The Doba Integration
Ordinarily, before an online store can sell something, a product is required, followed by a dependable supplier for the item, a place to store the item and then someone to ship the item. With InstanteStore’s Doba integration, those requirements has been confined to annals history.
Doba is a product sourcing gateway boasting over 1.2 million items from over 200 suppliers covering a wide range of categories.
With this integration, a web store owner using the InstanteStore ecommerce solution can actually start up almost any type of store without much of a fuss. All the nitty-gritties happen behind the scenes, from the payment gateway and stock updates to the drop shipping. Business owners do not even have to stock up on products anymore. This part is addressed by the drop shippers. Online store owners could literally run a store from a laptop at a local coffee shop with WiFi internet access. Basically, all a person really needs is a PC and access to the internet.
This is basically how the system works. A internet store owner selects products from the Doba product list to be displayed on his online store. As soon as a customer makes a purchase and the order is approved by the internet store owner, the drop shipper will automatically be given the instruction to complete the order. The customer will then receive the order in a week or two. It’s astonishingly that simple.
