What is Dropship Connector and how does it work?
Dropship Connector fulfils all orders automatically and allows the user to add more products from AliExpress at ease. It can seamlessly change suppliers and track orders to know where they are at all times, eliminating the need for users to ship or handle the products themselves. One can also directly add any AliExpress products to their stores with their Chrome extension: Product Importer. There will be a sticky button on every AliExpress product and collection page. Once a potential item is spotted, the user just needs to press the button and the item gets imported. Through the tool, user accounts at AliExpress can be instantly upgraded to Whitelisted ones. This enables them to fulfil hundreds of dropshipping orders on AliExpress with a single click. Product inventory and prices will also be auto-synced daily according to the user suppliers' adjustments. Therefore, the user does not need to worry about their products that are out of stock or above retail price.

As an automated app, Dropship Connector brings you a pool of powerful features that help automate your workload when running your dropshipping store.
Dropship Connector’s Pros
ShopBase China – Premium product source and dropshipping services
1. Huge product source with better prices
Apart from AliExpress, you can sell products from ShopBase China when using Dropship Connector. The products are reportedly high-quality and have cheaper prices than those from AliExpress since ShopBase China have a product team who works directly with the manufacturers, tests and only cherry-picks what are best.
Not only the prices are lower than the average prices, but sometimes you even get the sweetest deal by negotiating the price with them.
2. Fast delivery time
The shipping time they offer is shortened to only 8-10 days, instead of 15-45 days like AliExpress. However, according to some dropshippers, it may take up to 20 business days when in the peak seasons.
3. Offer free shipping to the US
This is one of the most intriguing benefits since the major parts of dropshipping’s customer base are those coming from the US.
Besides, the shipping fee to other region is quite low compared to standard delivery services like EMS, DHL, etc.
4. Premium packagings
All products shipped to customers are packed in nice and sturdy boxes, let alone a pretty Thank-you card included inside each package. That’s how you can elevate your brand value with your buyers.
5. Customized packaging service:
Customize your packagings and labels with your logo printed. This is an added value that you can leverage to build a consistent sense of your brand.
Unique Automation Features
1. Tracking number auto-updates to PayPal:
Automatically updates all your tracking numbers onto PayPal accounts for you. You hardly find this premium feature on other dropshipping apps out there. Personally, our interviewers find this feature is much valuable since they can build trust and reduce the dispute rate without lifting a finger.
2. Order tracking via CSV file:
This feature is a perfect alternative for medium to big sellers who have their own source of suppliers but still want their tracking numbers auto-updated to the store’s platform for them, namely Shopify, WooCommerce, Shopbase, etc.
Dropship Connector allows you to import all your order’s tracking numbers to the app via a CSV file. How timesaving!
3. Auto-sync all products and orders from other apps:
This app supports their users effectively when they switching from other dropshipping apps to migrate to Dropship Connector. All the data of product and order on your store will be synced immediately to Dropship Connector after they install the app.
You definitely don’t want to lose everything from your store and start adding products from the beginning or transfer orders one by one, do you?
Dropship Connector Pricing
This app is totally FREE for you to make the most all of its features.
We know that running a business, even a so-called low-cost dropshipping business costs a big amount of money. So what can help you save money, you’ll be thankful later.
Customer services
Dropship Connector has built very responsive and supportive customer support. Even though it may take a few days for their team to resolve the errors if they emerge, this is still a diligent support team.
Dropship Connector’s Cons
Small technical issues
It’s a new app so sometimes a few small tech-related issues persist. The upside is the technical team of this app will quickly solve them all.
App experience
Simplicity is good, but seems like this app’s interface is too simple. There was just a neat dashboard with very few texts on the screen, no instruction or guide popping up to help its users know how to use the app easily.
Platforms
So far Dropship Connector is only available on Shopify and ShopBase (the international platform to build and scale dropshipping & POD stores). It will be much better if they also provide their service to those have stores based in WordPress, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, etc platform.
