Well, the good news is that your cries have not been falling on deaf ears! We have been hard at work throughout 2019 to develop an app to make it happen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The moment you&#8217;ve been waiting for is finally here &#8211; we have launched the drop-shipping app (currently only available with Shopify) and you can now add your Contrado products to your Shopify storefront in just three simple steps!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"385\" src=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/shopify-stream-1-1024x385.jpg\" alt=\"three simple steps\" class=\"wp-image-5429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/shopify-stream-1-1024x385.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/shopify-stream-1-300x113.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/shopify-stream-1-768x289.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/shopify-stream-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>Step One &#8211; Create Your Contrado Drop-Shipper Account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/drop-shipping\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Sign up to Contrado Drop-Shipping (opens in a new tab)\">Sign up to Contrado Drop-Shipping<\/a> using the same email that you created your Contrado account with. We will then send you a confirmation email which will contain a confirmation link. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply click on that link to confirm everything and you&#8217;re officially a drop-shipper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Step Two &#8211; Create a Shopify Account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Head to the Shopify website and create an account. You&#8217;ll be asked to provide personal information as well as a unique shop name. Once set up, head to the &#8216;App Store&#8217; located in the left menu and search for &#8216;Contrado&#8217;. Click on the icon or text and then click &#8216;Add App&#8217;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once that&#8217;s all done you need to head to the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"'My Stores' (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/estore\/account\/manage\/stores\" target=\"_blank\">&#8216;My Stores&#8217;<\/a> tab and sync your store. You will only ever need to sync your Shopify and Contrado stores once, but it can take some time, depending on how many products you have in your Contrado store already. (If you don&#8217;t have a Contrado Store already, it&#8217;s pretty simple to make one, and you can see a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"full guide on how to do so here (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/faq\/78\" target=\"_blank\">full guide on how to do so here<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Step Three &#8211; Add Your Products From Contrado to Your Shopify Store<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s entirely up to you how you do this. You&#8217;ve got two options! The first is to manually add each product to your Shopify store. Every time you create a Contrado product, it will appear within your admin panel, in drafts on your Shopify store. You&#8217;ll need to manually make it available for purchase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second option is to auto-publish your Contrado products to your live store. This means that all the products that you create within your Contrado store will go straight to your live, published Shopify store. They&#8217;ll be available for your customers to purchase immediately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"438\" src=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/ecommerce-2140603_1280-1024x438.jpg\" alt=\"online shopping\" class=\"wp-image-5439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/ecommerce-2140603_1280-1024x438.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/ecommerce-2140603_1280-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/ecommerce-2140603_1280-768x329.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/ecommerce-2140603_1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>Check out our video tutorial<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To see exactly how easy it is, you can check out our video tutorial below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Integrate your Shopify store with Contrado - A Quick Guide\" width=\"1346\" height=\"757\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/btymX1J4yII?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>Et Voila!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s it.
