Frequently Asked Questions
How do I manage inventory without overstocking or running out?
Forecast demand from sales history and set reorder points, then let tools like Inventory Planner and ShipStation automate purchase orders and shipping. The aim is enough stock to never miss a sale without tying up cash in dead inventory.
Should I handle shipping myself or use a 3PL?
Do it yourself while volume is low, then move to a 3PL as order counts grow. ShipStation works well either way by consolidating carriers and rates; the tipping point is usually when packing eats more time than it is worth.
What accounting do ecommerce sellers need?
Track revenue, COGS, fees, and tax per channel. QuickBooks and Xero integrate with Shopify and WooCommerce to keep books clean and make tax season painless.
