Shopify Collective: Supplier

Great addition to Shopify!

We are having a great experience connecting with other small businesses!

Super easy to use. Get way to connect

I'd love to connect more with retailers. We think this could be great for our business. As it's new, I'd love to get the word out to more Shopify music (vinyl) retailers to connect with us. If there's any more ways to do that, we've love to hear about it.

its good

Seamless integration makes this a win-win for both businesses.

Excellent way to collaborate with other brands in order to reach crossover audiences. Very easy to use and simple to track. Collective raised our unit sales by more than 30% after the first 90 days... Great service, I highly recommend!

Super way to expand your product offering.

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.

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.
