How to do Dropshipping with Webflow Builder?

Conversation taken from Webflow forum

Hi there! I’m seriously considering purchasing Webflow for dropshipping. Some sources have said that Webflow is not compatible with dropshipping. However, it is possible for Weblow coding conversion to a Shopify store.

I am curious to know what other users recommend, and if so, would anybody care to share their feelings and experiences with Webflow.
Would you also recommend that I convert Webflow code to Shopify (given that I don’t know much about programming)?

We are grateful for all your input and suggestions.

It is theoretically possible.

I’m more concerned about these dropshipping scammers infecting the webflow community.

Dropshipping is a logistical model that allows you to not hold any inventory. However, if dropshipping is a common business model that people get into they are selling complete crap to people using shady marketing techniques and poor customer service…

webflow is all about making the internet better – in every way possible.

Theoretically, you could use webflow to dropship – so why not?
But I highly recommend that you focus on building a high quality band with long-term goals and great customer experiences.

We wish you the best for your business and all the success.

We are grateful!
I completely get what you are trying to say.
Dropshipping is a popular way to make quick money, but it’s not about the user or their experience.
Although I’m going to start my own brand, I’m not sure what I should sell or how to be truthful. Dropshipping is a way to confirm if a product’s worth selling. Dropshipping is something I am still learning, but it is not something that I intend to do forever. Dropshipping is what I want to do to make more capital, and to start my own brand. Not to sell “dodgy” goods that are commonly used in the industry. Dropshipping is fine by me, except for certain people’s lack of respect for the user.
I appreciate your feedback and thank you!

If you have time, could you please elaborate?
It is now possible, and it is possible.
But how can I do it?

An ecommerce store could be set up with all the products you wish to ship (the role ends here). You can then manually pass orders through to your supplier, or automate the sending of orders via API.

It might be worth looking into if you can pass a webflow order on to the next stage using something like Zapier.

If you want your own backend to process the webflow order’s incoming orders, your backend could talk to the supplier API. You can also control what data is sent. Since you are asking if it is possible, I assume that it isn’t.

You are most welcome.

Yes, ozone did it. You can use different types automation software to send your orders and customer data to your supplier. It’s a little more complex than shopify + oberlo, but it is possible.

If you are working with a private supplier, you can simply hand him a google sheet each day.

Webflow is a popular tool for freelance designers and agencies. This San Francisco-based startup is backed by serious funding. They recently received $140 million in Series B funding, on top of an earlier injection of $72 millions. This has allowed them to increase their user base to more than a million worldwide.

What makes Webflow stand out from other website builders is its ability to create custom-built websites. Webflow offers a unique product, as it targets designers. While many platforms are marketed to people who are less tech-savvy, Webflow is not. Webflow offers a powerful solution to transform high-spec designs into fully functional websites – without any coding.

Webflow has been compared to WordPress many times over the years. They claim to offer many advantages over WordPress, including greater creativity, site security and ease-of-use.

This is something that has always interested us as WordPress users. Let’s see if Webflow can take on the challenge.

Summary of Webflow Review

Webflow is more than a website builder. Webflow completely eliminates the need for web designers to pass off website designs to developers. This is a great tool for advanced users and designers who wish to create their own site but need more design freedom than other site builders such as Squarespace or Weebly.

The product is a combination of a CMS and a website builder. The product gives you complete control over the design and building of fully responsive websites. You can also customize mobile versions, unlike most other website builders. The visual editor allows you to make sitewide changes without the need for plugins.

Webflow’s approach to Wix Editor X is in this vein. However, we find it a bit more complex. Webflow is still much easier than WordPress and far more intuitive.

Webflow is able to host your WordPress site for you. This is another key feature of WordPress. You don’t have to use your own web hosting provider (or the less flexible WordPress.com).

Webflow, unlike WordPress, places a great deal of emphasis on customer service. They offer lots of useful resources in their Webflow University including videos tutorials, articles and a forum.

Collaboration with other teams or clients is required for all team members. Webflow allows you to create team areas within your account. This will allow you to share your website project and allow others to see/make suggestions, or edit it.
