Shopify Collective: Supplier

I've previously used a number of dropship supplier apps, and this has been a big improvement. To wit:

- Product importing is seamless

- It is easy to set different commission rates for different groups of products, and if desired to give different retailers different price lists

- Your normal shipping rates are pulled through for Collective orders (rather than some kind of flat rate shipping that doesn't work for all your items, or needing to set individual rates for every product, as in other apps)

- Payments proceed automatically into your Shopify funds rather than through some third party payment processor

Shopify bringing this in-house rather than making everybody use (and the retailers pay for) clunky outside apps is a tremendous efficiency for those who want to dropship or supply dropshippers.

Many business owners dream of growing their brands through Shopify, but it's not always easy.

That’s why Shopify Collective has been such a game-changer — it opens up valuable opportunities that can truly support small businesses. It helps fill in the gaps where I’ve struggled to serve my customers, and I’m incredibly grateful for that.

I hope more companies can discover and benefit from this amazing tool.

While we see great opportunity in being a retailer for other adjacent brands, we use Collective primarily as way to connect our own stores that sell different types of product, including our on-demand licensed catalogue. These different stores require complete physical inventory separation, and Collective allows us to seamlessly create and share products between our stores, keeping fulfillment entirely separate.

Looking forward to using Collective so that we can curate and retail other brands, as well as supply to other like-minded stores.

The app works well, it is a revolution in dropshipping. I just have few suggestions. It would have been better if the price lists were visible to the retailers instead of showing the products all mixed together. It would also be great if it was possible for suppliers to get an export csv file of all the products in a price list or import product to a price list.

Hard to use and understand. Improve the GUI so we can see invites from other retailers...missed several as the notifications are buried.

I love the Collective app. We have doubled our revenue by adding a national retailer via Collective. The process is seamless for getting orders and getting paid. I highly recommend it

We are finding many things are great about the collective, but we have hit a lot snags too. It can be flawless to connect sites, but it can also be very hard for websites to communicate with each other and pass on tracking information and details. We have struggled with the way the collective gathers money and pays people as well. It would be great to see that simplified in the future.

Vastly improved, but could use more sophisticated search parameters when adding products to collections: we have almost 30,000 SKU so, hand processing can be a burden.

Great app to unlock sales & partnerships.
Seamless integration with product, pricing & content!

Pretty good experience so far. Have had some spammy retailers reach out though.
