Automated Dropshipping
DropshipExpress allows the user to fully automate the process of dropshipping from online retailers. This includes searching the stores, importing products, editing, setting prices, updating, and even shipping. The user needs to set up a series of rules regarding how to manage their store. The plugin will then perform the actions automatically, so the user can focus more on marketing rather than being stuck in the loop of clicking buttons. That being said, the user of course can choose to manually perform all of the above.
The plugin offers detailed options for each retailer store that it supports, alongside some general settings such as permissions and proxy servers. Here's a quick screenshot of the main options page:
To automate tasks such as importing, the user will set up some rules on how to search the retailer stores, and import the products. Here's a quick peek of the said feature:
Each imported product will then be available for editing, if needed. This allows the user to put a final touch on what will be published on their website.
DropshipExpress also support automated order fulfilment. This means, when a product is purchased from a supported retailer, the plugin will try to automatically purchase the products from the retailer and send it to the customer:
The first and most important rule for me is to always keep the product optimised, and secure, even if it takes much more effort and requires additional learnings. For this, I provide user the options to keep their performance even highers. Here's a screenshot of the plugin's miscellaneous settings that offers features such as avoiding duplicate images:
