The recent announcement that Onport is sunsetting operations has left many retailers and suppliers in a difficult position. For years, Onport provided a way to manage marketplace and dropship operations, and its shutdown means businesses relying on it now face uncertainty around integrations, order routing, and catalog management.

But this moment also creates an opportunity. If you’ve been running on Onport, you don’t just need a replacement—you need a platform that’s built for today’s e-commerce challenges and future growth. That’s where Crowdship comes in.

Why Onport Users Are Looking for Alternatives

Onport’s closure highlights a common risk with legacy providers: when platforms can’t scale or sustain operations, retailers and suppliers are forced to scramble for a new solution. With order flows, inventory sync, and supplier relationships at stake, choosing the right alternative is critical.
