Shopify Collective: Supplier

This is an incredibly powerful tool that I wish more retailers and suppliers would utilize. Aside from a few manual processes, its primarily plug and play. If Shopify was to focus on one improvement I suggest creating a retailer level output that shows you which items they have published from your price list. This output could be in either csv or Excel formats.

As a merchant, its horrible experience, Before getting paid, the Fullfilment timer starts, thats badly impact our Fulfillment average ratings, also as a merchant we should not receive any order from retailer before getting paid, When status payment pending shopify still counts fullifilment time, Which is system bug, should resolved, some retailer place fake order and the payment never get settle, but shopify still counts its a legit order ( when payment pending, they also warn not to fullfil before getting paid), at the same time they count this order as fullfilment parameter to give you a average ratings we have to manually check every retaile, then cancel this fraud order, which will be never settle payment status to paid, So, as a merchant we should not get notified a newly order before getting paid or shopify should not count any order as before getting paid, (so we don't have to manually check the order status every time), some time we have to cancel this fake order (pending payment over 2 days), then manually cancel it, Support team also can not gurantee the payment settlement. They have no options to filter fraud retailer. So collective is not a functional b2b platform, plenty of issue to be fixed.

it would be nice to be able to use shopify catalogs to add products, or a specific collection, or even just a tag. Having to manually add products to this, when we're already tagging them and adding them to catalogs is an extra step.

We also have some "free shipping over $xxx" that doesn't integrate with this.

Other than that, it's pretty seamless and easy to use.
