Partnership for the Swiss market

Dropshipping partners are explicitly welcome at OpenDeal.

Are you a manufacturer, wholesaler, distributor or professional product supplier? OpenDeal gives you an additional Swiss sales channel without requiring you to build your own marketplace.

Your products are presented in a structured way. You keep stock and prices current and ship paid orders directly to customers or through your existing fulfilment solution.

Benefits for product suppliers

More reach, clear processes and no additional shop to operate.

OpenDeal combines professional product presentation, Swiss customers, secure payment and traceable order processes. You focus on your range, availability and reliable shipping.

01

Additional Swiss sales channel

Your products receive dedicated product pages and become visible in the public OpenDeal catalogue.

02

No stock transfer to OpenDeal

Goods remain with you. You ship only after an order has been confirmed and released for fulfilment.

03

Structured data integration

Depending on the agreement, product, price and stock data can be imported through CSV, XML, JSON, API or SFTP.

04

Consistent product presentation

Titles, descriptions, prices, delivery methods and product images are presented consistently in German and English.

05

Current availability

Regular synchronisation helps prevent unavailable products from remaining on sale.

06

Traceable fulfilment

Orders, shipping status, tracking and settlements follow the jointly agreed processes.

Technical integration

From test data to a live catalogue.

We first review a limited test quantity. Products are published only after fields, variants, images, prices and stock have been checked successfully.

  • Defined mapping of your data fields
  • Test import before publication
  • Validation of images, prices and delivery information
  • Regular stock and price updates
  • Logged import and error reports

How the partnership works

Four clearly separated steps.

1

Review the range and suitability

You provide company details, a range overview, delivery countries, shipping times and return terms.

2

Set up data and a test import

We define the format, field mapping, pricing rules and a limited test run.

3

Approve products

Suitable products are published with current prices, stock and images after review.

4

Ship confirmed orders

You receive confirmed orders, dispatch them on time and return status and tracking information.

Fulfilment and responsibility

Reliable delivery is the foundation.

The dropshipping partner remains responsible for correct product data, actual availability, suitable packaging, on-time dispatch and the agreed return processes.

  • Ability to deliver to Switzerland
  • Transparent handling times and shipping costs
  • Tracking for parcel shipments
  • Legally usable product images and product data
  • A clear contact for discrepancies and claims

Partners we are looking for

Designed for professional suppliers with dependable processes.

Company and range

Complete company details, clear brand and distribution rights, and a range that can be supplied consistently.

Data quality

Unique item numbers, useful descriptions, prices, stock, delivery data and high-quality images.

Reliable handling times, secure packaging, status updates and defined complaint processes.

Transparent commercial terms

Commission, payment flows, cancellations, returns and data updates are agreed in writing before launch.

Frequently asked questions

Clear before launch.

Must stock be delivered to OpenDeal?

No. In a dropshipping model the goods remain with the partner and are shipped directly after a confirmed order.

Who controls prices and stock?

The agreement defines the pricing logic. The partner supplies reliable base prices and current stock information.

Are all products published automatically?

No. Products are reviewed technically and editorially. Unsuitable or incomplete records are not published.

Is an API mandatory?

No. Structured files or SFTP may also be used depending on volume. Automated integration is useful for frequent changes.
