Next to third-party fulfillment, dropshipping is all the rage in the ecommerce world. Shopify already has a streamlined dropshipping setup with its Oberlo app, so we wanted to set out to find something just as outstanding to dropship with WordPress.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dropshipping is wonderful for startups that want to cut costs early. It also helps established brands add to their catalogs with little work at all.<\/p>\n

Dropshipping involves listing products in an ecommerce store without physically storing those products yourself. Your business partners with suppliers that accept orders from your website, package the products, then send them to customers.<\/p>\n

In short, your company doesn’t have to worry about storage, packaging, or shipping. The problem is that it takes a significant amount of work to contact suppliers and keep in contact with them for every sale.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

How to dropship with WordPress using WooCommerce, Ezusy, and AliExpress \ud83d\udce6<\/h2>\n

This is by far the easiest method to dropship with WordPress since it lets you browse AliExpress products and immediately pull them into your product catalog with full product descriptions, pricing information, and images.<\/p>\n

What’s more is that when an order goes through, it sends a message to the supplier, who then ships out the product on your behalf. The plugin automates most communications and all product syncing, opening up time for you to market and refine the design of your website.<\/p>\n

The process is as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Install WooCommerce<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Install Ezusy<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Connect Ezusy to Your WooCommerce Store<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Browse AliExpress to locate products and push them to WooCommerce<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    <\/div>\n

    Step 1: Install WooCommerce<\/h3>\n

    Most dropshipping operations use the WooCommerce plugin, which sets up a full online store on WordPress for selling regular products and dropshipped ones.<\/p>\n

    Go to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to Plugins > Add New<\/strong>. Type in “WooCommerce”, then Install and Activate the plugin.<\/p>\n

    (Here’s a more hands-on guide on how to set up WooCommerce<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

    \"install<\/p>\n

    If your entire store will have dropshipped products, you won’t have to worry about adding new items right now. However, it’s wise to experiment with the WooCommerce interface so you understand how the online store plugin works.<\/p>\n

    Two tabs control most of WooCommerce, with one of them called WooCommerce (with options for orders, coupons, reports, settings, status, and extensions), while the other one is called Products (which is where you view and add items like products, categories, tags, and attributes).<\/p>\n

    Step 2: Install Ezusy<\/h3>\n

    Ezusy was inspired by the Oberlo app from Shopify, which automates the entire process of dropshipping. It’s done by linking to AliExpress and letting you pull products and product information, regardless of which suppliers provide the products. AliExpress is an online marketplace with mostly Chinese suppliers. It’s like Alibaba, but you still get close to wholesale pricing without buying in bulk, making it perfect for dropshipping.<\/p>\n

    To begin, go to the Ezusy website<\/a>. Click on the Create An Account button to get started.<\/p>\n

    \"create<\/p>\n

    Select the Free plan, which lets you import up to 150 products and fulfill 50 orders per month. Other affordable plans, starting at $9.90 per month, are available to scale up your store.<\/p>\n

    \"the<\/p>\n

    The next page asks you to create an account. Fill in information like a username, password, and email address. After that, click the Submit And Confirm button.<\/p>\n

    \"make<\/p>\n

    The confirmation page is simple enough, and Ezusy also sends you a confirmation email. Select the Use Ezusy Now button to proceed.<\/p>\n

    \"use
    \n

    <\/div>\n

    Step 3: Connect Ezusy to Your WooCommerce Store<\/h3>\n

    Once you have an Ezusy account, you must connect to your WooCommerce store. You should see a message in Ezusy that the account is not yet linked to a store.<\/p>\n

    \"not<\/p>\n

    There are a few settings you must configure in order for Ezusy to work in tandem with WooCommerce. First, you need to configure the right permalink settings:<\/p>\n
