The Doba Integration
Usually, before an online store can sell something, a product is required, followed by a competent supplier for the product, a place to store the merchandise and then someone to ship the product. With InstanteStore’s Doba integration, that way of doing things has been confined to the history books.

Doba is a product sourcing website exhibiting over 1.2 million products from over 200 suppliers covering a wide range of categories.

With the advent of this integration, a merchant using the InstanteStore ecommerce solution can actually start up just about any type of store without much hassle. All the basic transactions take place behind the scenes, from the payment gateway up till the drop shipping. Internet store owners do not even have to stock up on merchandise anymore. This part is taken care off by the drop shippers. Online store owners could practically run a store from home. The truth is, all a person really needs is a PC and an internet connection.

This is ordinarily how the system works. A internet store owner selects products from the Doba product list and displays it on his online store. Once a customer makes an order and the order is approved by the web store owner, the drop shipper will then be given the instruction to ship the product. The customer will then receive the order in a week or so. It’s surprisingly that simple.
