In this video I walk through the complete order processing system for high-ticket dropshipping, covering everything from fraud detection and purchase orders to shipping quotes, tracking, out of stock situations, and getting reviews after delivery. Order management for high-ticket is a lot more hands-on than low-ticket dropshipping and getting the process right from the start saves you a lot of lost margin and unhappy customers.

🔥 What's covered:

- How to detect and prevent fraudulent orders using reverse lookup and Clear Sale

- How to handle phone orders without exposing yourself to fraud risk

- How to request shipping quotes and send purchase orders to suppliers

- How to handle freight shipping, tracking numbers, and shipment exceptions with AfterShip

- Why you should always set payment capture to manual and never auto-capture

- How to handle out of stock orders without losing the customer

- How to incentivize customers to leave photo and video reviews after delivery

- Why you need at least 20% margins to make high-ticket dropshipping work
