Dropshipping

Dropshipping and print-on-demand on your Eomly store

Sell products without buying stock up front. Connect a supplier, import what you want to offer, list it on your branded Eomly storefront, and the supplier ships when a customer orders.

What dropshipping means here

Dropshipping is a way to sell physical goods without running a warehouse. You choose products from a connected supplier, set your retail price on Eomly, and publish them to your store. When someone buys, the order is fulfilled by that supplier — they handle production or packing and ship to the customer.

Print-on-demand (POD) is the same idea for custom designs: apparel, accessories, and similar items are printed after the order, so you never hold blank inventory. On Eomly, POD and catalog dropshipping live in the same Dropshipping area of your seller dashboard.

Suppliers you can connect

Connecting a supplier is free. Every seller can link all five supported partners and import products — there is no extra charge to open those connections.

  • Printful — premium print-on-demand apparel and accessories. Design in your Printful store linked to Eomly, then pull products into your catalog.
  • Gelato — global print-on-demand with local production in many regions, so shipping stays closer to the buyer.
  • CJ Dropshipping — a large general merchandise catalog for classic dropshipping across many categories.
  • AliExpress — browse and import from AliExpress dropshipping inventory after you connect your account.
  • Alibaba — source wholesale-style dropship products through Alibaba’s dropshipping flow and list them on Eomly.

How the flow works

  1. Open your free Eomly storefront and seller account.
  2. Go to Apps → Dropshipping in the seller dashboard.
  3. Connect Printful, Gelato, CJ, AliExpress, or Alibaba with your own supplier account.
  4. Browse or refresh that supplier’s catalog, pick products, and set your selling price.
  5. Publish to your branded storefront — and get discovered on the Eomly Marketplace when you list there.
  6. When a buyer orders, the supplier fulfills and ships. You manage the order from your Eomly dashboard.

Print-on-demand vs catalog products

Print-on-demand (Printful, Gelato) is best when your brand is the design — logos, artwork, merch, and personalized goods. You create or upload the design with the supplier, then sell the finished item on Eomly.

Catalog dropshipping (CJ, AliExpress, Alibaba) is best when you want ready-made products already in a supplier catalog. You import listings, set your margin, and sell without designing blanks yourself.

Many sellers use both: POD for branded merch, and catalog suppliers for complementary products in the same store.
