We are often asked to stand up a B2B e-commerce store that would contain items produced and/or fulfilled by various vendors.
Often these items would be drop-shipped from the vendor to our customer. It would be helpful to accurately capture a shipping estimate for each item in a given order even if those items are fulfilled from different vendors. For example, we may offer vinyl signs from vendor A and business cards from vendor B.
Ideally our customer could place a single order for signs and business cards and pay the appropriate shipping charges based on shipment from each vendor.
This is an increasingly common request from our customers.
