What is the difference between dropshipping and self-pickup
The main difference between dropshipping and self-pickup on Doba is who handles shipping and what the final cost includes. Here’s a breakdown of the two methods:
1. Dropshipping (Supplier Ships):
- The supplier prints the shipping label and ships the order directly to your customer.
- You pay the product price + shipping fee as the final purchase cost.
- The supplier provides you with the tracking information, which you then use to mark the order as shipped in your store.
2. Self-Pickup (Carrier Pickup):
- You provide the shipping label from your own store backend.
- You pay only the product price as the final purchase cost.
- The supplier uses the label you provided to arrange for the carrier to pick up and ship the order.
In short, with dropshipping the supplier handles everything. With self-pickup, you arrange and pay for shipping separately.
