Shopify Collective: Supplier

This is an incredibly powerful tool that I wish more retailers and suppliers would utilize. Aside from a few manual processes, its primarily plug and play. If Shopify was to focus on one improvement I suggest creating a retailer level output that shows you which items they have published from your price list. This output could be in either csv or Excel formats.

Easy to use

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.

Good

Need to be able to set dealer discount percentages by product.
