Shopify Collective: Supplier
All reviews
When I update my listing, that information is not pushed to partners pages. This causes confusion and for the listings to be incorrect on their end.
Great concept. Seems like most "retailers" use it to buy product and get a percentage paid to them for doing so.
Love it overall. However, we would like to see visibility on what the retailers have imported.
The app is great overall, but there a a few things that could be improved: 1) If you use a third party app to calculate shipping rates, you cannot pass the shipping prices to your retailers' stores. 2) Because our shipping rates are not passed to the retailer's store, we charge that after the order has been sent to us. We aren't able to edit Collective orders so we handle this outside of Shopify. 3) If you have products set to "continue selling when out of stock" like we do, the retailer will also have that enabled and they won't be able to change it. They'll need to find some other way to notify customers about the actual product status. Our products are Made to Order when they are out of stock, so we have them set to "continue selling when out of stock" but this is not ideal for some retailers. We make sure our retailers are aware of this before we approve them on Collective.
I have updated my review, the concept is great and that's why I updated the review. But the work is half done. The shipping has to be figured out. I just got the order and now I am supposed to chase after the other business for shipping cost. Send invoices and such, make sure what setting they have. You can choose "calculated shipping" but it does absolutely nothing!!!! You can send invoices for the shipping cost, but if the other store doesn't reply or doesn't see your invoice, then what? You hold off on shipping and you get ding for late shipping. Also, now you need another app to send invoices or you going to have shipping as orders? That's insane
This is mostly great. The problems are as follows: - Being able to limit ship from locations by retailer (we have a Canadian and USA warehouse and don't want to cross-border ship) - product offering able to be selected down to the variant level
