FAQs
-
What is dropshipping and how does Modalyst implement it?
Dropshipping is a retail method where online stores avoid purchasing inventory by having suppliers fulfill orders directly to customers. Modalyst automates this process by connecting retailers with suppliers, handling order routing, inventory updates, and shipping coordination. -
What is Modalyst's return policy for products?
Modalyst has a universal 14-day return policy for products from their marketplace (excluding AliExpress items) for items in undamaged, unworn condition with tags attached. AliExpress suppliers have individual return policies that retailers should review. -
How do retailers pay for products sold through Modalyst?
For integrated stores (Shopify/Wix), orders are automatically routed to Modalyst upon customer purchase. Retailers then pay for items in their orders section. For other retailers using CSV files, they pay brands directly through their inventory list after sales. -
Does Modalyst guarantee product availability?
Modalyst doesn't hold inventory but connects stores to suppliers who maintain their own stock. Suppliers are required to update inventory counts, and Modalyst automatically updates stock levels on storefronts as items are purchased. -
What types of suppliers are available on Modalyst?
Modalyst features private label manufacturers, handmade indie brands, and AliExpress suppliers, including hundreds of vetted US dropshipping suppliers and international vendors offering fast shipping and affordable products.
