Industrial Supplies Dropshipping Application Form

Streamline Your B2B Dropshipping Partnerships with Paperform

Finding the right wholesale partners for your industrial and commercial supplies business shouldn't mean drowning in paperwork and email chains. Whether you're a distributor, contractor supply house, or B2B reseller looking to expand your product catalog through dropshipping, this Industrial Supplies Dropshipping Application Form helps you evaluate vendor partnerships efficiently and professionally.

Why Paperform for B2B vendor applications?

Managing wholesale relationships requires collecting detailed business information, verifying credentials, and establishing clear payment terms—all while maintaining a professional brand experience. Paperform's flexible form builder lets you create on-brand vendor applications that feel less like bureaucratic forms and more like the start of a real partnership.

This template captures everything you need to qualify dropshipping partners: business verification details, tax exemption certificates, credit references, desired product categories, and payment term preferences including Net-30, COD, and purchase order processing. Conditional logic shows relevant questions based on their selections, so wholesale buyers only see what matters to their specific situation.

Perfect for industrial supply distributors and B2B marketplaces

This form template is designed for businesses in the industrial and commercial supplies space—think MRO (maintenance, repair, operations) suppliers, safety equipment distributors, janitorial supply companies, construction material vendors, and B2B eCommerce platforms. If you're vetting potential resellers or wholesale customers who want to dropship your products, you need a structured intake process that collects everything upfront.

The form includes sections for:

• Business verification with EIN/Tax ID, business license, and resale certificate uploads
• Credit application with trade references and banking information
• Wholesale pricing tier selection based on anticipated volume
• Payment terms preferences including Net-30, Net-60, COD, and credit card options
• Product category interests to understand their target market
• Dropshipping requirements like order minimums, shipping expectations, and blind shipping needs

Automate vendor onboarding with Stepper

Once a vendor application is submitted, the real work begins: credit checks, document verification, account setup, and communication across your sales, accounting, and operations teams. That's where Stepper comes in.

With Stepper's AI-native workflow automation, you can turn every vendor application into a structured approval process. Route applications to your credit team for review, automatically send follow-up emails requesting missing documentation, create new accounts in your ERP or accounting system, assign sales reps to new partners, and trigger onboarding sequences—all without manual copy-pasting or status tracking spreadsheets.

For example, when a vendor selects "Net-30 terms," Stepper can automatically route their application through your credit approval workflow, pull a credit report, notify your finance team, and only move forward once approved. If they upload a tax exemption certificate, Stepper can file it in your document management system and flag it for expiration tracking. This kind of intelligent routing means faster onboarding and fewer errors.

Collect documents and contracts with Papersign

Many vendor relationships require signed agreements: reseller agreements, credit applications, confidentiality agreements, or pricing contracts. With Papersign, you can automatically generate these documents from form submissions and send them for legally binding eSignatures.

After a vendor completes your application form, Papersign can pre-fill your wholesale agreement template with their business details, pricing tier, and payment terms, then send it to the right contacts for signature. Everything stays connected to the original application, creating a clean audit trail from inquiry to signed contract. No more chasing down paper agreements or managing separate DocuSign accounts.

Built for professional B2B operations

Unlike consumer-focused form builders, Paperform is designed for the workflows that SMBs and growing B2B companies actually run. This vendor application form integrates seamlessly with CRMs like HubSpot and Pipedrive, accounting systems, Google Sheets for tracking, Slack for team notifications, and thousands of other tools via Stepper, Zapier, or webhooks.

You can embed this form on your "Become a Vendor" or "Wholesale Application" page, or host it on its own custom domain for a professional first impression. The clean, document-style layout works perfectly for the professional tone B2B buyers expect—no flashy survey design, just clear questions and a straightforward experience.

Paperform is SOC 2 Type II compliant with robust data security, so you can confidently collect sensitive business and financial information. Plus, with conditional logic, you only show relevant questions based on business type, order volume, or payment preference, keeping the form experience streamlined even as you collect comprehensive details.
