New Solution Offers One-Click Process for Merchants and Speedy Shipping for their Customers
AUSTIN – June 13, 2018 – Volusion, the only ecommerce platform on the market built specifically for the needs of small- and medium-sized businesses, today announced a new integration, available now for merchants, to utilize dropshipping features on the Volusion platform.
Volusion’s dropshipping feature offers a simple and seamless way for merchants to make additional products available to their customers without having to stock merchandise in their inventory. Volusion has selected Inventory Source as its premier partner and will work with additional providers as the app evolves.
Dropshipping is an easy way to get a store off of the ground, or to enhance a store’s engagement with existing customers by offering additional products that complement a current catalog. It also provides expanded market reach for merchants and suppliers alike. Currently, the top product categories for dropshipping with Volusion include adult casual apparel, kid & baby clothing and accessories, outdoor/camping, health & wellness items like cleansers, moisturizers, and supplements, and specialty & organic food items.
Unlike dropshipping features offered by other ecommerce platforms, Volusion’s feature provides a one-click process for merchants to add products to their websites. The integration could not be easier: merchants simply install the app and pick the products they want to add. Orders are created with two clicks, and products are sent straight from the suppliers to shoppers within a few days.
“Dropshipping is a hot topic across the ecommerce industry right now and one of the most requested features from our founders. Our team conducted extensive research, which showed us that merchants find other versions to be complicated and confusing, requiring a merchant to jump back and forth between sites and multiple logins,” said Kevin Sproles, CEO and founder of Volusion. “We took a very user-centric approach to designing our solution, and it is fully integrated into our platform to eliminate any of these issues.”
Products available to Volusion merchants via dropshipping are high-quality and only provided by U.S.-based suppliers, with three to five day shipping times and flat shipping costs to the 48 contiguous states. Offerings from other ecommerce platforms ship from abroad, with shipping times up to 40 days and varying shipping costs. Volusion merchants have a direct line to the suppliers, enabling quick and seamless returns at a low cost. Volusion is continuing to grow and enhance their offerings over time, with tens of thousands of products now and hundreds of thousands coming.
