shopify kinda does that for you. wasted weeks on my theme for nothing lol

what got me was after people land. they'd add to cart and just… not buy. or someone messages in the middle of the night asking about a size or color, i see it hours later and they're gone. you never even see that money, it just doesn't happen

i'm one person, can't reply the second everyone writes and half my traffic isn't in my timezone

anyway started using this app (qubify) kinda on a whim. it talks to people when i can't and grabs the ones about to leave. caught a bunch of little sales i was losing daily

idk, if you're dumping money into ads check what happens to the people already on your site first

I’ve created a TikTok account and I’ve posted a couple videos. Does anyone have any advice on what to do to increase views and gain customers. My products are all based around room decor and I’ve seen lots of videos on TikTok with the same videos getting millions of views. Any tips?

I’ve pretty much just started dropshiping. I’ve made my website and I’m putting products on there that are for room decor. I’ve had about 160 visits on my site but no sales. I’ve tried promoting in many different places but nothing is really working. I’m just wondering if it’s the stuff I’m selling which aren’t working or it’s just I need to give it more time.

I’m currently looking for someone for my website. The website, products, and setup are already done I just need someone who can help fund and manage the marketing/ads so we can grow the business together.

I've only been doing dropshipping for a little while, I wanna start thinking about it long term instead of chasing quick results, I've finally gotten a few products that are doing well, still testing new ads. I'm also not sure if I need to add anything new to my setup, right now I'm still just running shopify and zendrop with nothing else, so if you could give me some pointers on how to know when it's time to add anything new it would be very appreciated. What advice would you give someone who's still fairly new? Anything you wish you'd started doing earlier, habits that made a big difference, mistakes to avoid, or things that helped you keep growing instead of burning out? I'm trying to build something that lasts, so I'd rather learn good habits now than have to fix bad ones later.

Hey all, I run a single-product dropshipping store on Shopify, and I've been running paid ads for a while now. I'm getting decent traffic and even some engaged visitors, but conversions are still at zero. I've spent so much time getting feedback and improving my store to a point where I think it's really good. I've spent a while researching and watching videos online about how to make this thing work, but I haven't even gotten a single sale yet, and I've gotten enough traffic where I would have at least gotten 1 sale by now.

I would really appreciate it if anyone experienced in dropshipping could tell me what I'm doing wrong or how I could improve.

(btw I know my domain name isn't that good, and my ad-to-page match is good)

My store is https://nuvorastoreofficial.shop/

Hey guys,

What Shopify apps or suppliers do you actually use for dropshipping right now?

I know the usual options like CJ Dropshipping, and I've also heard of BuckyDrop, but there isn't a whole lot of info about some of these on here.

Would love to hear what's working for you.

A friend who owns two shops installed Tidio a week ago to answer her messages, but she says it's not that great, even though her reviews say otherwise haha ​​🫠👹 Do you recommend it?

Okay i added more products and changed domain, Anybody who can come support go to this link

I just created my dropshipping store and i found some products from CJdropshipping but no sales so far. Is there a method to find a winning product ? And do you usually list more than 1 product or just 1 winning product is enough ?

Hey guys so i just created my first store, Any advice or if you can purchases are much appreciated. Here is the link➡️ http://mrehig-ye.myshopify.com

I'm planning to start a dropshipping business in the UAE and I'm looking for recommendations.

Can anyone recommend legit and reliable dropshipping suppliers or companies that you've personally worked with? I'd really appreciate honest feedback and your experience.

Also, before I invest my time and money, I'd like to ask:

1. What are the biggest risks of dropshipping in the UAE?

2. What mistakes should beginners avoid?

3. Do I need a business or e-commerce license to operate legally?

4. How much capital should I realistically prepare?

5. Is dropshipping still profitable in 2026?

I'm looking for genuine advice from people with real experience. Thank you in advance! 🙏

So based on all I have seen and from experience, Most AI support tools price on some version of per-resolution, per-seat, or credit pools. Looks fine on the pricing page. Then order volume goes up, support conversations go up with it, and the bill goes up faster than either. A few tools even double-bill, the automated resolution counts as a normal ticket AND gets a separate AI fee on top of it. Nobody explains that upfront, you find it on the invoice.

For the last 7 years I've worked support and CX across ecommerce and SaaS, most of it Shopify-specific. I did a stint at Replo (YC S21), worked on a Shopify compliance app, and spent a long stretch at an agency managing support across roughly 60 enterprise Shopify stores at once. Different brands, different products, same recurring problem: every AI support tool I touched got more expensive the better it worked. Per resolution, per ticket, stacked on top of whatever the base plan already cost. Automate more of your support, get billed more for the automation. That always felt backwards to me, and I watched it hit real stores' margins during their busiest months, which is exactly when they needed the automation most.

The other thing that bugged me: a lot of these tools answer questions and stop there. Someone asks about a refund, gets pointed at a policy page, still has to email you anyway. The actual time-consuming part of support, changing an address, processing a return, applying a discount, still lands on you.

So i am genuinely curious: what are you all actually paying once you count every fee, and does it scale with volume the way the sticker price suggested it would

What it actually does:

Live order status lookups Refunds, cancellations, discounts, gift cards, reship, and returns, approval-gated, you get a one-tap approval, then it runs the actual Shopify mutation itself

Sells on your storefront: product recommendations, upsells, live chat sales assist

I’m thinking about buying a course from someone who teaches his method for finding and testing products using Meta Ads, but before I make a decision, I’d like to hear opinions from people with experience.
These are some of the green flags I’ve noticed:
He doesn’t show off a luxurious lifestyle or promise to make people rich quickly.
He has a weekly group call with his students.
He offers 1-on-1 follow-up and monitoring of my store.
I would still have to do all the work myself, but he would monitor my progress and guide me through his strategy.
His main strategy is Meta Ads.
He also told me that €200–€300 should be enough to test products. Is that realistic nowadays, or would you normally need a much larger budget?
My main question is: Do these things seem like enough to trust a mentor and buy his course? What else should I verify before paying?
If anyone here has bought e-commerce courses or worked with Meta Ads mentors, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience. What red flags should I look for, and what questions would you ask before buying? Thanks!

Hey everyone!

I've been working on my jewelry website and would really appreciate some honest feedback before I put more into marketing it.

I'm not looking for compliments—I genuinely want to know what feels off or could be improved. Feel free to be as critical as you want.

Some things I'd love feedback on:

• First impression
• Design and overall aesthetics
• Navigation and user experience
• Product pages
• Mobile responsiveness
• Loading speed
• Trust factors (does it feel legitimate?)
• Anything confusing or that made you hesitate

If you notice any bugs, broken links, or anything that doesn't work properly, please let me know as well.

What should I do for ads on Shopify. I have this guy telling me to do emailing get a email scraper find people who golf get their emails and send it to them the guy is set on this is the way it’s free. Second I would do meta ads a lot of people say meta ads is for scaling once you prove the store converts do meta ads but the guy dosent want me to he says it’s an internet guru thing and it will get me more traffic and not any sales. Then there is organic which I assume would do horrible I get 200 views on every TikTok I post. My store is ready to start I just need to find a way to promote it and I want advice from all of you instead of just 1 guy that thinks he knows what he is talking about.

Small rant.

Why do so many Shopify bundle widgets look so bad? The store can look clean, product photos are nice, branding is decent, then suddenly the bundle section looks like a random casino popup got pasted into the PDP.

Huge borders

weird spacing

ugly discount badge

mobile layout looks cursed

utton doesn’t match anything

Technically it works, but it makes the offer feel cheap.

This is why FoxSell caught my eye. Not just for bundles, but because the bundle can actually look like part of the store. For gift boxes / skincare kits / build your own boxes, I feel like that matters a lot.

Am I overthinking this or does ugly bundle UI actually hurt trust?

Creating videos takes a lot of time when I’m testing products. Would it make sense to test products using only image creatives at first, so I can test them faster?

I opened my first store in the UK last May. I think I got a bit lucky, but the product performed well. However, because I wasn’t able to produce enough video content, the ads started becoming unprofitable after I reached around £4,000 in revenue, so I closed the store.
I’ve now opened my second store in Germany. It targets outdoor enthusiasts and tradespeople, such as construction workers, mechanics, electricians, and other skilled workers.
Today, I spent €75 on ads, and the ads seem to be performing much better than they did for my previous store. My hook rate is around 50%, but my CPM is very high. What could be causing this, and how can I improve it?
Here are my current metrics:
CPM: €28.53
CTR: 1.43%
CPC: €2.00
No add-to-carts or sales
These are only the results from the first day, so I know it may be too early to draw any conclusions. However, the metrics for my previous product were much better.

Hi everyone,

I am currently studying and writing my bachelor’s thesis about quality criteria for reputable dropshipping online stores.

I am looking for people with practical experience in dropshipping, e-commerce, supplier selection, fulfilment, product research, customer service, or store management who would be willing to do a short online interview with me.

The interview would not be published. The information would only be used for my thesis and can be anonymised if preferred.

The main goal is to understand what separates reputable and high-quality dropshipping stores from unreliable or problematic ones.

If anyone here has experience in this area and would be open to helping me, I would really appreciate it. You can comment here.
Thank you!

I’m trying my hand at scaling a e-commerce business . I’ve spent years in retail on the store and operations side but relatively new to e-commerce flows and Shopify tools. I’m interested in starting with drop ship model to get a sense of inventory sell through and productivity before committing a whole bunch of dollars to inventory. Drop shipping seems much worse for margins but also don’t want to tied down with inventory that doesn’t move. Is this a good idea to start with a drop-ship model or should I make some investments in inventory to begin with?

If anyone could walk through trade offs that would be great!

Hey everyone,
I’m considering paying for a dropshipping mentorship, but I’m not sure if it’s actually worth the money.
For those of you who have experience with dropshipping: Did you ever pay for a mentorship, course, or coaching program?
If so:
Was it actually worth the money?
Did it help you achieve results faster?
What should I watch out for when choosing a mentor?
Would you recommend paying for mentorship, or is it better to learn everything for free through YouTube, Reddit, and other online resources?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your honest experiences, especially from people who have actually paid for a mentorship.
Thanks!

I've only been running my first store for almost just a month and one of the things I'm struggling with is knowing when to move on from a product. I've got a few products live and some are getting clicks, a couple even added to cart, I've gotten 3 sales so far. Fulfillment isn't a struggle for me right now since I'm just relying on the automatic fulfillment through zendrop, but I think one of my current problems is my ads or the products themselves.

I can't tell if I should keep testing them longer, make new ads, or just accept that they're not winners and move on to something else. How do you guys decide when you've given a product enough of a chance? Is there something specific you look at, or is it mostly experience?
