Ordering:
After identifying the clothing items you want to buy, the next step is to place an order. Here are some options:
Direct Ordering:

Dropshipping:
You can work with a dropshipping company that will ship the clothing items directly to your customers, eliminating the need for you to hold inventory.
Inspection:
Once you receive the clothing items, the next step is to inspect them for quality and accuracy. Check for any defects or discrepancies and contact the manufacturer or wholesaler if necessary.
