What is a supplier network or wholesale fulfilment, in simple terms?

It's a way for a business that holds inventory to let other sellers resell those products without the seller ever touching the stock. The seller lists your products, the customer buys from them, and the order routes to you to pick, pack and ship. You set ship-from origins, product categories and markup rules so resellers know what they can source and at what price.

Can WooCommerce stores source products from me if I become a Pludor supplier?

Yes. WooCommerce stores using Pludor's Supply & Fulfil plugin can source products from Pludor suppliers, including you. On your side you just set up Become a Supplier in Fulfillment; on their side they install the plugin, paste their Pludor API key, and their orders sync back to WooCommerce while routing to you to ship.

How do I set wholesale or distributor pricing with a markup rule?

Decide which product categories you'll offer to resellers and how much above your base price they pay. In Pludor's Fulfillment setup, you select distributor categories and set your markup rules, so resellers sourcing your products get consistent wholesale pricing automatically. You can adjust categories and markup any time as your wholesale business grows.

Do I need to pay for a Shopify app like DSers or AutoDS to do dropshipping?

Not if you use Pludor. Automated AliExpress fulfillment is included on every plan, including Free, whereas on Shopify supplier order placement is typically a paid app on top of your store. Pludor also includes AI Studio for product media and lists your store in the Pludor marketplace, instead of bringing your own traffic.

Is it safe to let other stores sell my inventory - who actually ships the orders?

You stay in control: you choose which categories you offer, your markup, and your ship-from origins. Orders from resellers route to you, and you pick, pack and ship them yourself, so your inventory and fulfilment quality stay in your hands. The buyer is notified as you move each order through packed, shipped and delivered.

How do I handle the shipping side when I'm fulfilling orders for other sellers?

Set up your shipping zones and rates (or enable pickup) in the Shipping section, then use the Pack List to see everything to pack today, grouped by product. As you ship, move each order through packed, shipped/out for delivery and delivered - the buyer is notified at each step. Exports are available for accounting or bulk reporting.

What's the difference between being a supplier and dropshipping from AliExpress?

Being a supplier means you hold the stock and other sellers resell it, with their orders routed to you to ship. Dropshipping from AliExpress is the opposite: you import supplier products into your store and Pludor places the supplier orders automatically when customers pay. Pludor supports both, so you can be a supplier and dropship other products at the same time.

I'm a small wholesaler with stock - what's the easiest way to get started?
