PREMIUM BRANDED VIRTUAL MEETING ROOMS
You sell it, they ship it.
Connect Teemill for print on demand, or CJ Dropshipping and AliExpress for dropshipping, and paid store orders go to the supplier on their own.
E-STAGE connects three suppliers from Genesis → Project settings → Suppliers: Teemill for print on demand, and CJ Dropshipping and AliExpress for dropshipping. When a store order is paid, the order for that supplier’s products is placed with it automatically.
You connect your supplier account with the keys it gives you, then import or link the products. Suppliers you email orders to, and which supplier fulfils each variant, are set in the CRM → Store → Suppliers.
How suppliers work
Print on demand with Teemill
Create your products in the Teemill dashboard, import them into your store, and each paid order is printed and shipped for you.
Dropship with CJ
CJ Dropshipping ships each paid order from its warehouses. Shipping defaults to CJPacket Ordinary, and you can choose where it ships from.
Dropship from AliExpress
Orders are placed with AliExpress sellers through the AliExpress open platform, with Cainiao Standard as the default logistics service.
Orders placed automatically
When a store order is paid, the order for that supplier’s products goes to the supplier on its own. No copying orders by hand.
Suppliers you email
Working with a supplier that is not on the list? In the CRM → Store → Suppliers you add suppliers you email orders to, and choose which supplier fulfils each variant.
Or ship it yourself
Products you pack yourself still ship with your connected carriers: 12 in Settings → Shipping Carriers, now including J&T Express, Naqel Express and PostNord.

What it looks like in E-STAGE
Real E-STAGE screens from our own project, captured on October 9, 2026, with nothing connected.
- 01
The new Suppliers tab
Genesis → Project settings → Suppliers lists Teemill for print on demand, and CJ Dropshipping and AliExpress for dropshipping. Each one has its own Connect button, and the page points you to the CRM for suppliers you email and for choosing a supplier per variant.
02Carriers for what you pack
The Shipping Carriers tab next to it now has 12 carriers. J&T Express and Naqel Express give live rates, labels and tracking in Saudi Arabia, and PostNord gives labels and tracking in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland while your prices stay yours.
Before you decide
- The supplier charges you, not your buyer: a paid order placed with Teemill is charged to the payment method on your Teemill account. Set your store price with that cost and the shipping in mind.
- The CJ Dropshipping and AliExpress connections say they were tested against the suppliers’ documented responses, not live keys. E-STAGE itself recommends placing one small order first.
- Product quality, stock, delivery times and returns come from each supplier. Check them before you sell, and tell buyers honestly how long delivery takes.
- For international orders, Teemill can send customs details with the order: an EORI number, a VAT number and a pre-registration such as IOSS. All are optional.
Frequently asked questions
Can I dropship with E-STAGE?
Yes. Since October 2026, Genesis → Project settings → Suppliers connects CJ Dropshipping and AliExpress for dropshipping, and Teemill for print on demand. Paid store orders for their products are placed with the supplier automatically.
What is the difference between dropshipping and print on demand?
With dropshipping, the supplier already stocks the product and ships it to your buyer (CJ Dropshipping from its warehouses, or AliExpress sellers). With print on demand, your design is printed only when someone orders, then shipped (Teemill).
Do I need an account with each supplier?
Yes. You connect your Teemill, CJ Dropshipping or AliExpress account with the keys it gives you. Each supplier sets its own prices, terms and shipping.
Do I need a separate app or plugin?
No. The suppliers connect directly from your project settings, with no third-party app in between.
My supplier is not on the list. Can I still use it?
Yes. In the CRM → Store → Suppliers you can add suppliers you email orders to, and choose which supplier fulfils each variant.
