Shopify Collective: Supplier

Very easy to use and set up. We have had 49 orders in the last 2 months we otherwise would not have captured through retailers connecting with our store. We have a quality unique original product, the Swole Duck, but we don't have the capital for heavy marketing and advertising. Collective by shopify has opened a doorway to getting our product out there without getting into debt.

good to use

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!

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.

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

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.

If you're a Shopify merchant looking to scale your store without the headaches of managing extra inventory, Shopify Collective is honestly one of the best tools available right now — and the fact that it's completely free makes it a no-brainer.

The ability to curate products from supplier catalogs in seconds and give customers more of what they want without risky inventory investments is something I didn't know I needed until I had it. Setting everything up was surprisingly painless — within days, our store had a noticeably expanded catalog without a single new SKU sitting in a warehouse.

What really sets Collective apart is how seamlessly it integrates into the Shopify ecosystem you're already using. Orders are fulfilled directly by suppliers, payments are automatically processed when they ship, and returns are handled without extra friction — it genuinely removes the operational weight that usually comes with scaling up product offerings.

The real-time inventory syncing is a standout feature — product updates push ultrafast, which means zero risk of overselling even during a flash sale. For anyone who's ever had to manually apologize to a customer for an out-of-stock order, that peace of mind alone is worth it.

As a supplier, the experience is equally strong. You can create custom price lists for retailers with margins you control, and get paid automatically when you ship — no setup fees, no high commissions.

Whether you're a retailer looking to diversify your store or a supplier trying to tap into new audiences, Shopify Collective puts control into the hands of both sides of the equation. It's collaborative commerce done right.

Highly recommend giving it a try if your store is eligible. It's rare to find a tool this powerful that costs absolutely nothing. Best of Luck!
