About Active Ants

Active Ants is an e-fulfilment company that stores and ships online orders from automated fulfilment centres, with AutoStore storage and robots.

With Dropday, Active Ants becomes one of the routes your WooCommerce orders can take, next to your own stock and your other suppliers.

From WooCommerce order to the Active Ants warehouse

Your WooCommerce orders reach Dropday through the Dropday plugin, normally within seconds to a minute.

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 WooCommerce 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 WooCommerce

When Active Ants ships, Dropday brings the shipment into WooCommerce, and you see per order what has left the warehouse.

The Dropday plugin adds it to the order as a fulfillment, with the products in that shipment and the tracking code and link.

Getting started on WooCommerce

You install the Dropday plugin, 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 WooCommerce order goes to Active Ants.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an Active Ants customer?

Yes. Active Ants stores and ships your stock under your own account, and Dropday connects your webshop to it.

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.

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.
