Yes, you can run use another Shopify store as your dropshipping supplier by connecting your store directly with theirs through Syncio.
Syncio creates a direct connection between Shopify stores, allowing you to use another Shopify as a supplier by importing their products onto your store and keeping stock levels in sync across both stores.
When a customer places an order on your dropshipping store, Syncio's order forwarding feature automatically pushes it to the supplying Shopify store for fulfilment.
There are three main ways to find and approach other Shopify stores to act as your dropshipping supplier: direct outreach to stores you already know, Shopify Collective, and Syncio Marketplace.
If you already have a specific Shopify store in mind, you can approach them directly by email or Instagram to propose a dropshipping arrangement. Once a supplier agrees to work with you, your Shopify store and the supplier's Shopify store both need to install Syncio and exchange a unique connection key, after which you can begin dropshipping their products.
If you're looking to find new supplier stores, Syncio Marketplace is a searchable directory built into the Syncio app where you can browse thousands of Shopify stores that are actively open to dropshipping partnerships, with no geographic restrictions. To contact a supplier through Syncio Marketplace, click "Invite to Connect".
Shopify Collective is another reliable option for finding new supplier stores, though connections are limited to stores operating in the same country as yours.
Syncio lets you import products from another Shopify store by browsing their full product catalogue and selecting which products to import individually or in bulk. Syncio copies the full product listing into your store, including the title, images, variants, and description. Once a product is imported to your store via Syncio, you can customise any attribute of that product without impacting the original listing on the other Shopify store.
Yes, the other Shopify store also needs to install and pay for Syncio. The other store's Syncio plan is free for up to 10 orders containing synced products per month. For more than 10 orders with synced products per month, a performance-based fee applies that scales with order volume. Full pricing details are available on Syncio's pricing page.
When a customer places an order on your store, the order details need to reach the other Shopify store so they can pick, pack, and ship the product directly to your customer. With Syncio's Orders Add-on, this happens automatically – order details are pushed to the other store the moment a purchase is made, with no manual notification needed. Once the other store fulfils the order and adds a tracking number, Syncio automatically sends the tracking information back to your store so you can keep your customer updated.
