Dragonfly Depot is much more than an ecommerce solution:
Building and maintaining your own order fulfillment service takes time and resources, which are often overlooked when deciding to sell online, including:
Dragonfly Depot has the infrastructure and expertise in order fulfillment and will allow you to focus on what you do best – run your store.
The Dragonfly Depot white-label order fulfillment service was designed with your customers in mind. We maintain your store identity by displaying your logo and name on the packing slip and shipping label, and by answering calls as “your store” online. Your customers will not even know that their order was filled by us. Dragonfly Depot is your invisible partner doing all of the work to give your customers the service they deserve. Here are some of our customer service features
This varies, of course, depending on a number of factors. A well-run ecommerce website will be doing very well to net 10% after all of their operating expenses, fixed cost, and inventory cost. Our commissions average about 10%, depending on the product pricing and margin on the items sold. With no infrastructure, staffing, or inventory cost, this is very competitive, and in many cases, much more than you would earn if you did all of the work yourself.
Website development costs vary drastically depending on many factors including: the technology used for the website platform, designer time required to customize the website, programmer time required to customize the website, the prevailing market rate for similar websites, and the cost structure and profit goals of the company. Dragonfly Depot uses a custom-designed platform that allows us to launch your website efficiently and seamlessly, while providing a modern, high quality website that integrates with search engines and customers expectations.
Our websites are loaded with features to make online shopping easy for your customers. Here are the main features:

Website design is one of the most important factors in optimizing for search engines. We could have used an out-of-the box eCommerce system, but found that the 1990′s technology just was not designed to be search engine friendly. With the ever-changing science of “Search”, we wanted a system that can be updated to use the latest technology. This is why we custom-designed our platform which includes the following features:
In addition to good web design, we also help you set up your Google Local page or manage it for you if you want. This ensures that your local customers will find your store when they search.
Dragonfly Depot takes security very seriously and we believe it is our responsibility to provide the latest security technology to protect your customers, your website, and your business. The founder and lead developer at Dragonfly Depot has extensive experience in IT systems involving Human Subjects Research Compliance (HIPPA and Federal Regulations), Banking (Sarbanes-Oxley), and eCommerce systems (PCI Compliance, Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998), all of which require the proper experience, knowledge, and the upmost diligence to protect data and to comply with Federal Security Regulations. He elaborates, “when I taught at the University of Michigan, I used to tell my students that ‘Security, Useability, Accessability, and Functionality are the foundation to any IT system and website design.’ Cutting corners on any of these is simply not acceptable, and in the case of security, also violates Federal Regulations and puts your business in immediate jeopardy.”
