With regards to your inquiry, are you able to share more information about what you are trying to do? Any details that you can share will help us understand your situation better and be able to assist accordingly. 

In the meantime however, you can visit this link in regards to affiliate marketing which speaks to what you have mentioned in your initial inquiry. I have also found this blog post from us that expounds further about this program. 

You are also more than welcome to have multiple dropshipping suppliers on your store so you can provide your customers as many options/products as you'd like. 

Definitely let me know how this works out for you. I look forward to hearing more from you.

Hi Daniel, thanks for your reply.

Our business on www.ejardin.ca<> is to sell learning cours about herbalist, thoses cours are about how to different fabrication of product Ex. soap, shampoo, medecinal sirup etc...

But we dont sell on our shopify any basic material, like ingredient needed for any fabrication we just sell the theoric aspect of it.

I'm in touch with a supplier of those products that as himself a shopify for his product.

So what would be nice for us (and the supplier agree), that, if it would be possible for us to include some of there products on our shopify. So if somebody buy it, we take a commision like 15% (thats the agreement) and they take care of doing the shipping, inventory etc.


thank you for your help

Thanks for the added information, Patrick. 

I recommend you check out the affiliate link I have shared in my initial response as this speaks to what you are trying to do which is basically promote another business' products using your own business. 

You are also more than welcome to have this conversation directly with the other merchant and figure out how this can be both beneficial to your businesses. 

All the best to you!

Yes, you can use the dropshipping app- Spocket for this.  This apps allows you to sell their products on to your store.  You don't need to pay for the product upfront. You'll only need to pay it once an order is generated by your customer. This makes it an attractive business model for new merchants.

You can sign up  for a free Spocket account and browse our catalogs of products. We also provide a 14-day free trial on our paid subscription to help you get started with selling. Links are down below. Cheers!

Hello, Yes, it is possible selling products from other supplier. Moving products from one Shopify store to an additional is very easy! Simply export a CSV data from your first store, develop a brand-new Shopify store, and after that import the CSV documents. All of your items will after that be transferred over

You can sell multiple items on Shopify. You can either develop separate pages for each and every product or create a solitary page that features all of your products if you pick to create a solitary page, you can utilize the Shopify Product Slide carousel to showcase your products.

Cross-listing is just listing the same product across multiple on the internet marketing systems. This raises the possibility that a client sees your item, as well as better yet, purchases that item. This method works well for resellers that specialize in specific product groups.

Speaking of products, we can also help you source it direct from top manufacturers in China. Standard in quality and prices are affordable that can generate potential profit margins.

And, we have our own Private Line capable of deliveries any part of the world.

We are always ready to help businesses grow.

Thanks for your reply, so by importing the csv on my shopify of the product of my supplier from his shopify store, i dont need to manage inventory ? and how do i manage a commission ?
my supplier will received the order as if it was taken from his shopify right ?
thanks again

Since you are working with a direct Shopify merchant, it will not work like a normal dropshipping business model would. I urge you to have this conversation with them to discuss how all the logistics will work regarding this arrangement that you have with them. 

If you are referring to the Affiliate program however, you will get a commission if your audience buys a product from your referral. I recommend reading over the document linked above for further information about this matter. 

If you are interested in doing it the conventional way as you have described in your last response, you can visit this blog post for the best suppliers to work with on the platform.
