Becoming a dropshipper

Alright guys, here is what I am looking for an I hope someone here can help me.

We have a licensing deal with an artist and have been selling products for the past year with his designs on our website, dropshipping it from our partner factory in China. Now, we would like to offer these products to other Shopify stores to sell, ie. becoming dropshippers ourselves where they get the orders, and we do the fulfillment.

Is there a way to automate this process, where we can link our products to the retailers' sites and the orders they get and payments to us are processed directly, rather than us having to do it all manually. Trying to not do it manually where we send them a .csv of all our products, and they email us their orders daily, we send them an invoice, they pay us and we do the fulfillment. That is just too time consuming and not really feasible.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

list your products on aliexpress, then Shopify stores can import your products via oberlo

Or build a saleschannel via Sopify's API : https://help.Shopify.com/api/sdks/sales-channel-sdk

@cbrughmans option is faster and easier, the API gives you control, but also adds cost and maintenance to all of this.

As far as I know Aliexpress only accepts Mainland china businesses to list their products. However, I will check on it and post my results here. Thanks for that.

Is that how the print-on-demand shopify apps are built?
