Help a company offer drop-shipping

We are in the process of developing a drop-ship program. Our goal is to be a preferred drop-ship vendor. We are at a loss on what we need to offer drop-ship sellers. We have the following questions so far:

What's the preferred order process?
What payment forms and terms are preferred? Should we keep a credit card on file via a company like Stripe and charge the card?
How are commissions structured? Are these a set discount on MSRP or a commission structure based on quantity of sales?

Thank you in advance for your help.

    All dropship suppliers do things a little bit differently but here is what is typical:

    For payment, we pay with a credit card at time of order. Most take all major credit cards and some even accept PayPal. Typically we use a MasterCard or Visa.

    Some companies have a website set up specifically for resellers where you enter a login and password and order at wholesale prices right there. Others just have us Email them orders.

    Commissions are all over the place and very niche dependent. For small consumer electronics, you typically cannot get more than 15% off the normal retail price. For jewelry, wholesale prices are anywhere from 50% to 90% less than MSRP. For most products, the wholesale price is somewhere from 20-30% less than the retail price. Supplements tend to be higher discounts - in most cases about half price or more.

    And sure, if someone is doing a great volume of sales, you might consider giving them an even bigger discount. That will keep them promoting your products more vs. the competition's products.

    Shipping is also something you need to be concerned with. Will your prices include shipping and if so, to where? I can tell you having set prices for anything shipped to the USA is a big plus!

  • We have a woocommerce store. We can set up a dropshipper role and products specific to dropshippers with discounts built in. We will offer you guys free shipping within the U.S.

    Your billing address will remain static and you will be able to enter a shipping address for each order. When we ship products, I assume we should show your address as the return address. Is this correct?

    Thank you for your answers. Anything else on your wish lists?

      Most of our suppliers show their address as the return address but with our company name on top of that address.
