Add new products to your store in minutes. With Shopify Collective, you can instantly import products from top Shopify brands, with real-time syncing for details, pricing, and inventory. Orders are fulfilled by suppliers, payments are automatically processed when they ship, and returns are seamlessly automated. Expand your catalog and reach new customers—all within Shopify. No setup fees, no high commissions!
Shopify Collective is completely free to install and use — there are no setup fees and no high commissions charged by Shopify. You do need an active paid Shopify plan with Shopify Payments enabled. Your only cost as a retailer is the wholesale price you pay suppliers, which happens automatically after they fulfill an order.
Your store must be on a paid Shopify plan with Shopify Payments activated and be located in a supported country (US, Canada, UK, and many EU countries, among others). Shopify removed the previous $50,000 minimum revenue requirement in its Summer 2025 edition, making Collective open to smaller stores with no minimum sales history required.
No — you never handle any inventory. After a customer places an order on your store, Shopify automatically forwards it to the relevant supplier, who fulfills and ships directly to your customer. Tracking numbers sync back to your store automatically, and you're only charged the wholesale cost once the supplier ships.
Shopify Collective features real-time, ultrafast inventory syncing, meaning product details, pricing, and stock levels stay current at all times. This eliminates the risk of overselling, even during flash sales. Note, however, that overselling protection only works through standard checkout — it won't apply to manually created orders.
There are a few notable constraints: suppliers can only apply a single discount percentage across an entire price list (no SKU-level pricing), some product data like SKUs, barcodes, and custom tags may not sync automatically (requiring manual cleanup), and Collective does not support Shopify's Managed Markets feature, so multi-currency international selling across storefronts is not available. Suppliers can also remove a retailer from their network without advance notice.
As the retailer, you set the return and refund policies, and suppliers are expected to follow them. Returns can be managed via the Shopify admin or through integrated third-party apps like Loop, Narvar, and Redo. However, some merchants have flagged that there is no formal dispute resolution mechanism if a supplier refuses to cooperate on a refund — leaving the retailer to absorb the cost or resolve the conflict outside the platform.
Shopify Collective is built natively into Shopify and integrates directly with Shopify Admin, Shopify Flow, Shopify Bundles, and Shopify Subscriptions. It also works with third-party returns apps including Loop, Narvar, and Redo. Because everything operates inside Shopify, no additional platforms or middleware are required to manage orders, payments, or fulfillment.
