Synopsis
I need to configure my store for drop shipping, so distributors are notified when a purchase is made.
Procedure
1 - Create one or more distributors through the admin site, under the Distributors menu
2 - Assign the products you want to drop ship to a distributor by selecting the appropriate entry from the “Distributor:” dropdown menu on the Edit Product page in the admin site
4 - Notify the Distributor of new orders. This can be done either manually for each order, or automatically:
Manually – Set the “DelayedDropShipNotifications” AppConfig to true and click the “Send Distributor Email(s)” button on the order in the admin site.
Automatically – Set the “DelayedDropShipNotifications” AppConfig to false.
NOTE: For orders containing products with different distributors, multiple emails will be sent. Each distributor sees on his portion of the order.
