    Default drop shipper how have I to do?

    Hello I sell like wholesaler and I have zencart, now my potential client asks if I sell in dropship.

    The problem is that I have a site web that only if I enabled a person, that person can see products on site.

    So the question is how have I to do?

    The client has his site? How can I proceed?

    Create another seperate zencart site, mirror your current
    products, and allow dropshipping from new site.

    "Drop Shipping" is not the same as "Multi-Sites" (mini shops each with their own product range).

    There is a multi-sites add-on for Zen Cart, but it's very complicated to install and to manage. To be honest if you need multi-sites you'd be better off using Magento Community Edition.

    sorry I didn't understand.
    I thought dropshipping it is fact that retailers sells but I ship products with name of seller on pack.

    But it isn't clear for me how to do.
    So, any seller has his website?so he buys from my site directly?
    If not, how is it?

    thanks for your patience

    Yes, dropship seller buys from your site, and sells from his own zencart site. Multi Site not required by you.

    "Drop Shipping" (when talking about a Zen Cart website) is normally when a website sells products they do not keep in stock. Those products are shipped directly from the supplier with the name of the store on them and not the name of the drop shipping company.

    In this case YOU are the drop shipping company. And you want to set up a website which other companies can order from, and you ship out with their name on.

    You can do this with Zen Cart, but I think the best thing for you to do first is to buy the book "e-Start Your Web Store with Zen Cart" - ther link for which is at the top of this page. It is beyond what this forum can do to teach you everything you will need to know to make this work.

    I have a zencart set up for dropshipping which allows my customer to allocate any product in an order to any of up to 5 of their customers and allows them to upload a custom delivery note for each customer.
    Basically it allows them to order once without having to complete a seperate order and changing addresses for each of their customers
    It's not very slick but it works

    equestriandropship.com if you want to have a look.
