Can customers bulk import orders into shopping carts?

Topic summary

A merchant running a dropshipping operation seeks an app allowing customers to bulk import orders via CSV/Excel files directly into shopping carts. The workflow involves customers uploading files containing multiple orders with SKUs, quantities, shipping addresses, and customer PO numbers, which should then create separate orders at customer-specific pricing.

Proposed Solutions:

  • Supply Lists - Supports CSV import for order placement
  • Swift B2B Cart CSV Upload - Allows CSV uploads and SKU/quantity copy-paste, displays inventory status, but doesn’t auto-populate shipping addresses from CSV
  • Extend B2B Buying (formerly Quick Order) - Offers bulk ordering with CSV import functionality and has a free plan available

The discussion remains open, with another user expressing interest in similar functionality for managing purchases within a small group. One app developer offered to discuss custom solutions on a call to address specific requirements.

Hi,

I’m looking for an app that will allows customers to import orders in bulk via excel/csv into their shopping carts.

I offer drop shipping and customers are currently emailing me their files that they download from their stores. Is anyone aware of an app that offers this?

TIA

can you share the example for

this customers to import orders in bulk via excel/csv into their shopping carts

to get a clear understanding of functionality.

Hello,

The attached is what a file may look like. In this example, 2 orders should be created (based on the customer po) and the shipping name and addresses are provided for each order. The orders should be created under the account of the customer who is logged in at their prices that are setup. Then, the customer should be able to pay and process the orders. Please let me know if further information is required.

We recently created this as Shopify app. It is called “Supply Lists”, which allows your customers to import a CSV file and place an order on your store.

You can check it out here:

I hope this solves your problem.

We launched an app that supports CSV uploads and lets users quickly build a cart by copy/pasting SKUs and quantities directly into the form.

Granted it does not automatically create the order using the address data from the CSV, but it shows everything in a nice easy to read summary page (showing anything out of stock) and then the customer can proceed to checkout

Hopefully it can be of some help, good luck on your search!

Hey, I recently used this app called Quick Order it does exactly what you’re looking for allowing bulk orders with CSV imports and it also has a free plan available so you can give it a try

Hi Davi44,
We’ve an app called Extend B2B Buying, and we’ve built a similar solution for another client. It lets users add items to the cart in the way you’re looking for. Let’s connect on a call to understand your use case better.
