Dropshipping for web shops

A matter of communication

Basically, dropshipping is not difficult. The webshop sells something that it does not have in stock, but has the wholesaler ship the product directly to the customer (of the webshop). However, what makes or breaks dropshipping is communication.

First of all, the (correct) products from the supplier must appear in the catalog of the webshop, including the stock quantity. With an extensive collection this is quite a job. And especially if you don't know whether the collection will be a success, this is a high threshold. The question immediately follows: when is an item sold out and how is this communicated? Monitoring the supplier's webshop every day is of course not an option.

And then the orders will follow in your webshop. Copying and pasting all order data into the wholesaler's backend is time-consuming for many orders and encourages errors. Finally, the customer of the webshop must be kept informed of the delivery, usually by means of a track & trace, on behalf of the selling party, in this case the webshop.

Using QR codes on the PC or links on the mobile, customers can project all our works of art on their own wall with one click. In the right format and with the right perspective. It's as if the work of art is really hanging there. And will certainly increase your conversion. Read more about our AR feature and brochure .

Technical demands

Which platform do you use?

Thanks to our automated process, you can quickly start expanding your collection and achieving extra margins. If you want to fully enjoy this, you must have a webshop based on:

  • Shopify (recommended)
  • WooCommerce
  • CCV Shop
  • Prestashop
  • Shopware

If you do not have one of these platforms, you can also set up and process the collection (partly) manually. You will then need to add our artwork to your site, process our sold out notifications and enter orders with us.

Service

This is what you can expect from us

High margins
Most wholesalers charge low margins in the case of dropshipping. That is unjustified, because dropshippers also incur high costs. That is why at Artishoque we charge the same gross margins for both dealers and dropshippers. However, dropshippers are obliged to use the minimum recommended price. In this way we prevent price dumping and can guarantee healthy margins for everyone.

Postage costs
We charge a fixed, cost-based fee for shipping and handling. So even after deducting this, your margins remain intact.

Packaging
All processes at Artishoque are partly focused on dropshipping. This starts with the manufacturing process, where we take the packaging design into account. In contrast to delivery to shops , our packaging is therefore aimed at shipping by post. In all cases where the packaging is not sufficient, we provide sufficient extra protection.

Fast shipping
We deliver all our works of art directly to your customer within 1-5 working days. We ship smaller packages with PostNL. Larger ones with our courier. You will receive a track & trace so that orders can be followed.

Shipping guarantee
Something can always go wrong along the way. But here too we take care of you and your customer, thanks to our shipping guarantee. For example, we exchange a damaged product free of charge or send a new one if it is unexpectedly lost.

Returns
Our return rate is low, approximately 5%. But every return is one too many. They cost you as a webshop owner a lot of time and money. That is why we offer a unique returns service. We do not offer free shipping on returns, but we do take products back. That saves you time, money and stock that you may not be looking for at all. Not least because packaging and contents are often damaged and take a lot of time to repair and ever sell. We may charge costs for shortcomings of your customer, which you can of course pass on.

Cost

Start free

You can participate for just €0 per month. You can then import a maximum of 50 products, but without further restrictions. Ideal to try out our collaboration. To offer all our products on your webshop, you pay 24 euros per month.


Frequently Asked Questions

  • Wat is dropshipping?

  • Dropshipping is een bijzondere samenwerking tussen de groothandel en detaillist. Bij het klassieke inkoop-verkoopmodel houdt de detaillist eigen voorraden aan. Bij dropshippen niet, maar verstuurt de groothandel het product voor de detaillist naar de klant.

  • Voor wie is dropshipping geschikt?

  • Dropshipping is geschikt voor webshops én winkels. Een webshop (zonder winkel) heeft vaak alleen maar last van voorraden, wat met dropshipping dus wordt voorkomen. Een winkel (zonder webshop) heeft (winkel)voorraad nodig, maar kan met dropshipping een bredere collectie en verzendservice aanbieden. In geval van bricks and clicks, is dropshipping dus ook zeer geschikt.

  • Wat dropshippen jullie?

  • Wij dropshippen kunst, en nu alleen nog metalen wanddecoraties. In de nabije toekomst breiden we onze (dropship)collectie in de breedte en diepte uit. Onze huidige collectie bestaat uit een 80-tal toegankelijke kunstwerken van hoge kwaliteit.

  • Wat verdien ik met dropshippen?

  • Met dropshippen maak je dezelfde marges als bij onze groothandel (in- en verkopen). Wij vragen alleen een vaste fee van 10 euro per order. Deze gaat dus van je marge af, maar zou je normaliter ook (deels) kwijt zijn aan verzending en handling.

  • Mag ik mijn eigen prijzen bepalen als ik dropship?

  • Nee, om winkels en serieuze webshops te beschermen met drophippen ben je verplicht onze adviesprijzen te hanteren. Dropshippen kan namelijk makkelijk worden misbruikt om (steeds verder) te concurreren op prijs. Als je je eigen prijzen wilt bepalen, kies dan voor inkopen via onze groothandel. Dan mogen wij geen prijzen opleggen én kun je volumekortingen krijgen om extra marge te maken.

  • Hoe kan ik meedoen als dropshipper?

  • Als je een winkel of webshop hebt waar ons assortiment op aansluit, kun je al snel starten met dropshippen via Artishoque. Het enige wat je nodig hebt is een kvk-inschrijving en een volledige aanmelding.
