Supplier orders
Place and track supplier orders when customers buy dropship products.
When a customer orders a dropship product, you need to place the order with the supplier (AliExpress) for fulfillment. The supplier orders section manages this.
Where to find it
Admin → Sourcing → Supplier orders (/admin/sourcing/orders).
The fulfillment flow
- 1
Customer places an order
A storefront order containing dropship products is created. - 2
Place the supplier order
From the order detail's dropship section or the supplier orders list, place the order with AliExpress. Saleporia sends the customer's shipping details to the supplier. - 3
Sync tracking
Once the supplier ships, sync the tracking number back into the shop order so the customer can track their package.

You charge the customer at retail price but pay the supplier at cost. The difference is your margin. Place supplier orders promptly after customer payment to keep fulfillment times short.
