What products can I sell with Dropwow?

Product Catalog

Dropwow has a very small product catalog when compared to other drop shipping companies. There are just over 56,000 individual items to choose from. By contrast, some of the drop shipping companies we’ve reviewed have products numbering in the millions.

To search for products, you can input a keyword in the search bar or browse by category. Categories range from clothing, electronics, toys, furniture, and plenty of others. You can also visit the trending section to find Dropwow’s most in-demand products.

Dropwow products

Adding a product to your Shopify store can be done with Dropwow’s import tool, which automatically syncs product information with a push of a button.

If you can’t find the products you want, you can request Dropwow to add them. Send them the AliExpress product IDs and Dropwow will negotiate with the vendor. If successful, you can expect the item to appear within 48 hours.

Supplier Information

All Dropwow suppliers are based in China. Each vendor is carefully evaluated before being added to the Dropwow catalog. Dropwow will only add suppliers with favorable ratings on AliExpress and other similar marketplaces. If a supplier has more than a 10% dispute rate, Dropwow will block them and remove their products.

How do I sell products with Dropwow?

Order Placement and Fulfillment

You can fulfill orders with one click! Just go to the orders section in your Shopify account and click the fulfillment button. Orders will automatically be placed on Dropwow and they will fulfill your order for you.

But before you can fund orders, you need to have money loaded in your Dropwow wallet. All Dropwow transactions are made with this wallet, which can be loaded with any amount you want.

Delivery and Tracking

Dropwow ships internationally. Once an order is shipped, tracking codes are sent directly to your Shopify and Dropwow accounts for easy reference.

Returns and Refunds

Dropwow promises a 100% refund for items that meet certain requirements. There’s no restocking fee that is typical to most of its competitors. It’s one of the most generous policies we’ve seen, so far.

You can file a dispute within 7 days of your customer receiving the item, or 30 days from the shipping date if the item is undelivered.

Most disputes will be handled by Dropwow on your behalf. If both sides are unable to reach an agreement, Dropwow will let you contact suppliers directly to continue negotiations.

How do I contact Dropwow?

Customer Support

There are many ways for you to contact Dropwow – more than any of its competitors. You can use their live chat tool, where customer representatives are typically online from 7AM to 12AM EDT.

You can also reach Dropwow by email, telephone, or adding them on any of the chat apps they support – Facebook Messenger, WeChat, QQ, WhatsApp, and Skype.

Self-Help Sections

Dropwow provides a ton of informative material that can help both beginners and experienced drop shippers. You can visit their FAQ section or Help Center to learn how to use Dropwow. The video tutorials provide clear, step-by-step guides that anyone can easily follow.

You can also check out the official Dropwow drop shipping blog for articles that include tips, product news, niche ideas, market research, and much more.

Conclusion

A small product catalog may put some users off, but Dropwow’s handy selling tools and helpful resources – all provided for free – make the service difficult to ignore. It shows great potential and you can expect it to only get better.

Keep in mind that Dropwow works best with Shopify, but you can use the service even if you use different platforms. You can still source products from their catalog and take advantage of the wealth of information available on the Dropwow blog and weekly digest.

The bottom line: If you want to drop ship with Shopify, Dropwow is an excellent choice that’s definitely worth a look.
