts
payments from verified Paypal accounts right? then the user could log in to Paypal instead of filling in personals on my site right?
With Paypal express checkout, it basically uses the shipping info on file in the user's paypal account, when they shop on my site.
So I'm doin alright on the payment setup, have two options.
I guess my next step, other than trying to customize abente, is find good prizes from dropshippers in Europe.
I've been searching a few forums like wholesaleforum.com that esource looks like a goo directory but you have to subscribe to see full listings.
Right now all i have enabled is that weight based shipping, I'm still trying to figure out what's the best way to set up rates.
That seems to be the more complicated stuff for me.
