# Managing suppliers
> From _love at first sale_ to _keeping the flame alive_.
When you add a store as an approved supplier, you get full access to your product library for resale on your store until that partnership is revoked.
## Adding a new partner
What happens when you add a new partner:
When requested or approved, the designer will be immediately notified. You will also be notified whenever one of your approved supplier adds a new product or update an existing product.
You will get access to all *active* and *unlisted* patterns from all approved suppliers. You can then choose which patterns to import in your
store.
You retain full control over the product listings displayed on your
store. We facilitate the import of media, description, titles, and other
fields but ultimately, you can make any modifications to the imported product
listings to better fit within your existing products.
When you add products from a designer to your store, you agree to be
*subscribed* to this product on a monthly basis. New products will get added
to the same subscription or subscription schedule (read more about [Stripe
subscription
limitations](/retailers/payment#i-am-seeing-multiple-monthly-invoices-per-designer)).
Sales will be tracked and invoiced on the anniversary of when you added the
first product onto your website.
*Example: if you start adding products on March 18, the first invoice will be sent by the designer on April 18.*
Occasionally, designers forgot to include information in their product
description that is available on their website. It is worth checking when
updating product listings on your site.
## Finding new partners
You can find patterns to resell by simply searching the [product library](https://www.replic.ca/patterns/search). Once you find a product you want to resell, on the product page, you simply need to click *Request to add* to send the designer a reseller request.
Once approved, you will be notified via email and all products from this designer will appear in your [available products](https://www.replic.ca/patterns/available) list. You can start the sync process either from the Replic app or directly in your Shopify app.
Most designers respond to requests within a few days.
## Approving a partner request
When a designer contacts you directly about becoming a reseller, you will receive an email notification. You can simply click on the link in the email to be taken directly to their store page.
Additionally, you can also head over your [partners list](https://www.replic.ca/partners), select the pending partner and approve them.
## Revoking a partner
When you revoke a supplier, the following happens:
* their products will no longer appear in the search list
* their products will no longer appear in your available product list
* if you had any of their patterns active for sale on your store, they will be immediately archived
* you will be invoiced for any unpaid sales on your next invoice
### Reverting a revoked partnership
Simply head over your [partners list](https://www.replic.ca/partners), select the revoked partner and select *Resume* on their partners page.
## Adding a partner not currently using the Replic app
In order for a partner to be added, they will need to have an active account on Replic. We encourage you to reach out to them about joining the app.
## Additional questions
### What happens if there is a dispute
If there is a dispute with a designer, you can revoke your partnership to ensure no future sales go through. If you believe fraud or foul-play, please notify Replic immediately so we can review and take action.
