Hi Product Hunt I'm Yaw, cofounder of Hingeto & MXED. Our team has been working hard and are excited to share this with the Product Hunt community!
We wanted to give Shopify stores access to sell top quality product from US suppliers who ship in less than 3 business days.
We're excited to launch MXED where Shopify stores can sell official pop culture merchandise. It's an easy solution to sell products without inventory risk from your favorite movies, video games, and tv shows. Anything from Starwars, Harry Potter, Marvel, & Call of Duty.
We worked really hard to make this possible for US based stores before holiday 2017. Thanks for checking us out. We'd love to get your feedback and I'm happy to answer any questions!
@therealkofi Thanks Kofi! We're excited over time we'll be able to create custom products for stores on influencers looking to sell products online
@yawza fab work.... Hope u guys into international n cross border commerce soon
Have been following @yawza and his team for a while as they have been working on this product and have been super impressed with the team. This is going to be huge, especially for the Facebook media buying entreprenuership community who rapidly test campaigns against generic dropshipped products. I have no doubt that volume will quickly be massive.
@nyjetlife We prefer stores use their own site traffic sources to drive sales to their Shopify store but we can't stop you from selling on Amazon or other channels.
Been playing around with this all day and I love it! Have my store fully loaded and ready to sell! Have a few questions - would love a team member to reach out!
@stefamini Glad you like the app. If you go to mxedapp.com you can chat with the team members directly via live chat. We will be able to ask any specific questions you may have.
@stefamini I see your note. We’re on pst so are typically available from 8am-8pm. I’ll make sure you get your questions answered today. Thanks.
This is a really slick integration with Shopify that hides a huge amount of work behind the scenes! Congratulations to this team on another launch of a great idea combined with great execution.
@kwindla Thanks! Yea a lot behind the scenes in terms of manufacturing and logistics. We remove many of those hurdles where stores can focus on driving traffic and we will handle the rest.
I am looking forward to learning more about this product and using it in our latest project.
Initially, I thought it would be a way for artists to create product designs that would be somehow licensed through your platform to be able to use Marvel IP, for example. I think if that's the long-term plan, it would be amazing for many designers and artists.
Right now there's lots of designs on sites like RedBubble, but they are not officially licensed.
I think the bigger problem is in getting the license to create the products. I can already buy, with pretty small minimum orders, from licensed manufacturers to sell on my store. However, I have found it to be pretty difficult to find these suppliers and manufacturers without being an industry insider and attending the tradeshows. If this can be a dropshipping solution that allows us to sell the products of several suppliers offering licensed products in different categories, this can be extremely valuable.
Which brands/manufacturers are on the platform currently? Is the plan to work with just a few brands/suppliers, or to open it up to as many as possible?
Congrats!
@ginoferrand Hey Gino - Create a Shopify store and install our app. You will find pretty large breadth of products from backpacks, tshirts, wallets, etc. The products come from multiple licensed partners where we handle all the complexities of minimums, shipping, and manufacturing, etc
Nice! Any plans to let users submit designs with those licenses for approval?
@frank_denbow Hey Frank we hope to be able to get to this point. It would most likely start with a subset of licenses. Easier to do with stores that can drive some volume in sales. What we have discussed thus far is allowing stores to submit their selection of licenses they are most interested in and we would deliver products based on those submissions.
Fantastic idea. Love that you all are working to help entrepreneurs, particularly sellers, to be successful.
My mom has a Shopify store, and she's been going in circles trying to find the right products. This will be HUGE for her.
Pros:Giving Shopify owners access to licensed products which are usually impossible to access
Cons:None that I can see so far
In collaboration with Bioworld, one of the biggest licensing companies in the world, Hingeto has launched MXED a dropship app that let's any of Shopify's 500,000 stores install it and start selling products from 100's of today's biggest movies (Star Wars, Justice League), popular cartoons, tv shows, video games and legendary athletes like Muhammad Ali. MXED enables thousands of stores to benefit from Hingeto's dropship technology. The MXED app is already letting established retailers create new licensed focused divisions for the Holidays and will give influencers & digital marketers the ability to start multi-million dollar online shops with no real infrastructure.
@tomfrazier We work in partnership with Bioworld who is one of the leaders in licensed apparel and accessories. No sub-licensing. Direct from the source
This product is killer and used by many of my clients now.
Pros:Product is killer and getting licenses products is something every dropshipper looks for
Cons:I cannot findany cons for now but if I find then will mention
@choobie3 Hey Thomas - Yes currently due to licensing restrictions its limited to US based stores. We will look to expand availability over time.
@yawza @mohdhazwan We definitely will. We are working hard to make that a reality/happen as soon as possible. Where are you based out of curiosity?
It would be a brilliant idea - except, MXED e-commerce platform doesn't even exist on Shopify! Is there another way of accessing?
@imdaeshawn Test it out. Add some products and let us know what you think.
Great for anyone looking to get new designs from some of the most recognizable characters and brands in the world.
Pros:Licensed products, no set-up cost, great support, easy to use
Cons:none it's amazing!
Check their most recent reviews about this app through the Shopify apps store. Bad reviews about Christmas orders fulfillment. The last GOOD review was back in November...then only bad reviews during the month of December...all about Christmas orders not being fulfilled and support be non-existent. Thanks, but no thank Mxed.
Pros:Licensed merch to sell
Cons:Mxed doesn't fill orders as fast as they advertise, if at all. Customer service is almost non-existent, no way to cancel unfulfilled orders
It's too bad this product has so many unaddressed problems. The concept is great.
Pros:Great product selection - if only they were in stock.
Cons:The app is very buggy to the point of not functioning. Most products are out of stock and not synced with Shopify. Lack of support.
