Zendrop: AI Dropshipping & POD

This app zendrop cost me a lot of time granted I am new to this and maybe they saw me coming... I installed the free version unbeknownst to me it took over so many permissions all of my inventory I couldn't access I couldn't send emails I couldn't look at analytics nothing would work and I had no idea it was this app thanks to the Shopify AI I got it figured out.

Zendrop’s Shopify app description is not truthful — especially the claim that you can: “Build your brand by adding your custom branding to your orders.” That line is completely misleading. I subscribed to the $79/month Plus plan specifically for this feature. But once I paid, I was told that actual custom branding (like custom packaging or logo printing) is not included unless you apply to a separate “Private Agent Program” — which requires 10+ orders/day or $15,000/month in sales to even qualify. This is nowhere mentioned in their app listing or pricing page. What you actually get with the Plus plan is just a thank-you card, not proper branding. This is a textbook bait-and-switch tactic. The feature that convinced me to subscribe was locked behind undisclosed restrictions. I did receive a refund after escalating the issue, but this kind of marketing should not be allowed on the Shopify App Store. If you’re a new merchant trying to build a brand: be careful — this app does not deliver what it advertises.

Worst one to deal with, they changed the pricing amid of getting orders. Good luck, fulfilling your orders as they will bill you on monthly basis just to fullfill them, which they never did in the past.

If the product is already expansive and the shipping makes it even more expansive, How much should I charge my customers? Like if a product that is worth $10, I buy it for $17 or $18 with shipping, How much should I sell it for to get profit? $ 40???

I've had a consistently disappointing experience with Zendrop to date. The customer service is poor, and the fulfilment standards are well below expectations. Multiple customer orders have needed to be refunded due to inconsistencies in product quality and colour. What’s not made clear upfront is that a single order may be fulfilled by multiple suppliers, leading to mismatched items arriving with the customer. In cases where only part of the order is incorrect, Zendrop will only refund the item that is wrong—even though the entire order has to be refunded to the customer, as it no longer meets their expectations. This leaves the seller to absorb the full cost of refunds, lost ad spend, and a damaged customer relationship. The support team is extremely limited—I’ve spoken to the same few agents repeatedly—and unfortunately, they’ve offered little resolution or accountability. They do not have a complaints process so you are stuck in a loop of tickets and chats. Even worse, some customers received items made from materials that didn’t match the product listing, suggesting there’s no quality assurance process in place. (was supposed to be memory foam as listed, item arrived with cotton filling and I was told thats ok as it was "memory cotton" wtf) Overall, the platform lacks transparency, reliability, and proper support. I would strongly recommend working directly with vetted AliExpress suppliers instead to avoid the added fees, poor communication, and lack of quality control that has come to define my experience with Zendrop. AVOID

Scammers! DO NOT USE! I installed the app with the promise of 7 days FREE Trial, but as soon as i linked my first product they charged me and refused to refund! I only found out when i saw the bill from Shopify that says: Zendrop - Dropshipping & POD (Uninstalled) $29.00 Then i contacted them, but they REFUSE to refund on the ground that "5 days period for refund request expired". How can i not miss the 5 days period if i never expected to be charged in the first place!!! I'm going to report that scam crocks to Shopify

Zendrop charged me twice for the Plus plan and then downgraded my account to Zero. I received no features I paid for. Support ignored me until it was “too late” to refund. I was promised benefits and got nothing. Terrible support, broken billing system.

it integrates with the shopify really easy. I can't complain about that. however, I installed this app into my store and added products. then i went to purchase something from my store to make sure everything worked and to see how long it would take to get the products. well, the purchase went through smoothly... but, I never recieved the products and I haven't been able to contact anyone to fix the issues. the supplier is a scam. they sent a tracking number for my order.... it has been 3 weeks since the order and the tracking number is continually updating with a non-existent route. (there is no shipment)... this happens a lot when you order products off facebook. it is just a scam.

Extremely Disappointed with Zendrop's Decline in Service I’ve been using Zendrop for a while and used to be satisfied with their customer service—but this recent experience has been beyond frustrating. My client received a damaged item, so I contacted Zendrop on April 10th requesting a replacement and included clear photos of the damage. Brenda Sorongclo responded and asked for the photos again on the 11th, which I resent. Then… silence. On April 14th, Brenda messaged me asking if I needed anything else—as if I hadn’t already requested a replacement. I replied that I was waiting for her to confirm the replacement. Finally, six days after the original request, I get a message saying they can only replace part of the product. And if I wanted the full item replaced, I’d need to ask my client for a video. What? A video, six days later? It’s my brand on the line, not Zendrop’s. This delay and confusion made me look completely unprofessional to my customer. I ended up refunding my client out of my own pocket just to resolve it. And then—only after I told Zendrop not to bother with a replacement—they suddenly offered me a refund. Why couldn’t that have been done in the first place? Unfortunately, I’ll be moving away from Zendrop. They used to offer reliable service, but this experience has shown a huge drop in quality and accountability. I can't risk my business reputation on inconsistent support

It is the WORST Dropshipping experience with products and logistic. Very limited products to choose and logistic takes forever to ship and arrive. It is not an automatic system, meaning that you have to be checking everyday availability of the product because they have not an automatic system to mark a product as sold out when they have no more available. The option to add products that they don't have is really bad, because they are not going to have it never, that means that when you sell the product, they are not sure to find the same exact product to be ship to the customer. You have to be sure to check every day your app because when you sell a product you have to press fulfill, something else that is not automatic. Don't waste your money with this app. The only positive thing that they have is that when you are "lucky" to reach an agent, they answer fast and work proactively to try to solve your problem as they can, because procedures and logistic are not part of their roles, they are just there as customer service representatives and their work is trying to help you. The system to reach a representative is not easy because they have an IA with answers that never have the answer that you need.

5 day refund policy + unreasonable customer service meant I was charged and refused a refund for downloading the app for about 20 minutes while I was showing someone... Free plan available? Not so sure.

The processing time is longer than before and the missing item still not yet resent to client. If they don't improve their service, we will consider other supplier.

HORRENDOUS CUSTOMER SERVICE. SCAM. F - - - - - - -

billing for services after a free trial then refusing a refund. i never gave them cc details. very scammy business model taking advantage of free trials without disclosing the ongoing billing

Easy to navigate and that’s about it. Sadly i am a plus member. Extremely hard to get customer service, when trying to get a resolution about orders that were shipped from December 2nd i have received no straight answers. I have refunded customers and placed them a free order through hypersku just so they get their stuff. Here it is Christmas night and i just received another email from a customer requesting a refund from a December 2nd order that tracking says in transit thank you for waiting. Yall need to drop js express. Letting zendrop fill some of my Black Friday orders was the worst decision I have ever made. I will never use zendrop again, sadly im out the $500 bucks i just spent on a plus membership….never again, if anyone is reading this and actually cares about their business, please choose another fulfillment company

I had the opportunity to try Zendrop, but as soon as I installed it, I was charged a fee directly before I even started using it. So I immediately deleted it and sent it back to CJ dropshipping. I think you should not use it at all. It is an application that has a small number of products and requires money for everything. Good thing we have CJ.

This company is absolutely trash. I would give it zero stars if I could. They will set you up and charge you. Not send you any invoice or anything and by the time you see it, it will be too late for you to do anything about it.

If you want to lose money, go ahead and work with this company. They claim a max processing time of 5 days, but that’s a joke. After waiting 5 days for a product I was selling, I reached out to customer support and found out the product was still in production. This meant I had to cancel orders and take a loss. On top of that, they won’t refund your ad costs even though the delays are their fault. And guess what? This didn’t just happen once it happened twice. The second time, I checked in with customer support after 3 days to make sure everything was on track. They told me it was all good, but two days later, I found out the supplier was still in production. To make things worse, their product prices are about double what you’d find on other platforms. And to top it all off, you’re paying $79 just to cancel your orders. Ridiculous. UPDATE 11/25 Third time this has happened. After 5 days, they only managed to fulfill about 5 out of 20 orders, and now, after all this time, they follow up to say the products are out of stock again! I wrote to Austin, and it’s been 4 days with no reply! Amazing management. Avoid at all costs.

I cannot figure out how to use it, I figure out the process
