If you have a Shopify store looking to expand your reach without increasing your acquisition costs, then Shopify Collective: Supplier is exactly what you need. This new app, currently available only in the US and Canada , transforms the way suppliers sell their products through retail stores within the Shopify ecosystem.

With a collaborative dropshipping approach, suppliers connect with retailers who carry their products and handle sales, while you focus solely on shipping and fulfillment.

What is Shopify Collective: Supplier?

Shopify Collective: Supplier is an app that allows suppliers to share their catalog with other Shopify retailers so they can sell it in their own stores. When a sale is generated, the supplier automatically receives the order in their control panel for shipping. Shopify automatically transfers payment to the supplier, who maintains full control over margins, inventory, and pricing.

A B2B solution integrated within the Shopify ecosystem

Unlike third-party platforms, Shopify Collective works within Shopify , meaning there's no need to install additional software or redirect customers. The entire workflow happens in real time, with native syncing.

How does Shopify Collective: Supplier work?

1. Product selection and publication

From your Shopify store, you can select the products you want to offer to retailers and create custom price lists, including special markups.

2. Sales made by retailers

Retailers associated with your store can import your products and sell them under their own brand, with your name as a hidden or visible supplier, depending on your settings.

3. Automatic synchronization and order management

When a retailer makes a sale, the order is automatically synced to your store. You handle the shipping, and Shopify handles the payment.

Who can use this app and where is it available?

Exclusive to the US and Canada (for now)

Currently, Shopify Collective is only available to suppliers and retailers with stores in the United States or Canada . This is because the logistics and financial infrastructure is optimized for these markets.

Requirements to become a supplier on Shopify Collective

  • Have an active Shopify store
  • Have your own products ready for direct shipping
