Modalyst is a dropshipping platform that connects online stores to suppliers, so merchants can sell products without buying or storing inventory. Retailers browse a catalog, import listings into their store, and the supplier ships each order directly to the customer. The site says Modalyst has joined Wix.com, and it also supports Shopify and BigCommerce stores.
The catalog draws on US suppliers, vendors in the UK, Europe, Canada and Australia, and AliExpress through an official partnership. The company reports 10 million products added to storefronts and 600,000 ecommerce stores served. Suppliers range from private label manufacturers to handmade indie brands, and the site describes them as vetted.
Modalyst describes a five-step process. A merchant starts for free, connects a Shopify store, Wix store or other platform, and curates products by importing their information into a Modalyst account. The merchant then customizes the listings to match the store's style, publishes them, and sells at full retail prices with control over inventory.
When a shopper buys, the order and shipping details reach Modalyst immediately. Retailers with a linked store pay for the item in the orders section, while those using CSV files pay the brand directly after items sell. The supplier then fulfills and ships the order, and Modalyst sends tracking notifications to the retailer and customer.
Product automation covers one-click imports of product info, images and variants, editing before publishing, bulk adding, variant mapping, and real-time product and inventory updates. Suppliers must keep their inventory counts current, and Modalyst automatically counts stock down as items sell. Order tracking includes courier names and tracking numbers sent to both retailers and customers.
Pricing automation lets merchants set automated markups, include shipping in the product price to offer free shipping, and review margins in a profits calculator. For sourcing, a Chrome extension adds AliExpress products in a single click. A Private Label Dropshipping program adds custom branding and hangtags, and pre-negotiated contracts include a standardized commission split and 14-day return policy.

Modalyst has a free Hobby plan at $0 per month. Start Up costs $35 per month, or $30 per month billed yearly, and Pro costs $90 per month, or $67 per month billed yearly. The site says annual billing saves up to 25% on Start-up and Pro plans.

Modalyst integrates with Shopify, Wix and BigCommerce, and connects to Alibaba and AliExpress for sourcing. It also provides CSV files for importing products to other ecommerce platforms.
Orders are communicated to Modalyst immediately when a customer buys, including shipping information. Retailers with a linked store pay for the item in the orders section. Retailers using a CSV file pay the brand directly after items sell.
Modalyst describes a 14-day return policy that retailers can offer. Items must be undamaged, unworn and have tags attached. Brands also provide a return or refund policy for damaged or defective items if claims are made within 14 days of receipt.
No. Modalyst does not hold inventory. Suppliers maintain their own stock and are required to update their inventory counts, and Modalyst counts stock down automatically as items are purchased.
Modalyst suits online store owners who want to sell products without holding inventory, from new merchants on the free plan to growing stores that need larger catalogs. It works with Shopify, Wix and BigCommerce stores.
