Are you searching for the best WooCommerce dropshipping plugins?
In this post, we’ve collected five great options to help you create a dropshipping store with WooCommerce. Some of these plugins help you connect to the dropshipping utopia that is AliExpress, while others help you work with independent suppliers or other product sources.
Let’s dig in…
Best WooCommerce dropshipping plugins in 2023 📦🔌
1. DropshipMe
DropshipMe is a freemium WooCommerce dropshipping plugin that offers thousands of best selling products from AliExpress. The fact they have handpicked the products in almost every category makes it ideal for creating a scalable dropshipping store.
Top features ⚙️
- 50,000+ handpicked products from AliExpress
- Recommended pricing markup
- Quick products search
- Easy to use
- Professionally edited product titles
- One-click import for all products

Is it easy to use? 🤔
DropshipMe has a beginner based interface. Once you install the plugin, you will see a product list with an import button on each one. One-click import makes it easy to set up your dropship store.
Price 💰
You can use DropshipMe free of charge for up to 50 products. There is a fee after that. Four plans are available for a one-time charge:
- 50 product imports – $0
- 110 product imports – $29
- 700 product imports – $119
- 1500 product imports – $199
⚠️ DropshipMe only helps you import curated products from AliExpress. It doesn’t sync your store with AliExpress in real-time. If you want to do that, you can pair it with the AliDropship plugin from the same developer that makes an appearance at #4 on our list.

My experience with this WooCommerce plugin was okay. The user dashboard could have been better. But if you have used an online tool before, you will get around it quickly.
Price 💰
WooDropship offers a 7-day free trial. After that, there is lifetime plan – $89 one-time for unlimited variants and orders.
Obviously, the lifetime plan makes the most sense if you’re going to be in business for more than a couple of months.

To make money and fulfill products, you have two options:
- You can sign up for Amazon Associates and earn the standard affiliate commission by sending people to Amazon to make their purchases.

Thank you for this comparison. Regarding DropshipMe, my opinion is mixed: the interface is user-friendly and the product selection appealing, yet the limited customization options restrict creativity in managing my store.
