Note:

Adobe will stop hosting existing sites on Business Catalyst on June 18th, 2019. Adobe encourages customers to download their data and migrate to other systems well before June 18th, 2019. For detailed how-to information and assistance, see the Business Catalyst FAQ.

Use drop shipping to notify a third-party wholesaler or manufacturer of purchases on your online shop. The third-party supplier can then dispatch the goods directly to your customers. For more details, see Drop shipping on Wikipedia.

Note:

Ensure the email address entered is the supplier's primary contact email address.
