BigCommerce Dropshipping Suppliers for Clothing Stores

Four suppliers connect to a BigCommerce store and dropship clothing: BrandsGateway for designer brands, and Printful, Printify, and Gelato for print-on-demand. Each one connects to your store directly, so products and orders move without a spreadsheet.

This is our list, and we are the designer-fashion supplier on it. Below is what each supplier sells, how it connects to BigCommerce, and what it costs to start. Facts about the other three were checked on their own BigCommerce pages in October 2026.

BigCommerce dropshipping suppliers at a glance

Every supplier on the list also needs your own BigCommerce plan. BigCommerce’s pricing page lists Core at $39/month, or $29/month billed annually; Growth at $105 ($79), and Scale at $399 ($299) (checked October 2026). Orders paid through a provider that is not on BigCommerce’s embedded list carry an extra fee: 2.0% of eligible order value on Core, 1.0% on Growth, and 0.6% on Scale.

BrandsGateway: designer clothing, shoes, bags, and accessories

We supply over 48,000 products from over 800 brands, such as Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, and Calvin Klein. All products are 100% authentic and come with original tags, bought from the brands, their licensees, or official distributors.

Your customers search for these brands by name, so the demand is there before you open the store. Your work is reaching those customers at a price that leaves you a margin.

Connecting your BigCommerce store

1. Choose BigCommerce as your platform on the pricing page and pick a plan.
2. Install the BrandsGateway app on your BigCommerce store.
3. Choose the products to import. We keep product information, prices, and stock in sync, and new arrivals that match your import filters are added to your store automatically.

The steps are also on the BrandsGateway for BigCommerce page.

When an order comes in

Your customer pays you in your BigCommerce store, and the order appears in your BrandsGateway account automatically. You confirm and pay for it there. We ship it directly to your customer, white-label, with your company name on the shipping label. The tracking number appears in your BrandsGateway account; copy it into the order in your store so your customer can follow the parcel.

We dispatch orders within 24–48 hours. Economy shipping takes 3–5 business days within Europe and 5–8 outside Europe; Express shipping takes 1–3 business days within Europe and 3–4 outside. We deliver worldwide using UPS, FedEx, DHL, or your own shipping label. Dropshipping orders have a 14-day return policy, counted from the day your customer receives the parcel, and the shipping and returns page gives the shipping cost for every country.

Retail prices and your margin

The BrandsGateway app sets your retail prices at a 150% markup on the wholesale price by default. You can change the markup per category, and include a fixed shipping cost in the price.

Illustrative example: an item with a €100 wholesale price gets a €250 retail price. The €150 difference is a 60% margin. If shipping that item costs you €15, adding it as a fixed shipping cost makes the price €265 and leaves the same €150 before payment fees. Markup and margin are different numbers, and here is how to calculate your dropshipping margin.

Print-on-demand: Printful, Printify, and Gelato

Print-on-demand suppliers print your own designs on blank clothing after each order. They suit a store that sells its own designs, which is a different store from one selling brands people already know. Dropshipping vs print on demand compares the two models on margin, delivery, and returns.

Printful

You connect your store in Printful under Dashboard > Stores, then design from 572 customizable products, including t-shirts, hoodies, dresses, and swimwear. Each order is sent to production automatically and fulfilled from one of 12 fulfillment locations, the one closest to your customer. Printful’s BigCommerce page lists t-shirts and tank tops from $7.50 (checked October 2026).

Printify

Printify is free to sign up. You design the products, connect your BigCommerce store, and its network of print providers prints and ships each order. Printify’s BigCommerce page gives 140 facilities and delivery to 209 countries and territories (checked October 2026).

Gelato

Gelato is free to use, with no minimum orders. It routes each order to a print provider near your customer, from more than 250 production partners in 32 countries, according to Gelato’s BigCommerce page (checked October 2026).

Supplier marketplaces: one app, many suppliers

You will also find apps that list products from many independent suppliers in one catalog. One install gives you a wide range. Each product still comes from its own supplier, though, with its own dispatch time and return terms. Before you import from one, check:

• who the supplier of each product is, and how long it takes to dispatch;
• whether a branded product is sold with the brand’s authorization, and what the supplier can show for it;
• the return terms of each supplier, not only the app’s own.

With us, you work with one supplier and one set of terms for dispatch and returns, across every brand in the catalog.

App or CSV file: how a supplier connects to BigCommerce

• An app imports products into your store, keeps stock and prices in sync, and passes each order to the supplier.
• A CSV file is a product list you import and update yourself. You place each order with the supplier by hand.

An app is what lets a small store run without someone watching stock all day. Stores on a custom platform can work with our products through the REST API or a CSV file, on the REST API/CSV plan. Amazon and eBay orders can be forwarded automatically through a marketplace plugin on your Shopify, WooCommerce, or Wix store.

How to check a supplier before you connect it

• Order a sample to your own address. You see the packaging, the label, and the delivery time your customer will get.
• Read the return terms for dropshipped orders. Note the window, who pays to send an item back, and what cannot be returned.
• Ask how often stock syncs and who places the order. An item that sold out but still shows as available becomes a refund and an unhappy customer.
• Read recent reviews on an independent site such as Trustpilot, and look at how the supplier answers complaints.

The supplier is one app among several on your store. These are the BigCommerce apps for a dropshipping store that cover reviews, email, and search.
