Files on this page can be used to populate drop ship websites. We recommend that you update the inventory on your site as often as possible, both to make sure you have all the items we carry, and to avoid placing orders with us for items that are out of stock or discontinued.
You will find files here in the following formats:
We recommend that most new drop shippers start off with just "STC" items.
| Filename | Format | Description |
| stc-02.csv |
CSV version 2 |
New CSV format with updated category information (preferred) |
| stc-01.csv |
CSV version 1 |
Legacy CSV format used prior to 2009 (still supported) |
| stc.xml |
XML |
For those whose software supports it |
We are in the process of signing up new vendors to provide our customers with a wide variety of products. Some of them will offer specialty products that are hard to find.
There are a number of things to consider when ordering from different vendors, however. Times for processing orders can vary, and vendors may have little or no experience shipping overseas. You will also incur additional shipping charges because each vendor ships items from their own warehouse. Again, this is particularly important for international customers to keep in mind. Outside vendors (vendors other than “MC” or “STC”) also do not offer customizable packing slips at this time.
Wholesale customers will be able to order outside vendor products just like our regular in-house items. They can be easily identified by their product numbers, which will always begin with “CNV”. The shopping cart will automatically calculate shipping for the outside vendor items.
Drop ship customers can add these outside vendor items to their site as well, but must keep shipping considerations in mind: if your customers place orders with items from multiple vendors, you will be assessed shipping fees from each vendor – you must calculate shipping properly to make sure you don't lose money.
The following vendors are full-line distributors and carry a wide range of products:
Smaller and niche vendors can be found on our Vendor Information Page.
If you would like to carry items from all our vendors (after reading the information above), please use one of these feeds:
Customers wanting to download zipfiles with product images for certain vendors will want to visit our Vendor Information Page.
The right-most column has the links for image zipfiles. Most customers will want the MC.zip file.
Please keep in mind these files can be quite large – approaching a gigabyte in size for some vendors.
You will not find a link for EF on that page. Because of the number of products carried by EF, you must download them yourself if you really want them. This can be accomplished using the script here: getimages.pl.gz. Using this file requires shell access to a Linux (or similar) server, and some scripting expertise. If you have no idea what this means, ask your hosting provider to help you.
Lastly, customer using Yahoo Stores can download this file. It contains all images in a single directory. Be warned some of the images contain nudity, and Yahoo may shut down stores that include items with nudity in the images. It is your responsibility to comply with Yahoo's policies, which of course we have no control over.
Users of Zen Cart can visit our Easy Populate Setup page for instructions on using Easy Populate to load our items into their sites.
We've had users report success using Easy Populate with OS Commerce as well.
If you are still confused after reading the instructions in our FAQ, please feel free to Contact Us.
