Dropship sender addresses

Store different sender addresses and use them for orders shipped in the name of another company.

For drop shipping you can give an order a different sender address – the parcel is then shipped in the name of another company instead of your own. The sender addresses are saved for your company and can be chosen again for every new order. In the order details the chosen address is shown as Different shipping address (Abweichende Versandadresse).
