Dropshipping or Multi Vendor Solution?

[DAPP99]

Hi There. I am looking for a solution to offering third party vendors products on my own site and I am ovewhelmed with finding a solution and hoping someone here can help. I currently run a site where I sell digital products. That part is all taken care of as they are my own. But I started offering physical goods in my niche. I found a supplier that I am working with to sell products. They use clickship installed on my site and I pay them manually for the product and I keep my markup. But most of the profit is theirs. It's pretty complicated. Well now I have another vendor that wants to work with me and sell through my site. But I can't set things up the same.

Basically here is what I am looking for

1. Ability to resell other companies products on my site. There would be a few vendors that I am currently working with. One has a shopify site, the other does not. 

2. One shopping cart and checkout experience. If someone comes and purchases a digital product from me and some physical product from Vendor 1 and some from Vendor 2, it should all be one checkout. But how does shipping costs work for this?

3. The order from each vendor would go to them and they would fulfill it.

4. With Vendor 1, I pay a set price for each product to them. With Vendor 2, I keep 10% of the sale. I would like something where this process is automated for payouts to the vendors.

5. The fulfilment is sent with my packaging. No branding from the vendor. That is arranged in advance, so they need to know when it is an order from me.

There must be some sort of solution to make this easier than what it has been. It's basically dropshipping I guess. Would some sort of dropshipping app work? Or maybe a multi vendor app where they manage their own products? I am not sure. I do not want their branding anywhere. These are private arrangement with select companies. I just need a better way to manage it. And I am completely lost.

Hi there. It seems the app is for US drop shipping with already established vendors. I’m wondering how this works for me? I have 2 vendors right now I am working with. I’m curious how the app works. My apologies. I’m just really out of my element

Hi @DAPP99 

I have a great recommendation for you - Shipturtle's Multi Vendor Marketplace Pro+ App

It can solve your concerns: 

1. Ability to resell other companies products on my site. There would be a few vendors that I am currently working with. One has a shopify site, the other does not: 

• Shipturtle allows you to add multiple vendors (with or without a Shopify store), each with its own product catalog.
• You can control the visibility of products and manage vendor profile

2. One shopping cart and checkout experience. If someone comes and purchases a digital product from me some physical product from Vendor 1 and some from Vendor 2, it should all be one checkout. But how do shipping costs work for this?

• Shipturtle can create a seamless checkout experience, allowing customers to purchase products from different vendors in a single transaction.

3. The order from each vendor would go to them and they would fulfill it.

• Shipturtle can integrate with vendor's fulfillment systems or provide tools for manual fulfillment.
• You can set up rules to automatically route orders to the correct vendor based on the product.

4. With Vendor 1, I pay a set price for each product to them. With Vendor 2, I keep 10% of the sale. I want something where this process is automated for vendor payouts.

• Shipturtle can automate payouts to vendors based on their pricing models.
• You can configure different payment methods and schedules for each vendor.

5. The fulfillment is sent with my packaging. No branding from the vendor. That is arranged in advance, so they need to know when it is an order from me.

• Shipturtle's cannot help you directly here. However, it can allow you to set up custom order notes or tags to inform vendors about your packaging requirements.

Let me know if it helps.
