Spark Shipping is the eCommerce automation platform purpose-built for dropship, hybrid, and multi-supplier sellers. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Boston, Spark Shipping helps merchants automate the messiest parts of running a multi-vendor business: product catalogs, real-time inventory, intelligent order routing, and supplier tracking — across every format suppliers can throw at you.
For Fishbowl customers, Spark Shipping extends Fishbowl from a powerful inventory and manufacturing system into a fully automated dropship operation. Spark Shipping ingests supplier feeds in any format — Email, EDI, FTP, CSV, XML, or API — normalizes the data, and syncs it into Fishbowl so your stock levels, costs, and product data always reflect what your suppliers can actually fulfill. When orders come in, Spark Shipping routes them to the right supplier and pushes tracking information back into Fishbowl and your storefronts.
Spark Shipping processes more than $1.2 billion in GMV per year, tracks over 290 million SKUs, and ships with 150+ prebuilt vendor integrations — plus a team that will build a custom integration for any supplier we don’t already support. The platform powers eCommerce brands, distributors, and B2B sellers across automotive, firearms, consumer goods, industrial supply, and dozens of other verticals.
Together, Spark Shipping and Fishbowl let you sell far more SKUs than you physically stock, without losing inventory accuracy, fulfillment speed, or the single-source-of-truth that Fishbowl provides for the rest of your operation.

Battle-tested at scale. Over $1.2B in GMV processed per year and 290M+ SKUs tracked. Spark Shipping is built by dropshippers, for dropshippers, and pairs cleanly with Fishbowl as the inventory backbone.
