Dropship Order Routing Software

Route dropship orders to the right supplier.

A customer buys three items from three suppliers. LineNow splits the order, sends each supplier their own purchase order, and tracks the replies and fulfillment status — so you know what shipped before the customer emails asking where their order is.

LineNow does not try to become your POS, inbox, ERP, or accounting file. It turns those records into supplier work, then sends clean updates back.

The part your systems do not own

One order record carries the decision, supplier conversation, receiving variance, and downstream handoff.

  1. 01Turn signals into a buy listLineNow reads usage, stock, supplier rules, pack sizes, and open orders before recommending what to buy.
  2. 02Create supplier-ready POsThe buyer reviews one working order, then sends supplier-specific purchase orders without rebuilding them elsewhere.
  3. 03Attach every supplier replyConfirmations, shortages, substitutions, price changes, and ETAs update the order instead of sitting in an inbox.
  4. 04Push clean records backReceiving, final costs, invoice context, and fulfillment state are handed downstream after the order has changed.

After checkout, before support tickets

Why let supplier execution hide after checkout?

Turn customer demand into supplier purchase orders, track confirmations and exceptions, and keep fulfillment state visible before customers ask where the order is.

Common questions

Everything you need to know about automating your dropship operations with LineNow
When one customer order contains items from multiple suppliers, LineNow can split the order into separate supplier POs, track each supplier workflow independently, and preserve one customer-order view across confirmations, tracking numbers, partial shipments, and follow-up work.
LineNow is best when a dropshipping operation needs more than a Shopify-only PO sender: customer-order-to-supplier PO routing, multi-supplier order splitting, supplier confirmations, tracking numbers, partial shipments, supplier replies, inventory context, and accounting handoff in one workflow. Pure dropship apps can generate supplier POs, but LineNow is strongest for hybrid ecommerce teams that also stock inventory, sell through multiple channels, and need the supplier-side purchase record to stay connected to the customer order.
When a customer places an order on your Shopify store, LineNow maps each SKU to the correct supplier, creates a purchase order, and sends it according to the workflow you configure. You can review orders before they go out or let trusted flows use configured auto-send rules.
LineNow connects with Square, Shopify, Toast, Clover, Lightspeed, Amazon, and Faire. Shopify and supported retail POS channels are the primary integrations for dropship workflows. Amazon support is focused on marketplace listings, inventory, and recipe sales attribution, not dropship order routing.
If a customer order contains products from different suppliers, LineNow can split it into separate purchase orders, one per supplier. Each PO is tracked independently, and you get a unified view of the full customer order across all suppliers.
Yes. Supplier confirmations, tracking numbers, and shipment updates are parsed from email threads by AI into structured updates. You can see the current LineNow status of each supplier PO from one dashboard and keep customer delivery estimates grounded in the latest supplier response.
Yes. LineNow connects customer orders, supplier purchase orders, and supplier status updates so the team can see what has been routed, what the supplier confirmed, what shipped, and what still needs follow-up.
Yes. If a customer order contains items sourced from different suppliers, LineNow can split the order into supplier-specific purchase orders and track each supplier workflow separately.
LineNow handles dropship, retail, wholesale, and manufacturing from the same platform. You can add a retail location with POS sync, manage wholesale orders, or track assembly and BOM without switching tools or migrating data.
The AI assistant answers questions about order status, product margins, and supplier performance in plain English. Ask "Where is Lisa's order?" and get a current status table. Ask "Which suppliers ship fastest?" and get a reliability comparison. It analyzes your LineNow data with no dashboards to build.
The core plan has a 90-day free trial for the dropship ordering workflow, supplier connections, and supported Shopify sync. Optional add-ons are billed separately. No credit card required.
After the 90-day free trial, the public pricing page lists the core plan at $100/month per business unit. Dropship units are the exception: every dropship supplier you run is covered by a single $100/month line, however many you add. That includes the core dropship, supplier, inventory, AI assistant, and purchasing workflows described on the pricing page.
