Can I register and sell other brand products?  

Is it possible to register an overseas brand product and sell it in a drop-shipping manner?

Hi @boyoung,

Yes, it is possible, however, you should consider the legislations, regulations, and agreements with supplier. Besides, tax and VAT can be a problem as well.

Hi @boyoung ,
This is Theodore from PageFly - Shopify Page Builder App.

Selling other brands on Shopify:

Dropshipping:

• Possible with brand owner permission and legal rights.
• Find dropshipping suppliers carrying those brands.

Retail/Wholesale:

• More control but requires investment in inventory.
• Ensure legal rights to purchase and resell.

General Considerations:

• Brand reputation, profit margins, competition.

Best regards,

Hey @boyoung 

Thanks for reaching out!

When selling other brand products, there are several legal considerations to keep in mind, the main two being:

• Trademark Infringement: Ensure that you’re not infringing on any trademarks or intellectual property rights. Selling counterfeit or unauthorized products can lead to legal trouble.
• Authorized Reseller Agreements: If you’re selling products from established brands, consider becoming an authorized reseller. Some brands require agreements to sell their products legally.

Remember to consult legal professionals or experts to navigate these complexities effectively!
