They were selling these products through their own website, but later to expand the selling, they decided to sell the products to various merchants through Shopify. 

Their main requirement was to create a drop shipping platform where My easy monogram can manage orders, products and merchant data.

What is Dropshipping? 

Dropshipping is a retail fulfilment technique where a website business does not maintain inventory of the goods it sells. Instead, the store acquires the item from a third-party seller, like My Easy Monogram, when a consumer places an order on the store's website. Without the retailer having to worry about managing inventory or shipping logistics, the supplier then creates the goods at their location and distributes it directly to the buyer under the merchant's name.

Benefits to the merchants 

• No expense on inventory and overhead costs - The merchant does not have to purchase any inventory thus the cost of renting or buying a warehouse and similar utility costs are not there. They just need a working website to sell the products. 

• You can run the business from anywhere - You do not have a particular location as there is no commitment to physical space. You just need a laptop and internet. 

• Minimum expense on fulfillment - There are no expenses of order fulfillment from your end. 

• Minimum Loss - There is a minimum loss as well as risk of damaged items as the number of steps from order to package delivery are gradually reduced.
