Shopify Collective lets UK Shopify stores sell each other's products. We find the right partner stores, set up price lists and payouts, and keep orders, stock and returns running properly.
We find complementary UK stores, agree the terms and set up pricing, payouts, stock and returns so both sides know where they stand.
Collective only works when a partner store's customers want your products. Researching and approaching stores takes time most businesses don't have.
Both stores must be based in the same country and use the same currency, and each needs Shopify Payments with active payouts. UK stores also need an eligible tax setup and a verified VAT status.
Suppliers set the retailer's margin in a price list, and under the default returns policy the supplier handles returns. Get the terms wrong and one side loses out.
We check your store meets Shopify's requirements: an active Shopify plan, Shopify Payments with active payouts and, for UK stores, Shopify Tax, Basic Tax or a third-party tax app plus a verified VAT status. Digital products and gift cards can't be shared.
We look for UK Shopify stores whose customers suit your products: a dog-bed shop selling your treats, say, or a garden centre's online shop selling your planters.
As a supplier, you set a retailer margin in your price list. On a product that retails at £100 with a 30% margin, the retailer keeps £30 and pays you £70. Retailers can change the retail price, but not the cost price you receive.
With automatic payments switched on, the cost price is taken from the retailer's Shopify Payments balance and sent to the supplier once the order is marked as fulfilled. Shopify doesn't charge extra for automatic payments.
Orders appear in the supplier's Shopify admin to ship direct to the customer, and the order shows as fulfilled in both stores. We make sure stock levels and dispatch times are accurate so partners can rely on them.
We set up returns between you and each partner. Under Shopify's default policy for newer retailers, the supplier processes returns, with a 30-day return window and no label or restocking fee.
We confirm your store is eligible and whether you're better as a supplier, a retailer or both. One business can be both.
We shortlist complementary UK stores and approach them with you.
We set up price lists, margins, payouts and returns, and you approve them before anything goes live.
We keep an eye on orders, stock and payouts, and report on what each partnership sells.
