Which European dropshipping supplier should you pick in 2026?

Hertwill is an Estonian platform that connects your store to European and US brands: clothing, shoes, beauty, kids, home and garden. It says 80% of its products are made in Europe or the US. It plugs into Shopify, WooCommerce and Wix, not PrestaShop. It is the most transparent option in this ranking: prices, shipping, delivery times and returns are all written on its own pages.

On the Shopify App Store, plans are billed in dollars: Standard $28.99 a month for 100 products, Plus $33.99 for 500, Growth $56.99 for unlimited products. On its own site the same plans show in euros, excluding VAT, from €24.99 (or €19.99 a month billed yearly). The free plan covers 5 products and 10 orders a month, which is enough for a real test order. Paid plans have unlimited orders and a 3-day trial. Orders placed before 11:59 pm (GMT+2) ship the next business day, then take 3 to 8 business days inside the EU, 4 to 10 to the UK, and 3 to 8 to the US.

Shipping is charged separately, per order and per brand, excluding VAT. To France, expect €6.99 to €14.99 to a pickup point depending on the brand; to Germany €6.99 to €15.99 by courier. An order with items from two brands pays shipping twice, and one merchant saw this cost double on a two-item order. Give Hertwill a valid EU VAT number and it invoices you at 0%; sellers outside the EU are invoiced at 0% too. There is no invoice in the parcel, which ships in the brand's own packaging or plain packaging. White label (your name on the box) is listed as coming soon.

For UK customers, Hertwill does not ship duties paid: above £135 per shipment, your buyer may pay VAT, duties and a carrier fee at the door. Returns are accepted for 30 days, new with tags, at the cost of the original shipping, and some brands accept no returns at all. Reviews are strong (4.7 out of 5 on its Shopify listing), with two repeated complaints: wholesale prices that leave thin margins, and popular items going out of stock. Not for you if you sell sub-$20 impulse gadgets.

CJdropshipping is not a European supplier. It is a Chinese sourcing agent that runs warehouses in Europe: Poland, Germany (Frankfurt) and the UK. It earns its spot for a practical reason. Many sellers who search for "European suppliers" really want faster delivery on a product they already sell. From a local warehouse, CJ quotes a general delivery time of 2 to 3 days. The app is free and has no subscription.

The catch is something CJ writes itself: having a warehouse in Germany and having this SKU ready to ship from Germany are two different things. Delivery time depends on each product, each variant, and the route you pick in the shipping calculator. Check the departure warehouse on the product page before you list it, and check again whenever a variant goes out of stock.

You can also send your own inventory. Private stock needs at least 10 units per variant and 100 units in total. Storage is free for 30 days in the European warehouses (90 days in China and the US), and each order pays an outbound fee: $0.34 in Germany, $0.33 in the UK and $1.01 in Poland for a 0 to 0.5 kg parcel. Moving stock from China to an EU warehouse takes 12 to 18 days by air or 45 to 65 days by sea, so plan restocks early.

For UK sellers, the GB warehouse is the closest thing to domestic fulfillment on this list. The limit is branding: your products are still made in China, with no European brand story to tell. CJ's Shopify listing shows 4.9 out of 5 from 2,927 reviews, but the company's score on a major review site was pulled after fake reviews were removed. Not for you if "made in Europe" is your selling point.

Syncee is a Hungarian marketplace. It does not sell anything itself; it connects you with suppliers mostly based in the US, Canada, the UK, Europe and Australia. For this use case, two catalog filters matter: "Supplier location" and "Shipping to". Use both together, or you will see European suppliers that do not ship to your customers.

It also covers the most store platforms of any option here: Shopify, WooCommerce, Wix, Squarespace, BigCommerce, Ecwid and smaller ones like EKM, Jumpseller and Shoprenter. No PrestaShop. The free plan lets you browse. Basic costs $39.99 a month for 100 products and one supplier, Pro $59.99 for 250 products and unlimited suppliers, Business $99.99 for 10,000. Syncee takes no commission, and monthly plans come with a 3-day trial.

The weak spot is the model itself. Every supplier sets its own prices, delivery times and returns, and Syncee sends disputes back to the supplier. Recent one- and two-star reviews mention orders paid but never shipped, shipping costs raised after payment, and a whole product line pulled overnight. One merchant found the same products cheaper on the supplier's own site, with free shipping. The tip: before importing anything, open the supplier's website and compare its retail price with the wholesale price Syncee shows you. Syncee says nothing about VAT invoices, so ask each supplier before your first order.

dropXL is the dropshipping program of vidaXL, the Dutch furniture and garden retailer. You get its catalog (300,000+ products once registered) with warehouses in Europe, the US, Australia, Japan and the UAE. dropXL handles returns, and there is an API for custom stores. For heavy, bulky items, nothing else on this list comes close.

The pricing has a twist: each selling country is a separate account at €30 a month, with its own B2B discount of up to 30%. Selling into France, Germany and the Netherlands means €90 a month. Local tax is not included. There is no free trial, but you get a refund if you cancel in the first month without placing an order. On Shopify there is no native connector: the Woosa app adds $29 a month, and orders still have to be confirmed by hand in your dropXL account. The FAQ lists PayPal as the payment method. US sellers note: dropXL also has US warehouses, which make more sense than European stock for American customers.

Merchant reviews are rough. They mention missing parts, uneven quality, price increases and disputes you have to open through PayPal. One merchant stopped selling vidaXL after its returns policy changed. End customers complain about incomplete or damaged parcels. The tip: start with one country, and read the current returns policy before you list a single sofa. Above 50,000 variants, Shopify also caps imports at 1,000 new products a day, so do not try to import the whole catalog.

BrandsGateway is the one fashion supplier in this space that publishes a full price list. It focuses on designer and luxury clothing, with apps for Shopify, Wix, WooCommerce and Shift4Shop. If your store's angle is branded fashion rather than generic products, it gives you recognizable labels without buying stock.

It is also the most expensive entry ticket here. GROW costs $209 a month, or $155 a month billed yearly, for 1,000 products. SCALE is $289 a month, ENTERPRISE $799. And the pricing page is blunt: no refunds on any subscription package. Its official pages do not say where its warehouses are, so ask before you promise EU delivery times.

Other European fashion sources exist, but none publishes a complete grid. Brandsdistribution (Italy) needs a $99-a-month Shopify app on top of its own fees. Griffati (Italy, just under 10,000 branded items) needs a €79-a-month connector. BDroppy advertises EU-wide shipping for €6.90. The tip: with no refunds, start on the monthly plan for one or two months before you commit to a year. Not for you if you are still testing niches on a small budget.

Spocket puts European and American suppliers in one app, spread across 25 countries including France, Spain, Germany and Italy. Its best feature for a polished store: branded invoices on every plan. Your customer gets a document with your name on it, not the supplier's. Orders are unlimited.

The entry price is misleading. Starter is $39.99 a month for 25 products, but our full Spocket review found that the US and EU suppliers, the whole reason to use Spocket, only open from Professional at $59.99 a month. Billed yearly, Professional works out at $24 a month for 250 products, which is the better deal if you know you will stay a year. The trial is 7 days. Spocket publishes no delivery times, so check the ship-from country on every product.

Reviews are the real limit. Its Shopify listing sits at 3.6 out of 5. One merchant estimates that half the sellers on the platform are no longer active; others report fake stock levels and charges after cancelling. Spocket fees can be billed outside your Shopify invoice, so check both after you cancel. Not for you if your tool budget is under $60 a month. Plan-by-plan detail is in our Spocket pricing breakdown.

BigBuy is the Spanish wholesaler everyone mentions, based in Valencia. It advertises more than 400,000 items and brand licenses, and a store-builder partner quotes EU delivery in 48 to 72 hours. Its WooCommerce plugin syncs stock and prices in real time, along with orders, carriers and tracking. On paper, it is the biggest European catalog you can plug into.

We could not read its official pricing page, and we will not repeat the figures circulating on blogs, which contradict each other. What is certain: you need a monthly subscription pack, a setup fee and a paid connector for your store. One seller describes paying three times before selling anything, €327 in total, and then finding only 12 products in stock out of 100+ selected. Payment runs through a prepaid wallet you top up, and merchants describe withdrawals taking from 19 days to 2 months.

On Shopify, one trap is expensive. BigBuy's official app calculates its shipping rates at checkout using third-party carrier-calculated rates. That feature is not included on Shopify's Basic plan; it is a paid add-on on Grow and included from Advanced. Several sellers paid BigBuy and then could not connect. The app is rated 1.0 out of 5, the WooCommerce plugin 2.3, and the company 2.9 across nearly 4,750 reviews. This year's complaints: 7,800 products out of stock overnight, packing slips without the seller's name, and Spanish text on product images. Not for you if you are starting on a tight budget.
