Retail dropshipping is a form of direct-to-consumer (D2C) fulfillment where customers place orders on a retailer’s ecommerce website, but the orders are fulfilled directly by your supplier or 3PL rather than by the retailer. Jetpack’s retail dropshipping solution streamlines this process through EDI integration, automated order management, and full compliance with retailer packaging and shipping requirements.
Understanding Retail Dropshipping
Retail dropshipping allows you to sell your products through major retailer websites while Jetpack handles the fulfillment directly to the end customer. This model eliminates the need for retailers to stock and ship your inventory, while giving you access to their customer base and established ecommerce platforms. Example: If you sell your products on Target.com, Jetpack would ship the order directly to the customer instead of Target handling the fulfillment.
