Connect Your Dropshipping Supplier in Shopify
🚀 Your Store is Ready — Now Let’s Add Products
With your Shopify store fully set up, it’s time to add the most important element: products.
In this blog, you’ll learn how to:
- Choose the best supplier platform for your market
- Connect your Shopify store with DSers, Spocket, or CJdropshipping
- Import products to your store
- Optimize product listings for conversions
- Manage inventory, pricing, and shipping details
🧭 Step 1: Choose the Right Dropshipping Supplier Platform
Here are the top 3 platforms for Shopify users targeting EU & US markets:
| Platform | Best For | Strengths |
|---|---|---|
| DSers | AliExpress products (Global) | Large catalog, low prices, strong automation |
| Spocket | EU & US-based suppliers | Faster shipping, better quality control |
| CJdropshipping | Customized & faster shipping | Global warehouses, white-label options |
💡 You can test multiple apps in parallel, but start with one to simplify setup.
🔌 Step 2: Install the Supplier App from Shopify App Store
For DSers:
- Go to Shopify App Store → Search “DSers” → Install
- Sign up with your email and connect your Shopify store
- Link your AliExpress account
For Spocket:
- Search and install Spocket from the App Store
- Set your shipping region preference (EU, US)
- Browse curated products by category or country
For CJdropshipping:
- Install CJdropshipping from the App Store
- Create an account
- Connect your Shopify store through API integration
🔍 Step 3: Find Products to Sell
What to Look For:
- 4+ star ratings (on AliExpress or app reviews)
- High order count (proves demand)
- Delivery time to EU/US (under 10–15 days if possible)
- Good images and detailed descriptions
💡 Pro Tip: Use filters like “Fast Shipping,” “US/EU Warehouse,” or “Best Sellers”
🛒 Step 4: Import Products to Your Shopify Store
In DSers or Spocket:
- Click “Add to Import List”
- Customize:
- Title: Make it brandable (e.g., “Eco Bamboo Cutlery Set”)
- Description: Use persuasive language, include benefits
- Images: Remove duplicates, keep high-quality ones
- Pricing: Set your markup (recommended: 2.5–3× product cost)
- Click “Push to Store”
The product will now appear under Shopify > Products
✍️ Step 5: Optimize Product Listings
Key Elements to Customize:
| Element | Tips |
|---|---|
| Product Title | Clear, benefit-driven (not just manufacturer’s title) |
| Description | Use short bullet points, include benefits and use-cases |
| Pricing | Use .99 endings, test different price points |
| Images | Remove watermarks, compress for speed using TinyPNG |
💡 Use Canva or Pixlr to edit product photos if needed.
📦 Step 6: Configure Inventory & Shipping Settings
- Ensure inventory tracking is enabled
- Uncheck “Continue selling when out of stock”
- Add processing time to match supplier estimates
- Set shipping profiles (or sync rates from Spocket/DSers)
💡 For multi-region shipping, set up zones (US, EU) and offer free shipping to boost conversions.
⚙️ Step 7: Set Up Auto-Order Fulfillment (Optional but Recommended)
With DSers and CJdropshipping, you can automate order processing:
- Go to the app settings
- Enable “Auto-sync orders”
- Set payment preferences (AliExpress, CJ Wallet, etc.)
📌 This will save you hours per week as orders start coming in.
📋 Step 8: Test Everything
Before launching your store:
✅ Place a test order (on a low-cost product)
✅ Verify shipping time and customer experience
✅ Check product pages on both mobile and desktop
✅ Review product descriptions and pricing again
🧠 Pro Tips
- 🔄 Keep your product selection under 20 items when starting — focus on winners
- 🛑 Avoid fragile, oversized, or heavily regulated products
- ✨ Add product badges (“Best Seller,” “Limited Stock”) to boost urgency
- 🔍 Use Shopify analytics to monitor product views and conversions
