Convictional shuts down its B2B trade network; the monitored feeds hold quiet
Another quiet night on the fifty-five monitored sources — no new product shutdowns and no dates moved. The one addition came from the discovery scan: Convictional, a B2B trade-enablement and dropship network, is winding down and ends all platform access on 27 August 2026, forcing retailers and suppliers who route orders and inventory through it to migrate or export first.
The fifty-five tracked sources were quiet again tonight: no new product or service shutdowns, and no sunset dates moved. Every entry with a date inside 30 days was re-checked against its primary source, and all nine are unchanged. Tonight’s one addition came from the discovery scan rather than the registry.
Convictional shuts down its B2B trade platform. Convictional — a B2B trade-enablement and dropship network that sits between retailers and their suppliers, automating dropship and wholesale orders, catalogue feeds, and live inventory syncing — is winding down. In an official announcement, founder Roger Kirkness says the decision is about product-market fit, not runway. The last day of platform access is 27 August 2026. This one is narrow but sharp: it only matters if you route trade through Convictional, but for those retailers and suppliers it is a hard shutdown with no lighter tier to fall back to. Suppliers connected through it via API, EDI, CSV, or SFTP, with pre-built connectors for Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, and WooCommerce; all of that stops on the date. The company has opened data export and points to a Migration FAQ — the first task is to download everything before the 27th, then move the connections to another dropship/B2B network or to direct EDI/API integrations. Full detail, including migration options, is on the entry.
