You should have the ability to adjust the price, but it’s crucial to pay attention to supplier margins. When margins are already low, shipping costs can easily wipe out your profit — sometimes leaving only a few dollars, or even putting you in the negative. More and more suppliers are dropping margins to around 20% (I even saw one as low as 8% tonight), which is really disheartening. It makes it hard to stay motivated with retailers, because this could have been such an amazing opportunity.
Thank you for the feedback on pricing flexibility! Please note that shipping costs should not be coming out of your margin, as its a separate cost paid by the customer. If you are finding that this is not the case, please reach out to the Shopify Support team.

A nightmare with suppliers and VAT collection. Cue bills where Collective sells items for less than it costs you.

It's a nice way to add other products to your store that complement your inventory. Increases AOV for our store.

Shipping Charges will kill you. Need more transparency upfront when importing goods. Don't waste your time on anything with less than a 40% margin, its a waste of time. Importing products is not as straightfoward as it seems. Tons of issues with getting variant selectors to work on a storefront. Bottom line, proceed with caution but there are good partners out there

what an epic way to connect with other companies and sell products you normally wouldn't while maintaining great margins and networking to show off your shopify platform!

Does not pull customer email for providing shipping information. Does pull Name, address and phone, but not the purchasers email.

Hello there! I'm sorry to hear that your experience with Collective wasn't ideal. However, please note that we do not share customer email with suppliers as the retailer owns the customer relationship within a Collective transaction. To share shipping information with customer, you can simply upload tracking information to the order from your admin, which will then be passed onto the retailer and the customer.

Makes our life so much more easier and best part you don't have to carry a large quantity of stock.
