Do I need a Shopify account?
No. Sign up, connect Stripe payouts, import a supplier product, and publish a storefront at /store/your-link. Shopify is an optional sales channel.
FAQ
Practical answers for sellers setting up a hosted store.
Which suppliers can fulfill a product?
CJ Dropshipping, Printful, Printify, and a direct supplier who onboarded on this platform. The research catalog in the dashboard is sample data and cannot be sold.
Who gets paid when a customer checks out?
Stripe collects the payment on the platform account. The supplier cost and a configurable platform fee are covered first. The seller receives the remainder. API suppliers are paid from the platform balance. Direct suppliers receive a Connect transfer.
Are test orders billed?
Stripe stays in test mode until STRIPE_LIVE_MODE is set with a live key. Supplier orders stay in sandbox until SUPPLIER_ORDERS_MODE=live. Sandbox does not confirm Printful orders, send Printify orders to production, or pay the CJ wallet.
Can I connect Etsy, eBay, or TikTok Shop?
Those directories are listed because their APIs exist, and they are marked coming soon. Connecting them needs an approved partner app, which this deployment does not start. Shopify and WooCommerce can be connected with credentials this app validates.
What does the free plan include?
Free accounts can save 10 products, keep 25 research-catalog products, and publish 25 hosted listings. Pro removes those limits. Supplier API import for the storefront uses the platform keys and is available to signed-in sellers.
