Backordering: Meaning, Causes & Managing Tips Blog.zaperp.com
A backorder is when a customer purchases an item, but you do not have it in stock. A backorder occurs after the product has been sold and paid for by your customer. The order will then be sent to the manufacturer or supplier who will make more of that particular product available once they receive payment from you for this backordered amount. Backorders can sometimes take weeks or months before they are fulfilled, so it is important to consider all risks carefully before choosing whether backordering makes sense for your business!
