GlamBug Dropshipping Goes Official — Sell Silver Jewellery Without Holding Stock

For three years, many of our partners have sold GlamBug jewellery without ever holding stock. They shared a design with their customer, sent us the order on WhatsApp, and we packed and shipped it. It worked, so we made it official online.

Updated October 2026 with all four ways to order, including our Shopify app and the Partner API's webhooks.

This guide explains how dropshipping with GlamBug works from start to finish: who does what, the four ways to place orders, how money and delivery work, and how to begin.

What dropshipping means here

In dropshipping, you sell the product but never hold it. With GlamBug:

• You keep your customer and your price. Your customer buys from your store, your page or your chat. You are the seller, and your customer buys from you.
• We keep the stock. You do not buy inventory in advance.
• We pack and ship. When your customer orders, you order from us, and we dispatch the parcel with tracking, so your customer deals only with your brand.
• You keep the margin. You pay us our price for the piece and keep the difference between that and what your customer paid.

Who it is for

Dropshipping suits online sellers, social sellers, marketplace sellers and platforms that want to offer silver jewellery without the cost of buying and storing it. It also suits a retailer who wants to offer more designs than the showcase can hold. If you want your own label on the pieces as well, read about White Label and Private Branding.

Four ways to place orders

You choose the route that fits how you work, and you can combine them.

Route	Best for	How it works
WhatsApp	Starting small, and sellers who sell through chat	Share a design, send us the order on WhatsApp, and we pack and ship. This is how dropshipping with GlamBug began.
B2B Catalogue App	Browsing the whole catalogue and sending orders from your phone	Browse with weights and your rates, build a shortlist and send it to the team.
Shopify app (Warehouse Connect)	Shopify stores that sell in Indian rupees	Choose categories and your markup; products appear in your store with live stock. Paid orders reach us automatically and tracking goes back to your store.
Partner API	Platforms and sellers with their own software	Read the catalogue and place orders from your own systems. Webhooks can push order, shipment and invoice updates to you.

None of them requires the others. A seller can begin on WhatsApp, move to the app as the range grows and connect an API or a Shopify store later.

How an order flows

1. Your customer orders from you at the price you set.
2. You place the order with us, by WhatsApp, in the app, through the API or through the Shopify app.
3. We review it. Orders submitted through the API arrive as pending, and our team accepts them before they move into packing.
4. We pack and ship. The parcel goes out with tracking. Orders are dispatched within 0 to 1 business days of confirmation, and an order confirmed before 3:00 PM from Monday to Saturday goes out the same day.
5. Your customer receives it. Estimated delivery is 2 to 5 business days across India. We currently ship only within India.
6. You follow it. Tracking details are shared when the order ships. Shopify stores get tracking back automatically, and API partners can read it from the API or receive it by webhook.

Plan your delivery promises around the 2 to 5 business days, so your customers' expectations match what actually happens.

The prepaid wallet

Partners fund orders through a prepaid wallet. You top up, and orders are drawn from it, with a clear ledger of every entry.

• Through the API, an order is refused up front, and nothing is created, if your wallet balance does not cover it. The check counts your other pending orders too.
• Through the Shopify app, an order is paid from your wallet at your GlamBug price. If the wallet is short, the order is held and the app tells you. Top up and it goes through.

Keep enough in your wallet for the orders you expect, and you will never have to think about it.

What it costs

• The pieces. You pay our price for each piece, which is based on its weight and your account's rate. Silver jewellery is priced by weight, so you can work out your margin before you list a design.
• Delivery. On the Shopify app, delivery is a flat ₹100 per package. On other routes, ask us for the delivery charge before you set your prices.
• Shopify plans. The Shopify app is free. The White label plan costs $50 a month, billed by Shopify, with a 7-day free trial.

Branding the parcel

By default, parcels go out under the GlamBug name. If your account is set up as white label, parcels show your own business name and phone number instead, and the Shopify White label plan also puts your logo on product pictures and lets you use your own branded packaging.

Returns and claims

Goods sold are final. The one exception is a piece that arrives damaged or defective: raise a claim within 48 hours of delivery, with your order number, photos of the product and packaging, and a description of the issue. We respond within 2 business days. The full terms are on our Returns and Refunds page.

Tell your customers about this before they buy, and put it in your own store's policy.
