Shopify Collective

they are getting the job done. Wish shipping was a little faster to customers but everything else is a+.

The way to find suppliers is so difficult - sometimes I feel like I can find really good stuf, and then I go a while without being able to find anything. It makes it really hard.

The Collective program in my opinion is the best thing to happen to retail since the internet and it levels the playing field of e-commerce if done properly, happy selling! Peter STORE 7994

I’ve experienced several issues with different distributors that have resulted in being charged taxes twice. Because of this, I made no profit on some sales, and on one order I actually lost money. When I import products, Collective shows that I will make a certain profit. However, after the order is placed, I’m automatically charged taxes twice, along with additional shipping costs that were not disclosed beforehand. As a result, the final costs are higher than the expected profit shown during the import process. Collective should address this issue by providing accurate cost estimates upfront and ensuring that all taxes and additional charges are clearly displayed before products are imported or sold. Otherwise, sellers can end up losing money on orders they believed would be profitable.

Overall it is great and simplifies product research. Only issue is many products you have to ask for margins and permission to add to your store, though small price to pay for the ease.

I absolutely love Collective. I has been very difficult to find reliable suppliers in the USA. I would recommend the following. Add products categories to individual Sellers so that it is easier to search their products. Add Best sellers based of sales data to Individual Sellers so we know what is selling. Automatically remove products that has Zero Inventory. Add more Suppliers that Sells Brand Name Products. Thanks. Good Job So far.

Overall, Shopify Collective has been an excellent way to find reliable suppliers that ship within a reasonable timeframe. Fast, dependable fulfillment is one of the most important things I want to provide for my customers, and many of the suppliers on the platform have helped me do exactly that. I hope Shopify continues strengthening its supplier vetting process and regularly reviews supplier listings for fulfillment reliability, accurate product information, and transparent shipping practices. Overall, I appreciate Shopify Collective and look forward to seeing it continue to improve.
