+What is Drop-Shipping?
+======================
 
 Drop-Shipping is a system that allows orders taken from your store to be
 shipped straight from your supplier to your customer. On a usual
 delivery system, products are sent from your supplier to your warehouse
-to be put in stock, and then shipped to your customers after ordering.
+to be put in stock and then shipped to your customers after ordering.

 With drop-shipping, no item is stocked. When a customer places an order
 in your shop, the item is delivered straight from the supplier to the
 customer. Therefore, the product doesn't need to get through your
 warehouse.

+Points to be Considered while Implementing Drop-Shipping
+========================================================
 
--  Use drop-shipping only for the products you can't or don't want to
-   keep in stock. One reason is that you'll always make smaller
-   margins on items that are drop-shipped, so you should keep it
-   only for items that take up a lot of space in your warehouse.

--  Drop-shipping is best for niche products. Chances are that products
-   that are in high demand are being offered by large suppliers at a
-   fraction of the price you'll be able to charge, so using a more
-   costly shipping method won't be financially rewarding. But if
-   your product is unique, then it makes sense!

--  Make sure time is not against you. Drop-shipping should take a
-   reasonable amount of time and surely not more than it would have
-   taken you to handle it all by yourself. It's also nice to be able
-   to provide your customers with a tracking number.

-   have that information, inform your customers that you don't hold
-   the item in stock and that it's subject to availability from a
-   third party.

--  Create a **Sales Order** and specify on a sales order line for your
-   products that the route is **Dropshipping**.
+Create a *Sales Order* and add the product on which you just set the
+vendor. Add the *Route* field thanks to the widget on the right of the
+sale order line. Now, you are able to specify that your products’ route
+is *Drop-Shipping*.

--  Open the menu :menuselection:`Purchases --> Purchases --> Requests for Quotation`.
-   The draft purchase order is automatically created from the
-   procurement with the drop-shipping route. Once the order is
-   confirmed, you will see that one shipment has been created.

+Once the sale order is confirmed, Odoo automatically generates a
+*Request for Quotation* for the supplier who will proceed to the
+drop-shipping. You can find it in the *Purchase* app, with the sale
+order as *Source Document*.
 
--  To confirm the sending from the vendor to the customer, go back to
-   **Inventory** app. On the dashboard, click on **# TO RECEIVE** on
-   the dropship card.

-.. image:: media/dropshipping02.png
-   :align: center
+Once this *Purchase Order* is confirmed, a *Receipt Order* is
+created and linked to it. The source location is the vendor location and
+the destination location is the customer location. Then, the product
+won’t go through your own stock when you validate the dropship document.
 
--  It will open the list of drop-shipping transfers. Validate the
-   transfer once it has been done. The items will be directly
-   delivered from the partner to the customer without transiting to
-   your warehouse.
