Dropshipping questions

Hi.. Totally new to this and was wondering before I download Zen Cart and set everything up - I'd like to know if Zen Cart has basic drop shipping capabilities? Or do you have to use third party modules for drop shipping. I think my needs are basic for a drop shipper - multiple vendor, different price points and each using different shipping clients (UPS and USPS).

Thanks for any info...

Re: Dropshipping questions

There is no dropshipping ability built in to Zencart. There is at least one commercial mod which I believe offers that function.

Re: Dropshipping questions

Thanks for your reply. Is that Dropship core?

Re: Dropshipping questions

No, that's a set of core files on which you can build your own dropshipping module. The commercial mod I mentioned is Ceons Advanced Shipper.

I haven't used it, but there are many posts about it in the forums.

Re: Dropshipping questions

Do you know if it's still available? (I hope so). I've tried to find it and I get a server error. The name Ceon too comes back empty.... Or can you download it from here....

Thanks

May need to look for jsweb instead of ceon.

Re: Dropshipping questions

You could also try the Dropship Core plugin (I haven't used it).

Look under Zen Cart Plugins as jsweb. You'll find 5.0.2
