From Shopify order to the Active Ants warehouse
Your Shopify orders reach Dropday through the Dropday app from the Shopify App Store, as soon as Shopify creates them.
Dropday sends the products you store at Active Ants to Active Ants with your customer's delivery address, ready for the fulfilment centre to pick. When the same order also holds products you ship yourself or that another supplier drop ships, Dropday splits the order with your rules, and Active Ants receives only its own lines. Nobody on your team retypes an order or works out who ships which product.
Stock you don't have to maintain
The Shopify stock of the products you store at Active Ants follows what Active Ants reports, so your store shows what the warehouse can ship without stock files or manual corrections. Products you ship yourself or buy from other suppliers keep their own stock. Dropday sets this up for you.
Shipments in view in Shopify
When Active Ants ships, Dropday adds the shipment with its tracking number to the Shopify order as a fulfilment of the Active Ants items. You see in Shopify which orders Active Ants has shipped, and Shopify can send your customer its own shipping confirmation.
Getting started on Shopify
You install the Dropday app from the Shopify App Store, keep your account with Active Ants, share the API access that Active Ants arranges for you, and tell Dropday which products Active Ants stores for you. Dropday sets up the orders, stock and tracking, and tests them with you before your first real Shopify order goes to Active Ants.

Frequently asked questions
Can I combine Active Ants with my own stock and drop shipping suppliers?
Yes. Your rules decide per product where an order line goes: to Active Ants, to your own stockroom or to a supplier that drop ships. One customer order can be split across all of them.
Can I stay in control of what goes to Active Ants?
Yes. You decide with your rules which products go to Active Ants, and those orders can wait for your review instead of going out automatically when you want to look first.
What happens when my order volume grows?
More orders mean more work for the warehouse, not for your team: Dropday keeps passing your Active Ants orders on and bringing stock and tracking back, without extra order entry.
Do I need a developer?
No. Dropday handles the setup.
