Our business sells at in person trade shows, and other more esteemed wholesale marketplaces such as Abound, Faire, Trada, etc. We are in over a 100 stores/boutiques across the country. Our products are handmade in the USA. We have a history of sales of course. Should I say more? It's frustrating, because we had felt that this marketplace had potential and because we had clearly met all their criteria but the truth of the matter is that we will have to move on because there's much more opportunity other places. Considering the sellers we did see on this marketplace, I would advise all buyers and prospective sellers to steer clear and go other places. Shopify is trying to get into this and they clearly can't. Their team is not qualified to distinguish between good and bad candidates. I will continue to speak out against this marketplace to many others I know in the same business and also on the ads that I see propagate in many different venues.
Hey there. Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. I'm sorry to hear about the experience you had selling on handshake. Handshake is still growing and we realize we may not have had some of the features you want, or be offered for your specific products currently but we hope to expand and add more features as we're growing. -Rio
I wanted to use this app to find items to sell on my store and thought the app would help me import and sell the items via dropshipping, but it appears to just be an account on a website to buy wholesale items. I'll give the app 3 stars because I like the items available, and the description didn't claim to do what I thought it was going to do.
Hi there! 👋 Thank you for taking the time to write this feedback. Handshake is still young, and we love hearing your opinion! It helps us improve and create a marketplace that meets the needs of both suppliers and retailers. I'm sorry that the whole concept seemed unclear when you're getting started. I'll make sure to pass that on to our team for revision.
It sounds you're looking for a dropshipping solution, and I can recommend Oberlo(https://bit.ly/33qWvLw). Oberlo is a platform that makes it easy to find excellent products to dropship in your Shopify store. Also, check the Dropshipping:101 Course (https://bit.ly/2HE4iMU). Not only is it full of resources for you to learn from, but it's also created as a step-by-step guide, so it's easy to follow along. And, it's free! 😊 No matter which platform or app you choose, I wish you all the best with your business! -Iris
The way your email is worded, it sounds like you are trying to reach out to those businesses that dropship. However when one looks at the nuts and bolts that is not what is actually being offered. In the email, it states "...it even has many brands that offer white-labeling and dropshipping." Only to find out that is not a true statement at this time. I dropship because I do not want to package, and mail out any product. Why dangle the carrot, and not offer the goods?
Hey there. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! Handshake is still a fairly new platform. Although directly you may not be able to at this time get white-labeling. You can reach out to the available suppliers and some may offer this service. We're always looking to add features to the platform so look out for those in the future! 🙂 -Rio
