Welcome to the Inventory Source Dropship Community and Support Site
Inventory Source is the original dropship reseller data service provider, and we are still the largest service provider connecting resellers directly to their real dropship supplier programs. There are other firms which claim to help you with your dropship products, but they hide the program and product source profiting from your hard work. Inventory Source has been in business since 2002 and is head quartered in Charlotte, North Carolina servicing dropship resellers all over the world. Since our founding we had a few simple goals in mind:
Provide Resellers with direct links to REAL and high quality larger dropship programs. Help dropship resellers manage and sell thousands of products as easily as one with update services. Server as a knowledge resource and provide ways to allow resellers to promote dropship products regardless of their shopping cart platform or dropship suppliers.
We are not middle men, and unlike other sites we stand by that statement. We help you create your account DIRECTLY with the legitimate dropship product source. You see their prices and control your orders. If you only need help finding the right program for you, then we can help you to do that for free. When you grow or need help updating your online presence with the latest price, quantity, status, and new product updates every day, then we are here to help. Think of us as your IT Department or Supply Chain Manager. Inventory Source is your source for dropship services. With no long term contracts, our business is based on helping the dropship reseller succeed. Growing your business is our business.

Over the years our guides and tutorials and support content has grown to large too remain on our main site at www.InventorySource.com, so we developed this dropship reseller support portal. To learn more about our business feel free to visit our main site. We understand your business and your needs. We have developed a powerful suit of tools exactly for your business. We are NOT a "turnkey site". We can work with the shopping cart platform and 3rd party marketplaces that you choose. Below is a sample of just some of the value adding services that we can provide to you.
Tools: Formatted Data Files
While consolidation is a powerful too, be sure to do your research! There are many companies on the internet these days that will promise you an all-in-one service, but many of them are actually just middlemen. When consolidating your operations, be certain that you are not giving up your profit margins on your inventory or overpaying for unnecessary services. Products Alerts - Daily/Weekly/Monthly
You choose the frequency of the Alerts, and we will notify you of all new products for your suppliers. You can even find out that very same day! Enhanced product information
If you have ever tried to use a data feed direct from the supplier you know how imperfect the data can be. Inventory Source removes all bad characters from the feed which disrupt an internet browsers ability to differentiate between text and HTML. We also correctly apply the data from the supplier to the fields that you need. For example, some suppliers send image names, titles, and other details in the description field. We ensure the data is only placed in the fields where it is required. Image pulls and updated zip files
We collect your images several times a week and convert them into the image format that your site requires. You can create the zip file with your images for large, small, and new images. Custom Price Markup Settings
No one would want to manually set or update prices for several thousand products, but that is exactly what happens when your business is not supported by Inventory Source. You can use the Custom Price Setting Tool to review your existing price strategy for each of your websites or custom files. You can apply different prices for each supplier, website, or custom file. You design the price strategy that you want applied to your products, and we will update your prices every day for you. Custom Pricing Overrides
Not only do you have all of the great options for Custom Price Markup Settings, but you can even create product specific price override. This lets you change your product prices in bulk AND still allow you to be as precise as you need for all product price strategies. Custom File Creation & Download
Besides our great standard file formats, we can build a file with your product data with the exact format that your unique shopping cart or market place requires. Some sites make you use their platform to take advantage of their services. At Inventory Source, we think you should be in control of the shopping cart that you prefer. Let us build a custom file for you and update it daily with the latest data from your dropship supplier. Supplier Browsing
It is hard to find quality dropship programs by searching on-line. Many of you do not have the time or means to go to trade shows or industry events. Worse yet, there are plenty of sites online that say they have done this or say they are a dropship supplier. We are not selling a list. You can review our suppliers now for free regardless of if you use our services or not. It is a growing network of some of the most trusted dropship suppliers and we work hard to grow our network of integrated supplier programs every month. FREE Guides and Tutorials
We are always adding new guides and tutorials on our Dropship Community & Support site. Let us know if you have more questions and we will try to find ways to help your business succeed.
Free/Included Services: Custom Category Management
For automation users who want to change their categories, our updates are applied to the products regardless of where you categorize your products. Also, if you have a platform with our Product Loading Service, we can add new products to your site with custom categories. To allow your custom category structure to remain in place on your site, we can load the new products to an existing or new category of your choice. The products are loaded to this location on your site, and you can recategorize them as needed. MAP Filtering (when available)
Protect your site against having Minimum Allow Price violations. When there is a MAP provided in the supplier feed we can apply your custom price setting or the MAP depending on which is the higher price. Daily Automation email status reports
You receive verification that your updates have completed, as well as any new images or products that have been loaded. Notification of new suppliers
No one likes junk mail. Inventory Source will only send you an email newsletter when we have added new features or suppliers. We try to only send a monthly newsletter as a notice of our growing list of reseller value adding services monthly. Automated Image loading (Beta)
We provide free image loaded for our Hosted Site members. When we pull the new images from the supplier we are able to add them to the site. We can also integrate this service with some externally hosted platforms, like Zen Cart, osCommerce, CRE Loaded and Joomla ($99 Setup Fee). FREE Guides and Tutorials
NYes we already said this, but they are both a service and a tool. If you have any questions or topics that you would like the Inventory Source Editorial Staff to provide additional content to meet your needs, just email support@inventorysource.com with your request.
