Partnership for the Swiss market

Dropshipping in Switzerland – made for the Swiss market.

Are you a manufacturer, wholesaler or product supplier? OpenDeal gives you another sales channel in Switzerland. You do not need your own marketplace.

Your products appear on OpenDeal. OpenDeal handles the sale. You keep prices, stock and shipping data up to date and send released orders directly to the shipping address.

Benefits for product suppliers

More reach with OpenDeal.

Your products get their own pages in the Swiss shop. Product data, stock and shipping details remain linked to your range. You do not maintain a second shop solution.

OpenDeal handles the product page, order and payment. You focus on your range, stock and safe shipping.

01

Additional Swiss sales channel

Your products get their own pages in the public OpenDeal shop. Buyers can find them there.

02

No transfer of goods to OpenDeal

The goods remain with you. You ship only after an order has been confirmed and released for shipping.

03

Structured data import

Product, price and stock data can be imported via CSV, XML, JSON, API or SFTP, depending on the agreement.

04

Clear product presentation

Titles, text, prices, shipping methods and images are shown clearly in both languages.

05

Up-to-date stock

Regular updates help stop out-of-stock products from staying on sale.

06

Clear roles and B2B billing

OpenDeal collects the buyer payment and sends the customer invoice. You bill product and shipping costs only to Management Consulting Mayr.

Connect your range

From testing to a live product range.

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

  • Defined mapping of your data fields
  • Test import before launch
  • Check of images, prices and shipping data
  • Regular updates of stock and prices
  • Logged import and error reports

How the partnership works

Four clearly separated steps.

1

Review range and suitability

You send company details, a range overview, shipping countries and return rules. This allows us to assess fit, shipping times and the right starting point.

2

Set up data and test import

We clarify the format, field mapping, pricing rules and test import. We then set up a small trial run for the first products.

3

Release products

After the test, suitable products are released with current prices, stock and images. Subsequent changes can then be imported cleanly.

4

Ship directly and neutrally

You receive released fulfilment orders and ship neutrally and directly to the customer. Status, tracking and your B2B invoice are sent back to OpenDeal.

Fulfilment and responsibility

Reliable delivery is the OpenDeal standard with partners.

The dropshipping partner supplies and ships the goods. OpenDeal remains the seller. The partner keeps supplier data and stock correct, packs the goods well, ships on time, sends tracking and follows the agreed return and defect steps.

  • Ability to deliver to Switzerland
  • Flexible shipping rules for each order, parcel, item, product or shipping group
  • Tracking for trackable parcel shipments
  • Clear rights to images and product data, plus product compliance
  • Clear contact person for errors and complaints

Partners we are looking for

Suitable for partners with robust processes.

What matters is not company size, but that the range, data and shipping are managed reliably. Before launch, we review together whether the steps are suitable for stable direct shipping.

Clear dutiesNamed contact person and defined steps.
Fresh product dataPrices, stock and shipping data remain clear and traceable.
Predictable direct shippingOrders are handled securely, neutrally and with status updates.
Reliable joint workTerms, status reporting and alert paths are clearly defined.

Company and range

Full company details, clear brand and sales rights, and a range that stays in stock.

Data quality

Unique product numbers, clear text, correct prices, current stock, shipping data and good images.

Shipping and service

Steady handling times, safe packing, clear status updates and fixed complaint steps.

Contract, data protection and terms

Prices, shipping, returns, duties and update steps are agreed in writing before launch.

Technical integration

CSV, XML, JSON, API or EDI are possible. Fields and statuses are clearly mapped before launch.

Monitoring and escalation

Errors, stock gaps and shipping problems require clear steps. Duties and response times are defined in advance.

Day to day

This keeps collaboration simple.

You provide reliable product data and ship ordered goods. OpenDeal keeps the sales process clear for customers. Changes to prices or stock can be imported regularly. A defined process reduces follow-up questions. Each side knows its duties. This works well for large ranges and recurring orders.

01

Keep stock up to date

If an item is no longer available, it should not remain on sale. Current data protects both sides.

02

Report prices accurately

Purchase prices and agreed costs must be correct. This keeps billing clear and traceable.

03

Ship promptly

Released orders go directly to you. You pack the goods securely and send them to the specified address.

04

Send status updates

After shipping, you report the status and tracking number. This allows the shipping to be tracked clearly.

05

Expand the range

After a good test, extra products can follow. The range grows in clear steps.

06

Swiss focus

OpenDeal serves customers in Switzerland. This keeps rules, currency and shipping routes clear.

Frequently asked questions

Clearly defined before launch.

Who is the seller and receives the customer payment?

Management Consulting Mayr is the seller, contract party, payment recipient and invoice issuer. The dropshipping partner gets no buyer funds. It sends its B2B invoice to Management Consulting Mayr.

Must goods be delivered to OpenDeal?

No. The goods remain with the partner and are shipped neutrally and directly to a Swiss shipping address after a shipping order has been released.

How are shipping costs calculated?

For each partner and product, a base price, price per parcel, item, product or shipping group, surcharges and free-shipping thresholds can be defined. Checkout applies the effective rule before payment.

Who determines prices and stock?

OpenDeal sets the buyer price. The partner sends purchase prices, pack units, minimum amounts, current stock and shipping times.

Are all products published automatically?

No. Products are published only after good checks of data, images, rights, compliance and stock.

Is an API mandatory?

No. CSV, XML, JSON or SFTP are also possible. Field mapping is stored per partner and tested before launch.
