Doing it yourself
Using Shiplox

Guess whether MOQ, sample price, and shipping terms are realistic.

Product requests Shiplox can understand
You do not need a perfect spec sheet. A good reference and clear target quantity are enough to start the search.
Private label product
You want the same product with your logo, packaging, color, or material requirements.
Photo-only search
You have an image from social media, a marketplace, or a competitor and need similar factory options.
Supplier comparison
You already found suppliers and want a clearer read on price, quality, MOQ, and next step.
Sourcing-only questions, answered
The sourcing request flow is designed for people who need product clarity first and platform automation later.
Do I need a Shopify store before requesting sourcing help?
No. You can request product sourcing before Shopify is connected. Store sync is useful later if you want automatic fulfillment.
Can I submit only a product image?
Yes. The Shiplox sourcing request flow accepts product links, images, product names, or written notes. More detail usually helps the team quote faster.
Is there a minimum order quantity?
Yes. Shiplox is built for product sourcing and fulfillment, so requests require at least 50 units per product. This keeps the workflow focused on serious product testing and stock planning.
What happens after I get a quote?
You can approve a sample, ask for another option, or move into stock planning. If you later want fulfillment, Shiplox can store, check, pack, ship, and keep tracking visible.
