Selling stock you don't hold

Dropshipping means you sell a product and a supplier ships it straight to your shopper, so you never hold the stock.

The store, the price and the name the shopper sees stay yours, and the supplier stays behind the scenes.

What a supplier connection does

  • Their catalog in your store

    Products, photos and prices brought in from a supplier you choose, by file or by connection.

  • Orders passed on

    Each order goes to the right supplier with the shopper's address.

  • Tracking passed back

    The supplier's tracking number goes on to your shopper.

  • Their stock, counted

    The supplier's stock counts come in, so you don't sell what they've run out of.

  • Your price over theirs

    A markup rule sets your prices from the supplier's, and you can change any one of them.

  • One order, two suppliers

    An order with items from two suppliers is split, each part to its own supplier.

  • Roadmap

    Your words on their products

Questions about dropshipping

What is dropshipping?
Selling products a supplier ships straight to your shopper, so you never hold the stock. Your store takes the order and the payment.
How does a supplier connect?
By a file of their products or by a direct connection, and each order then goes to them with the shopper's address. No supplier is connected yet.
Who sets the price?
You do. The supplier's price is your cost, and the price in your store is yours.
Who does the shopper hear from?
From your store: the order, the messages and the tracking number all come in your name. No supplier is connected yet.
Who handles returns?
Your own return policy and your supplier's terms decide it, and each return is recorded on its order. No supplier is connected yet.
