Setup, Configuration & Automation for Shopify Dropshipping

🚀 Why DSers is a Must-Have for Shopify Dropshippers

DSers is the official AliExpress dropshipping partner and arguably the most advanced app for:

  • Automating product imports
  • Managing multiple suppliers
  • Syncing orders and tracking
  • Setting pricing rules at scale

If you’re using AliExpress as a primary source, DSers is the tool you want — fully integrated with Shopify, beginner-friendly, and scalable.

🧩 Step 1: Install DSers and Connect Your Shopify Store

  1. Visit the Shopify App Store
  2. Search for DSers – AliExpress Dropshipping
  3. Click Add App and follow the prompts
  4. Create your DSers account (free plan available)
  5. Authorize the integration with your Shopify store

💡 Make sure to use the same email for both Shopify and DSers for seamless syncing.

🔌 Step 2: Link DSers to AliExpress

  1. Log into your AliExpress account
  2. In DSers, go to Account > Authorize AliExpress
  3. Follow the authorization prompt to sync accounts

✅ Once linked, DSers can automatically place and fulfill orders using your AliExpress account.

📦 Step 3: Find and Import Products from AliExpress

  1. In DSers dashboard, go to “Find Products”
  2. Browse by keyword or category
  3. Click “Add to Import List” for products you like

You can also use the DSers Chrome Extension:

  • Install from Chrome Web Store
  • Browse directly on AliExpress.com
  • Click “Add to DSers” when you find a good product

🛠 Step 4: Edit Products Before Importing to Shopify

Before pushing to your store, go to Import List and edit:

  • ✅ Title (make it readable and brand-friendly)
  • ✅ Description (rewrite with benefits, not just specs)
  • ✅ Variants (keep only popular sizes/colors)
  • ✅ Images (remove supplier logos, upload custom visuals)

💡 Use tools like Canva or Pixlr for quick image editing.

Once ready, click “Push to Store” and the product appears in your Shopify dashboard.

💰 Step 5: Set Up Smart Pricing Rules

Instead of manually pricing each item, let DSers do it automatically.

  1. Go to Settings > Pricing Rules
  2. Choose a multiplier or markup strategy

Example Rule:

  • Product Cost: $0–$10 → Markup 2.5×
  • Product Cost: $10–$30 → Markup 2.2×
  • Product Cost: $30+ → Add fixed $10 profit

DSers will automatically calculate:

  • Compare at price
  • Sale price
  • Retail price

✅ Keeps your margins consistent, even at scale

🚚 Step 6: Configure Shipping & Supplier Preferences

Choose Shipping Method:

Go to Supplier Optimizer

  • Prioritize AliExpress Standard Shipping or ePacket for US/EU
  • Set fallback shipping options

Preferred Supplier Mapping:

  • If a product has multiple suppliers, choose your preferred one
  • Avoids conflicts or shipping delays

💡 DSers automatically switches to backup suppliers if stock runs out.

📤 Step 7: Automate Order Fulfillment

Once a customer buys from your store:

  1. Order appears in DSers > Orders
  2. Click “Place Order” (manual or bulk)
  3. DSers auto-fills buyer info in AliExpress
  4. After supplier ships, tracking info auto-updates in Shopify

For Full Automation:

  • Upgrade to DSers Advanced plan
  • Enable Auto Order Placement
  • Enable Auto Sync Tracking Numbers

📊 Step 8: Monitor and Optimize Performance

Track:

  • Fulfillment status
  • Processing times
  • Tracking reliability
  • Supplier behavior

🧠 Replace underperforming suppliers early and prioritize those with local warehouses (US/EU).
