Drop shipping without manual work.
Pass orders on to your suppliers automatically
With drop shipping, every order goes to the right supplier without manual work. This OPAL handles this as soon as the order comes in: items that the supplier ships directly are bundled into one sub-order per supplier and automatically sent to that supplier.
What this OPAL does for you
Automatically split by supplier: When an order comes in, a sub-order containing their items is created for each supplier – the remaining items form a separate partial delivery.
Suppliers notified automatically: Each supplier receives an email with their line items; a failed email does not block the order and can be resent in the admin area.
Tracking back to the customer: The tracking number reported by the supplier is added to the sub-order and passed on to the customer – without switching to a second interface.
Part of the OPAL family

Set up suppliers as direct shippers
Each supplier has a "DropShipping" section for the order email, the address and the "Order processing via email" switch; address and email are then mandatory. You flag suppliers that ship directly themselves with "Own warehouse" and assign their items to them.
Automatic splitting when an order comes in
As soon as an order comes in, the items of suppliers flagged "Own warehouse" are bundled into one sub-order per supplier. All other items form a separate remaining partial delivery, so the entire order is covered. The feature can be enabled per store.
Supplier email with all the details
After the split, each supplier receives an email with their line items, the order and delivery number and the shipping address. The text is multilingual content you can edit in the admin area. A failed email does not block the order – the store owner is notified and can resend it individually.
Overview in the order tab
A "DropShipping" section in the order lists the supplier sub-orders with their notification status (sent, failed or pending), the error message, the delivery status including tracking, and a button to resend.
Record the supplier's shipping notification
You enter the tracking number and expected delivery date for each supplier sub-order in the admin area. This marks it as shipped, saves the tracking and notifies the customer – without you having to transfer the number to a second interface.
No duplicate customer email
A tracking number reported later updates the sub-order without triggering a second customer email. Shipping notifications are only accepted for sub-orders that belong to a supplier.
Who is this OPAL for?
Merchants with multiple suppliers
You sell goods that several suppliers ship directly to your customers.
How it helps
This OPAL automatically splits every incoming order by supplier and forwards it by email. The tracking numbers reported by the suppliers are added to the sub-order and passed on to the customer – without manual follow-up.
