Dropshipping store development.
The store is the easy half. Supplier integration is where it works or fails.
Anyone can install a dropshipping app and import a thousand products. The stores that survive are the ones where supplier data is accurate: stock that reflects reality, prices that maintain margin when the supplier changes theirs, orders that route automatically, and tracking that reaches the customer without anyone copying it by hand. That is integration work, and it is where I can actually help.
What’s included
- Supplier feed import from CSV, XML, JSON or API
- Product mapping and normalisation across multiple suppliers
- Automated stock sync so you stop selling what does not exist
- Pricing rules that hold margin when supplier costs move
- Automated order routing to the correct supplier
- Tracking number import and customer notification
- Margin reporting per product and per supplier
Stock accuracy is the whole business
Selling something the supplier no longer has means a refund, an unhappy customer, and on marketplaces a metric that can suspend your account. Sync frequency, handling of suppliers who only publish daily, and a safety buffer on low stock are the decisions that matter most.
Multiple suppliers, one catalogue
As soon as you have more than one supplier you have duplicate products described differently, inconsistent categories and different image quality. Normalising that into one clean catalogue — and routing each order to the right supplier automatically — is the bulk of the engineering.
Margin visibility
Supplier cost changes silently erode margin. Automated pricing rules with floors, plus reporting that shows real margin per product after fees and shipping, is what stops you discovering at year end that your best seller was unprofitable.
Common questions
Which suppliers can you integrate?
Anything with a feed or an API — AliExpress-style apps, local wholesalers with a CSV, or a supplier with a proper API. I will confirm feasibility before quoting.
Can you automate order fulfilment?
Yes, where the supplier supports it. Where they only take email orders, that can often still be automated.
Should we use Shopify or WooCommerce for this?
Either works. Shopify has more ready-made dropshipping apps; WooCommerce gives more control over custom supplier integrations and no platform fee.
Can you help with product research or ads?
No. I build the technical side. I am not a marketing agency and will not pretend otherwise.
Have a project in mind?
Tell me what you're building and roughly when you need it. I reply to every genuine enquiry within one working day.
