Dropship ๐
Discover suppliers & check the numbers โ
A separate business โ you never hold the goods. Research a product โ source a supplier โ list it โ when it sells, order from the supplier who ships straight to your buyer. Its own books, never mixed with resale.
Supplier search schedules
Name the niches to research. Every six hours while Butler runs, source pages appear in Discover products & suppliers. This searches websites; it does not verify inventory, synchronize prices, or place orders. Review the supplier, delivery costs and demand, then add a candidate to this pipeline. No automatic profitability or demand score is claimed.
