THE 11 BEST DROPSHIPPING TOOLS

Blog / The 11 Best Dropshipping Tools

Dropshipping is a popular way to build your e-commerce empire. The challenge is,
there are tons of people out there trying to do the same thing. So, how do you
get a competitive edge? By using dropshipping tools to get the most out of your
dropshipping business.

This post covers the basics of dropshipping and the 11 best dropshipping tools
to maximize this fulfillment method’s benefits while minimizing the drawbacks.


WHAT IS DROPSHIPPING?  

Dropshipping is a fulfillment method that allows e-commerce stores to sell
products without storing or maintaining stock.

Using the dropshipping model, your store markets a third-party’s (a wholesaler
or manufacturer) products. When someone places an order from your site, you buy
the product from a third-party, who then sends the product directly to your
customer.

You don’t have to worry about logistics, and the difference between the price
you sell at and the price you buy at is your profit.

This model is popular (in fact, 23% of online sales are fulfilled through
dropshipping) because it allows e-commerce businesses to focus on what they do
best, marketing and selling products without worrying about logistic issues.


WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF DROPSHIPPING?

One of the major benefits of dropshipping is starting an e-commerce store with
low start-up costs. You can create the framework for a great online store with
relatively little investment.

The issue is, you’ve still got to invest in and warehouse stock — unless you use
dropshipping.

Dropshipping limits startup costs while allowing e-commerce stores to offer a
wide range of items to customers.

By working with a third party, you can quickly set up your online store and tap
into a wide selection of high-quality products from suppliers around the world.

The benefits of this are:

 * Low overhead costs: No need to pay for stock, warehousing, or employees to
   fulfill orders
 * A wider selection of products: Choose from an endless list of suppliers.
 * Expanded shipping capabilities: You’re working with businesses with years of
   experience shipping items around the world.
 * Easy to scale: You don’t have to worry about stock. No matter how many orders
   you have coming in, you’re always able to fulfill them.
 * Focus on your strengths: Concentrate on where your competitive advantage is –
   making sales.
 * Location independence: Your stock doesn’t tie you down because you don’t own
   any.

These benefits sound pretty great, right?

As you might expect, there are also some drawbacks to dropshipping. The most
apparent negative to dropshipping is lower profit margins. Companies that buy in
bulk can save money, but buying one item at a time can be more costly.

Although you’re in control of your pricing (you can lower and raise prices as
you like), you’ll have to keep your prices in line with your competition. And,
because there are few barriers to starting an e-commerce business with a
dropshipping model, there’s lots of competition out there.

Here are some challenges to consider with dropshipping:

 * Customization and branding: You’re selling someone else’s products, so it can
   be harder to develop a strong brand.
 * You’re reliant on a third-party: If they mess up, then in your customer’s
   eyes, you’ve messed up.
 * Understanding costs: If you’re working with lots of different suppliers, it
   can be complicated to work out your profit margins when shipping is factored
   in.

Whether dropshipping is an effective strategy will depend on your business
needs. If you’re ready to take on the stiff competition and aren’t reliant on
branding to sell your products, then dropshipping could be a viable option.


WHAT DROPSHIPPING TOOLS SHOULD I USE?

As you can see, there are plenty of benefits to using dropshipping as your
fulfillment method, but there are some drawbacks as well.

These dropshipping tools can help you run a successful dropshipping business.


SHOPIFY

Shopify is the biggest e-commerce platform out there, and it’s one of the
quickest and easiest ways to get your store up and running.

Shopify isn’t so much a dropshipping tool as the starting point for creating
your store, so it’s important to feel comfortable with it. To ensure Shopify is
right for your business, you can test out a 14-day free trial.

Once you’ve decided to build your store on Shopify, you have the following
pricing options:

 * Basic Shopify – $29/mo
 * Shopify – $79/mo
 * Advanced Shopify – $299/mo

You will still have to pay for your website hosting (here are some
recommendations) which can be factored into Shopify’s price.

Whatever your goals, Shopify has a plan to suit your business needs and allows
you to make the most of their customer support and a wide range of helpful
plugins.


OBERLO 



Oberlo is a Shopify app that links you to a large market of suppliers, allowing
you to choose from a huge range of products and sync them to your website in
seconds.

Their free starter package allows you to sell up to 500 products a month, so
it’s an ideal way to dip your toe into dropshipping.



If you see good results, you can upgrade to the basic package for $29.90 a
month, allowing you to sell more products and benefit from enhanced order
tracking.

You can also choose the pro package for $79.90 a month, which allows you up to
30,000 sales.


WOOCOMMERCE



If you already have a website that runs on WordPress, or you want a cheaper
alternative to Shopify, then try WooCommerce. It’s a free plugin that can turn
your WordPress website into an e-commerce store.

WordPress powers around 35% of the web, so you know you’re in safe hands with
this platform, and the WooCommerce plugin allows you to give it powerful
e-commerce capabilities.


SPOCKET



Already have an e-commerce store set up? Spocket is one of the best
dropshipping tools to connect you with suppliers from around the world. 

Spocket integrates with Shopify, WooCommerce, Wix, BigCommerce, and AliScraper.
It offers a free trial which allows you to view their catalog, but to truly
benefit from this tool, you need one of the paid plans:

 * Starter: Sell up to 25 unique products  – $24/month
 * Pro: Sell up to 250 unique products – $49/mo
 * Empire: Sell up to 1,000 unique products – $99/mo



With many suppliers based in the US and Europe, Spocket is an excellent
dropshipping tool for stores that value fast, easy fulfillment.


AUTODS



AutoDS is an all-in-one dropshipping tool for e-commerce stores that plugs into
both Shopify and eBay. With AutoDS, you can automate processes like stock
monitoring, optimizing pricing, updating tracking numbers, collecting social
proof, and much more.

This dropshipping tool takes a lot of the busy work out of running your store
and gives you more time to focus on boosting your sales.



One of the great things about AutoDS is they offer a vast range of packages
designed to suit your business. They start at $6.33 a month for basic stores but
can accommodate stores with up to 100,000 products.


DROPIFIED



Dropified connects you with suppliers and automates your dropshipping processes.
With integrations for e-commerce platforms such as Shopify, BigCommerce,
WooCommerce, GrooveKart, and CommerceHQ, it aims to give you all the
dropshipping tools you need to run a successful business.

With lots of helpful automation, Dropified is ideal for sellers looking to
develop their custom brand. They offer two distinct pricing structures:

 * Import: $14/mo
 * Private Label On-Demand: $168/mo



This dropshipping tool price might seem costly, but the ability to use private
labels helps you overcome one of the most significant drawbacks of dropshipping
– difficulty establishing your brand.  


SALEHOO



SaleHoo is a directory of wholesale companies and a great dropshipping tool for
market research. Their annual plan gives you full access to the directory for
$67, or you can choose a lifetime plan for $127. Those prices make it an
affordable tool to research the market and find the best suppliers.

There’s also the option to upgrade to full automation, and you can get lifetime
access to the SaleHoo education program for $47.


ZAPIER



With so many apps helping you run your business, you might be wondering how to
coordinate them all. The answer is Zapier.

Zapier automates workflows across different apps, which reduces manual work. For
example, when you receive an order on Shopify, Zapier can instruct MailChimp to
add that customer to your monthly newsletter and create an invoice through
Invoice Ninja.



With a free lifetime plan that allows you to create 5 “zaps,” Zapier is one of
those dropshipping tools you’ve got to try. If you find it significantly
streamlines your store, then there are many plans to choose from.


ALIDROPSHIP



AliDropship connects you to suppliers. However, there’s one big difference —
with AliDropship there are no monthly fees. Instead, you make a one-time payment
of $89 for a lifetime subscription.

You can also have AliDropship create you a website for a one-time price of $299,
making it a viable alternative to Shopify. You will have to pay for your monthly
hosting, but this option is about as quick and easy as it comes in terms of
getting started with dropshipping.

For sellers looking for a fast, convenient way to get into dropshipping,
AliDropship is an ideal option.


GOOGLE ANALYTICS



While many of the dropshipping tools on this list offer important insights about
customers and traffic, some of the most important metrics can be found in your
Google Analytics dashboard. All the data you need to know about your store is in
your analytics for free.

There’s no need to pay for extra website analytics if you know how to make the
most of Google Analytics, and this is the reason why it’s one of the most
powerful dropshipping tools.

Track your visitors, understand where your traffic comes from, what content
works well, and how to boost your store’s all-round performance by making use of
the data that’s available to you.


CHILI-HUNTER 



If you’re dropshipping through eBay, then Chili-Hunter is a handy market
research tool. Use it to discover new trends, find the most profitable items to
sell, and get insight into your store’s performance and your competitors.

This dropshipping tool provides vital information to maximize your profits, and
the best part is it comes in one simple plan.

You can choose either a monthly membership for $39.99 per month or a yearly
membership for $16.66/mo.



With Chilli-Hunter, you can find the best products to dropship and boost your
business’s performance in seconds.


CONCLUSION

One of the biggest challenges with dropshipping is maintaining workable margins.
To do this, you need your e-commerce store to be as streamline as possible so
you can adapt to changing markets and build up a large volume of sales.

To scale your business, look for ways to automate areas such as marketing, order
processing, and product selection. This is where dropshipping tools come in
handy.

While you will need to pay the monthly subscription fees for the right
dropshipping tools, the return on investment can be immense.

How do you use dropshipping tools to give your store the edge?
