Feedback from ecommerce teams we have built supplier integrations for.

We had a different kind of problem. People were visiting the store, adding products to their carts, and then disappearing before they finished the order. We had tried a few apps and made changes here and there, but nothing really seemed to solve the bigger issue. The team went through the shopping experience with us and pointed out things we hadn't really noticed ourselves. They cleaned up the cart and checkout flow, made the mobile experience much smoother, and helped us make the store feel easier to shop. I’m not going to pretend we fixed everything overnight, but it finally feels like the store is helping the sale instead of getting in the way of it.
Ethan Parker
Founder of Elite Academy
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
James Whitmore
Head of Marketing of Lumen Outdoor
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

Why Businesses Trust Us With Supplier Integration
Getting a stock sync wrong means selling something you can't actually ship, so the integration has to reflect real supplier availability. These are the habits we bring to every project.
Any feed type handled
We build for suppliers on modern APIs and ones still using CSV, FTP, or EDI.
Built to stop overselling
Stock checks that reflect real supplier availability, not stale spreadsheet data.
Orders routed automatically
No more copying order details into a supplier's email or portal by hand.
Tracking that reaches customers
Supplier tracking numbers synced to your store and customers without manual checks.
Tested before it's live
Sandbox testing with real supplier data before your live store is touched.
Built to be maintained
Documentation and an optional retainer so the integration keeps working as suppliers change their feeds.

Who it's for
Stores manually updating supplier stock and prices
Someone downloads a spreadsheet or checks a supplier's site to update stock and pricing in your store.
Businesses manually forwarding orders to suppliers
You're copying order details into an email or portal for each supplier every time a customer buys.
Stores selling items suppliers have run out of
You've had to cancel or refund orders because a supplier sold out before your store's stock updated.
Businesses with suppliers on CSV, FTP or EDI feeds
Your suppliers don't offer a modern API and instead send spreadsheet files or EDI documents on a schedule.
Stores needing tracking pushed to customers automatically
You want tracking numbers from suppliers showing up for customers without you checking each supplier's portal.
Not a fit for
You need outsourced fulfillment from your own inventory through a 3PL warehouse rather than direct-to-customer supplier shipping. Our Shopify 3PL Integration service covers that.
You need multi-carrier shipping API access for your own carrier accounts rather than supplier order routing. Our Shipping API Integration service covers that.
You need the broader inventory sync layer across every channel you sell on, not just your suppliers. Our Multichannel Inventory Sync service covers that.
You need TikTok Shop, Amazon, eBay, or Etsy connected as a sales channel rather than a supplier connected as a fulfillment source. Our channel integration services cover those.

12FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on dropshipping supplier integration, feed types, and overselling prevention.
How does a dropshipping API integration work?
We connect your store to each supplier's system so stock, pricing, and orders sync automatically. Orders route to the right supplier the moment a customer buys, and tracking comes back the same way once the supplier ships.
How do supplier stock and price feeds sync to my store?
For suppliers with an API, we pull inventory and pricing on a schedule, often every few minutes, and push updates to your store automatically. For suppliers without an API, we process their CSV, FTP, or EDI feed the same way.
Can orders be sent to suppliers automatically?
Yes, when a customer buys, we send the order details directly to the supplier's order endpoint or feed, so nothing needs to be copied into an email or portal by hand.
How much does a custom supplier API integration cost?
Projects typically start from $1,499 for a single supplier connection, and scale up with additional suppliers or feed types. You get a fixed quote after reviewing your supplier list.
How do you handle suppliers with CSV, FTP or EDI feeds?
Not every supplier offers a modern API. We build feed processors for CSV or FTP file drops and EDI document exchanges so those suppliers sync just as reliably, just on the schedule their feed provides rather than in real time.
How are tracking numbers pushed back to customers?
Once a supplier ships, we pull or receive the tracking number through their API or feed and push it to your store, so customers see it without you checking each supplier separately.
How do you prevent selling items the supplier has run out of?
We sync stock levels frequently enough that your store reflects real supplier availability, and can pause or hide a listing automatically the moment a supplier reports zero stock.
How long does a supplier integration take?
Most single-supplier projects take 2 to 6 weeks depending on whether the supplier uses an API or a CSV, FTP, or EDI feed, and how many products are involved.
