vidaXL is starting the Dropshipment program on b2b.vidaXL.com
Plug-ins for Magento 1, 2 and Lightspeed
Available in the whole of Europe, the US and Australia
vidaXL will process the orders and returns

VENRAY/UTRECHT, October 9th, 2017 – International online retailer vidaXL is starting to make its complete assortment available for other web shops. The so-called Dropshipment program is a user-friendly platform that can be used to easily and quickly take over all needed product information to sell vidaXL products on an own webshop.

After the vidaXL Marketplace going live earlier this year, vidaXL will now also start the Dropshipment program.

What does the dropshipment program entail?

-The complete vidaXL catalogue is made available for implementation and sale

-Made easy by uncomplicated plug-ins or data feeds

-vidaXL will handle customer service and process returns

-Ideal for bigger and smaller companies alike

Possibilities on any scale
Dropshippers can link their own webshop to vidaXL’s catalogue before choosing which part of the assortment they want to display in their shop. When a customer places an order, the shop owner can transfer the order to vidaXL for them to process the order, so the customers will quickly receive their product. “For the time being, we have a plug-in available for Magento 1, 2 and Lightspeed. But of course, an API is also available. The content is made available via plug-ins or a data feed”, says Kijo Oudshoorn, CCO at vidaXL.

Chances
vidaXL is active in Europe, the US and Australia, but it is difficult to reach every individual potential customer. The Dropshipment programme will be mutually beneficial as it allows vidaXL to expand their customer base and the dropshippers to expand their assortment. Above all, vidaXL will be an excellent partner for international expansion.

Independent and reliable

The platform will be fully managed by vidaXL. A dedicated department will guide new dropshippers through the whole process and make sure the selection is current. The prices will be very competitive, as usual at vidaXL. In addition, dropshippers do not have to worry about processing the order. vidaXL’s extensive logistic network and experience will enable sellers to keep offering products of the brand effortlessly. Offering a large assortment without the need for an own warehouse or worries about delivery and payment will now be made possible with vidaXL’s Dropshipment program!

vidaXL celebrates 10th anniversary and announces future plans

On June 25th vidaXL, an international online retailer, celebrates 10 years of enabling people to live it up for less. In 2006, founders Gerjan den Hartog and Wouter Bakker started selling a few products in Germany. However, this quickly led to not only an enormous growth, but also the manufacturing of products under vidaXL’s own brand. The number of products produced exclusively under vidaXL’s own brand also grew exponentially, and the company expanded their market to several European countries.

Today, vidaXL operates through 31 own web shops and several sales channels on three different continents. The company currently employs over 500 people in several locations in Australia, China, Romania, the Netherlands and United States. Monthly, vidaXL serves 200 000 individual customers around the world, and continues to make its products available to new customers.

“We at vidaXL are really thankful to our customers and partners for making this anniversary possible. It has been really pleasant to witness the growth of the company and take part in creating this success story. Earlier this year, our hard work was recognized by Thuiswinkel with their Cross-Border Award.” says Gerjan den Hartog.

The company’s success lies in sourcing and offering products at even more competitive prices. vidaXL’s experts keep continuously analyzing the market and trends, in order to offer sought-after products at the best price at the best time.

“For the future, we strive to improve our service, in order to satisfy our customers even more. Furthermore, we will significantly expand our assortment within the few next years, and we will continue to make our products accessible to as many people as possible. This year, we expect to exceed 150 Million euros in turnover.” says Wouter Bakker.

In October this year vidaXL will open its web shops to other sellers by starting its own vida marketplace. “We want to offer everything the customer wants and we can do that with the marketplace. At vidaXL we have 10 years of marketplace experience as a seller and we will use that experience to select the best sellers for our customers.” continues Bakker.
