What sets Dragonfly Depot apart from other website providers is that we manage the day-to-day operations of your ecommerce website so you can spend your time and resources on what you do best – running your brick and mortar store. We provide the products, enter and manage product data, maintain a secure website, manage customer service, process customer payments, pack the boxes, and ship the orders. We take the inventory risk, provide the infrastructure, warehousing, staffing, materials, and IT skills needed to run an ecommerce business.
Here’s how it works…
When you join Dragonfly Depot, we build you a new website.
You can customize your site
With Dragonfly Depot, you can easily change the look of your website. Our easy-to-use web-based control panel lets you create your own custom themes, update your store information, create pages on your site, upload images, videos, and document files, plus, embed any modern web services such as Facebook, Twitter, blogs or calendars. This puts you in complete control of the look and feel of your website. For more information on how you can customize your website, go here.
You choose which products are offered on your site
Dragonfly Depot supplies and warehouses thousands of products including toys, games, baby gear, hobby, books and gifts in our fulfillment center. Of the many products we carry, you can select the product categories and brands that best reflect your brick and mortar store or simply opt to sell it all. If your store sends out a print catalog, you can also feature those products on your website. You can even mark products as being available to purchase in your storefront.
Using the web-based control panel, you will be in complete control of which products are offered to your online customers. You’ll be able to manage your products with a few clicks of the mouse, or we can manage it for you. For more information, go here.
You can adjust the pricing
Once you select the products you wish to sell on your website, you may adjust the price to reflect the pricing in your store front or in your catalog. (Don’t worry – we always enforce minimum advertised pricing!)
We manage the product data
Dragonfly Depot enters and manages all product data. Our product listings include photos, descriptions, safety warnings, age groups, and other attributes for customers to search or browse and make informed buying decisions. For more information, go here.
Our staff packs and ships your orders
Your online orders are shipped from our fulfillment center labelled with your store brand. For more information, go here.
We manage the customer service for your website
Dragonfly Depot provides phone support and customer service for your online customers. For more information on our customer service, go here.
You can track your online sales
You will have access to all of your online sales and phone orders through the web-based control panel. For more information, go here.
You earn commissions
We supply and warehouse the inventory, we pack and ship your orders, we manage the customer service, and you earn a commission from every sale. Sounds pretty easy, doesn’t it?
In fact, by the time you consider the cost of your inventory and freight, payment processing fees, running your own shipping center, additional labor, maintaining a secure website, IT support, and the other many operational costs, your commission, typically about 10%, will usually be greater than if you and your staff did all of the work yourselves.
Let us do what we do best, running the day-to-day operations of your ecommerce business so you can stay focused on what you do best – running your storefront.
Your Store. Online. Simplified.
