Overview

Setting up an online pharmacy store is one of those options where you not only fulfill your entrepreneurial dreams but also get the satisfaction of helping people lead a better, healthier life. The idea of an online pharmacy is centered around offering a wide choice of non-prescriptions OTC (Over The Counter) drugs, filling out prescriptions, delivering in time the drugs purchased to patients and making their lives a great deal easier. The first kind is where the online pharmacy store itself stocks a huge number of medications. A customer first submits a valid prescription for the medicines they wish to purchase. The online store confirms the availability of the items required and the customer makes the payment. The online pharmacy then ships the medicines to the customer. The second kind is different in that they don’t stock the medicines themselves. Instead, they partner with local brick-and-mortar pharmacies. When the customer makes an online request the online pharmacy store checks which partner pharmacy is closest to the customer’s shipping address or can best deliver the order.
