Brilliant idea to connect two sides of the market: 1. Shopify sellers that can't or don't want to go through the burden of obtaining licenses from popular brands such as Nintendo, Marvel, and WB. 2. Brands that want to increase their distribution and merchandise sales.

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.

@yawza what are you doing for the brand side? Are you sub licensing?

Fantastic idea. Love that you all are working to help entrepreneurs, particularly sellers, to be successful.

Congrats on launching and welcome to the Shopify ecosystem! 🙌🏽

This is awesome! Question - can I use my shopify to Amazon integration to sell these products or am I restricted to my own Shopify site?

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!

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.

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.

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!

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

Hey everyone - Ismail here (CTO & cofounder). I'm also happy to field any questions you may have!

Oh, that's such a great idea! Good luck, guys!

Nice! Any plans to let users submit designs with those licenses for approval?

This is crazy I’m going to get my audience to test this

This is amazing! I'm actually going to try this out.

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

If you get in trouble for copyright, tell them its a BioWorld Corp and the brand will allow you to continue selling!

Pros:

Great product selection

Cons:

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!
