What Is Dropshipping?
Dropshipping involves outsourcing the production and shipping of a product directly to a supplier. This means you won’t have to create, store, and ship your product. Instead, you’ll simply offer the product for sale, and work directly with a supplier to coordinate fulfillment.
The dropshipping business model is straightforward and relatively risk-free. First, you register as a dropshipper on GroSpace and make sure to sell specific products, then advertise to your target market. Next, when a customer completes an order, your GroShop automatically passes their information to your supplier, who will package and ship their product. Then all that’s left is for you to do is contact more customers because GroSpace takes care of the fulfilment.
There are several pros and cons to this approach. Let’s take a look at the benefits first. Dropshipping is an excellent way to cut down on overhead costs. For example, you’ll be able to reduce or entirely eliminate the cost of storage and assembly space for your product.
Additionally, even though dropshipping adds a layer to your process, it’s still a pretty simple business model. You’ll simply have to maintain your marketing in order to grow your customer base.
While there are many benefits to outsourcing this aspect of your eCommerce business, there are also downsides to be aware of. Consider for example the fact that you’ll have to spend quite a bit of time communicating with the provider you choose. Of course, this should be less of a problem if you’ve picked a GroSpace which is a reliable company to work with.
However, you might also run into problems with inventory. At times, providers may encounter supply chain issues that you don’t become aware of until a customer does not receive their order. This could also result from failed delivery methods.
In order to minimize these risks, you’ll want to make sure that your stock count is always above 0 which shows your leads and customers that there is stock available.
Contracts with buyers?
The contract story isn’t worth the paper it’s written on unless you are dealing with AAA clients. This is why we work on a per order basis. The lead will order through your GroShop. GroSpace automatically generates invoices. Payments are automated and an order number is required during the checkout process. The ordering process also notifies GroDriver to collect and deliver the goods in a timely manner 👌

What is a dropshipping agent?
A dropshipping agent is a term to describe the middle man in a deal. Dropshipping agents help farmers to sell their products by selling the farmers product on a separate GroSite that belongs to the drop shipper. For making a sale, drop shippers are paid 1% of the transaction value.

How does Dropshipping work on GroSpace?
Our farmers can choose to share their contact details including address if they want to deal directly with the public. A good example is GroChick. GroChick is the integrated poultry arm of GroSpace. GroChick does not deal directly with the public. All interactions are handled by market agents in person or on GroSpace.
GroSpace is the online farmers market – GroSpace is responsible for fulfilling orders on behalf of the farmer. GroChick on the other hand represents a collective of farms. These are two distinct operations that operate in tandem. GroChick purchases eggs and GroSpace is the marketplace where the eggs are sold to the retail and wholesale market buyers. GroSpace distributes unbranded catering boxes as offered on GroSpace after a payment into escrow is made to secure the order. No order will be reserved without payment into escrow
Each box of table eggs contains 12 trays of 30 eggs totalling 360 eggs. A sample box can be purchased on GroSpace.
Share the link to your GroSite Shop so that they can peruse the description of this product or alternatively register for a dropshipping account where you can promote GroChick verified products and earn a 10% commission on sales as a dropship trader.
Unfortunately, we will not be disclosing any locations of our farms as this goes against our customer privacy agreement. GroSpaace runs according to a particularly simple online ordering system with inventory management. Orders are to be placed online with a limited weekly stock count. At the time of writing, there are only 1000 boxes of table eggs available weekly. GroSpace is looking for reliable and consistent distributors of table eggs that can distribute 100 boxes weekly.
GroSpace services whoever pays. GroSpace can not go after your customers like a company can, because GroSpace is a market. Encourage your customers to buy on GroSpace. GroSpace is a safe neutral ground for online transactions. In fact – GroSpace earns when your customers purchase on your GroSite.
Send your product link to buyers if you want to secure your transaction – Dropshipping accounts offer no markup, the price is the same as you see on GroChick – in fact you are selling GroChick product which means you currently earn a 10% commission on transactions. There is a 5% withdrawal fee. The wallet offers a R0 monthly fee to hold your funds in your wallet so as to encourage users to circulate their earnings in the GroSpace market system by buying from other vendors to support the GroSpace market.
Are you looking for a safe place to do a new deal?
If there is no trust then explain how Escrow works. Look below if you need to learn. If your customer still declines, they are time wasters so walk away and sell directly to someone like Charles who is the head buyer from Checkers. If you want to know who to speak with at Food Lovers Market, they can be found in Johannesburg – speak to Felix. He will take care of everything FMCG for Food Lovers.
If you are currently part of a long buyers chain then consider joining GroSpace. When the margins get tight, ask yourself who will be the first to go. The person or organisation that brings the least value to the table will be ousted.
This is the art of war.
