I didnt say "drip ship" i said "drop-ship".....

Drop shipping is a common function in many shopping cart systems. Whenever a product is sold, if the item is not stocked by the store owner, but instead sent by their supplier from a warehouse, the cart would send an email to that warehouse, via a configurable "per product" email or "supplier" email address. that email would tell the supplier what was purchased, who purchased it, shipping info, etc. then the warehouse would ship it, and they would bill the store owner.

This is called "Drop-Shipping" and is fairly common. Many people have "drop-ship" agreements with suppliers, it prevents the store owner from having to invest in inventory, or worry about shipping.

Here is everything you ever wanted to know about it: www.shopify.com/guides/dropshipping

not bad idea!
But it would be more common that we could create an offline order or could change the price after an order (f.e. to give the customer a discount afterwards etc).

that would be easy to do, you simply set a system config to "send orders immediately to shipper" or set it to "send orders on command" then have a button the store owner can click to send all pending orders. This would allow time for editing of the orders.

I've already done a better square payement gateway (that integrates refunds, and all other features into Eshop), and Ive done a customer rewards program component for Joomla which is made to work with Eshop......I guess this will be my next project.

Hi everyone,

has there been any progress on the drop-shipping issue ? Would be an awesome addition and something I could really need...

Cheers,
