Why Dropshipping Suppliers from Shopify Aren’t Making You Any Sales and Shrinking Your Profits

To start let me point out that Shopify is a good platform, the problem with the Shopify platform however is that there is little incentive to develop it, a lot of APP developers on the Shopify platform have run into roadblocks because of the additional expenses required to pay for the fees on that network.

Furthermore, a lot of people using Shopify aren’t exactly making bank and because Shopify structures itself to be a one-stop-shop, this can hurt flexibility for newbies who seek to be more innovative with their dropshipping needs.

This is where AliDropship differs from everything else, although on the surface AliDropship appears to be China-centric, it can be customized to even become a domestic drop shipping alternative. Meaning that not only can you alleviate your reliance on Oberlo, but you can also free yourself of Shopify shipping, which if you’ve ever made any sales on Shopify with international buyers can become problematic if you don’t purchase an additional APP from Shopify.
AliDropship runs off of WordPress and the reason why so many people use WordPress is because of its open-source and the ability for anyone to build an APP on it.

What Are the negatives of using AliDropship vs. Shopify?

What’s the catch with using AliDropship? Upfront costs, how Shopify often catches its customer is that you can pay a monthly fee, which often feels like your spending less depending on your monthly plan, but what often angers Shopify store owners is when they realize that the monthly plan limits their features, you’ll get fewer features on Shopify monthly plan than you’ll get on their annual plan, which is okay, but can be extremely annoying if you can’t make your vision for online store a reality, AliDropship n the other hand doesn’t have an ANNUAL or monthly fee, just to use AliDropship, the fees you pay with AliDropship after you purchase it are to load your website up with things to sell to save you time and hosting fees.

Now, you don’t have to pay to load your website up with things to sell, but it will save you hours to do it, which will allow you to focus on marketing. AliDropship, after you purchase the software, is YOURS, no more annual or monthly fees, you don’t even have to take the AliDropship hosting, if you can find cheaper or better hosting you can do it, with Shopify, you’re stuck with them, Shopify is an all in one solution.

Now, prior to AliDropship people would have to rely on WooCommerce exclusively and WooCommerce can be time-consuming, but AliDropship changed all of that and give customers an out of the box ready to go dropshipping store, that by the way you can even sell down the road, because anyone buying your AliDropship doesn’t have to launch their store right away, meaning that unlike Shopify if you sell your AliDropship store, it’s yours, all Shopify stores are RENTED, you can actually download AliDropship because it’s on WordPress, I believe you can download Shopify in CSV format, but upgrades can easily render your store obsolete, the same can happen with AliDropship but you won’t be straddled with an expensive hosting bill.

In closing, WordPress has no competition whereas everyday Shopify has a new competitor, all Shopify stores tend to have a common theme and customers are getting used to it, AliDropship on the other and allows for a lot more flexibility, although both are good options, AliDropship should definitely be on your radar if you’re looking to build a dropshipping store.
