Platform Model Transition
Introduction
Introduction
This shift changes your status from a "Seller" to a "Supplier". While you will continue to ship orders directly to customers via dropshipment, Conrad will now purchase goods from you and sell them to end customers. The new platform model streamlines financial workflows and adjusts how you manage your presence on the platform.
Operational Benefits
Operational Benefits
Direct Invoicing: You invoice Conrad directly for all sales. Conrad bills the end customer.
Margin-Based Pricing: You provide a net purchase price to which Conrad adds its own margin. No more sales commissions.
Customer Support: Conrad handles first-level customer care, allowing you to focus on stock management and logistics.
Shipping Fees: Conrad pays a flat shipping fee of €3.00 for orders with a net value under €85.00. Orders exceeding this value qualify for free shipping.

The old model will be deprecated per country once the new model is live. Business and catalogue onboardings are scheduled to begin 8 weeks before the go live.
