QUestion on Drop Shipping

[estabahn]

Seems to me you'd just want to charge all of your customers the same amount --say $6.00 for shipping. If someone orders from more than 1 supplier, just eat the extra shipping charges.. Hey at least they are ordering from you. Charging per supplier just seems like overkill and seems certain to displease your customers.

Hi,
The only way this works well is if you have a store for each supplier and a link for each store to each store makes it a lot easier to manage.

I have a similar situation - 3 dropshippers, and in house inventory.

1. I have set it up that only one drop-shipper has low-cost/low margin items, so I can recoup some of the double-shipping costs on the higher priced item from my inventory or other drop shipper.
2. If I have low cost items in my inventory, I price them higher to compensate for a double-shipping situation, and then pair them with a Better-Together to help them move at a more satisfactory order price.

Add a whole new store for each supplier? Tail wagging the dog. And the poor customer experience => lower sales.

how do I do this? I cant find out where I would make all shipping on all items the same flat rate

In the payment modules (Admin > Modules > Payment) look for flat rate.
