Learn about Dropshipping by Orderchamp and how it can help you grow your e-commerce business.
Are you ready to take your e-commerce business to the next level? Or are you a dropshipper looking to further optimize your shop? Dropshipping by Orderchamp can help you build a successful online store without the hassles of managing inventory or shipping logistics. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through Orderchamp's user-friendly dropshipping solution.
Dropshipping is a business model in which orders are fulfilled through a third party, meaning that you don't need to hold, ship or process physical stock as a retailer. When an order comes in from a customer, the product is directly purchased from the supplier of the product, who then takes care of delivering the product directly to the customer. As a result, the retailer doesn’t have to handle the product directly. This model reduces the financial risk and overhead costs associated with holding inventory, making it an attractive option for new and established online or omni-channel businesses alike. On average, dropshippers experience a 50% increase in revenue by eliminating traditional inventory costs like purchasing, ordering, handling, and storage. Additionally, retailers using Dropshipping by Orderchamp often enjoy higher margins compared to direct purchasing. This is because they save on typical inventory costs, and our suppliers offer the same competitive wholesale prices for dropshipping as they do for (bulk) inventory purchases. So while dropshippers generally get 20-30% margin on a dropshipped product, retailers on Dropshipping by Orderchamp can reach margins over 50%.
Dropshipping by Orderchamp elevates the traditional dropshipping model by offering high-quality products from well-known and established brands. Unlike typical dropshipping, where unbranded products are sold and rebranded by the retailer, Orderchamp allows you to sell premium branded products without the risk of holding inventory. This approach is perfect for multi-brand e-commerce businesses aiming to provide their customers with a diverse range of quality items from recognized names.
With Dropshipping by Orderchamp, we personally onboard all new brands and work together with them to ensure that they have clear product descriptions, return instructions and appealing imagery, making it easier for you to create an optimized and professional online store. With our out-of-the box integration, all you need to do is to connect to Orderchamp in the app store of your e-commerce software (e.g. the Shopify App Store or the Lightspeed App Store) to connect to the catalog of your preferred brand and import their SKUs directly into your webshop. You can leverage the reputation and trust these brands have already built, enhancing your store’s credibility and customer appeal. Additionally, we’ve made it effortless and enjoyable to browse for dropshipping products in our discovery marketplace, automatically curate them, and seamlessly integrate them into your online shop.
Once you set up the Dropshipping by Orderchamp integration, customers can browse and shop the imported products through your webshop.
Once an order is placed, there’s no need for manual intervention. The order details, including customer information and shipping address are automatically forwarded to the brand.
The brand then takes over the shipping process, sending the product directly to the customer on behalf of the retailer. You can upload a customized packing slip, which the bran will include in the order.
Dropshipping provides an excellent opportunity to engage in online sales without the hassles of inventory management, stock purchases, and shipping logistics. For traditional e-commerce businesses, it’s an ideal way to expand your product range without significant investment or risk, allowing you to test demand and explore cross-selling opportunities quickly.
