Wholesale marketplaces have been a game-changer for both suppliers and retailers. Which is a good thing.
After all, nobody’s eager to select items by line sheet number, or keep track of emails scattered throughout their inbox.
Online wholesale just took another big step forward with the launch ofHandshake, the brand new wholesale marketplace built and operated by Shopify. Whether you’re a retailer hoping to round out your catalog or a supplier looking to land new business, Handshake is for you.
As a wholesale marketplace, Handshake:
- Gives retailers access to tens of thousands of products from handpicked suppliers
- Brings new business to brands that sell wholesale
- Connects retailers and suppliers to create lasting, scalable relationships
Best of all, Handshake does this all fromwithinShopify生态系统。如果你已经在使用Shopify, your inventory, billing, and orders will all be in the same places you're used to.
