Let's Fibre Technologies review for Dropified ‑ Dropshipping

Aug. 31, 2022

First and foremost, I'm still a fun of Oberlo (Oberlo is no longer available) because of its simplicity, free advanced pricing rules on all plans, multiples supported currencies when importing products. Its probably not a great thing to say because you can't compare a Street car with a sports car, so to speak. Having said that, Dropified is by far more superior and more diverse compared to other Dropshipping Apps out there. It can be a challenge to navigate when you are just starting. But once you get a hold of the navigation, then it's a One-stop, All-in-one powerful Dropshipping App; from product search and imports, advanced pricing Rules, image editors, and bulk editing of products. The positives are countless. I, however, have a few issues that I wish the Dropified Team could look into: 1. The Free plan can only import products and has very basic Markup rules. 2. The paid plan starts from $47. I know the plan has everything, but new Merchants may not afford such monthly payments. I think Dropified should consider having cheaper options starting from around $9, $13, $17, before jumping to $47, as a starting subscription. I used to be on a $17 Plan, but Dropified removed this Option. 3. When you connect to AliExpress, Dropified has limited supported currencies, and this causes a nightmare when setting up Pricing Rules. My Store Cureency is South African Rand (ZAR), and it's not one of the supported currencies. This means that I have to import products in USD or Euros. This causes a huge, if not an impossible task when calculating markups, because you have to first convert USD to ZAR, at the current exchange rate, before you add your Markup. For example, if a product on AliExpress costs $5 USD, and you simply set you markup to X 2 for imported products on Dropified, the product will be displayed as ZAR 10 (5×2 = 10) on your Store. This is incorrect. The correct price in Rand (ZAR) should be $5 x 16 (Exchange rate USD to ZAR x 2 (Markup) = ZAR 160. This is the correct pricing for 100% profit in ZAR But this can be fixed by simply adding ZAR as a supported currency when importing products from AliExpress. Then you simply need to import products in your own Store Currency and then add your Markup to X 2 or X 3 for your profits. 4. The other problem is that the simplified option to suppress supplier contact details, when importing products, doesn't work. You literally have to edit and remove all suppier contact information, company photos, etc., on all your imported products. This is time consuming and unnecessary. Again, Oberlo never had this problem. Simplified option when importing products should simply import product specifications and not the whole supplier details on the imported products. Please fix this issue urgently. Let me end here for now. But these are genuine concerns that have made me start searching for other Dropshipping Apps.
