Using SaleHoo for Dropshipping

Finding Dropshipping Suppliers with SaleHoo: dropshipping suppliers with trending products to begin your eCommerce journey.


Looking to start a successful eCommerce business with dropshipping? SaleHoo has what you need with some of the most powerful tools on the marketplace. Let us walk you through how you can smoothly get a dropshipping business up and running with SaleHoo.


Dropshipping with SaleHoo Dropship

Let’s imagine you are ready to build your first dropshipping business centred around children's toys. With Discover > Sourcing > Products, finding and adding products to your store is simple. Just search for any item you’re interested in, and if it’s available for direct integration, click “Import to Store” to send it straight to your Shopify store.


If direct import isn’t available, no problem! You can click “Contact Supplier” on the product profile to connect with the supplier, ask questions, and discuss pricing or order details.


To get the best results, be sure to use the available filters to narrow down your search and find products that perfectly match your niche and business needs. All of our suppliers are pre-vetted and chosen for their quality and dependability.


Take a closer look at each product’s details and choose the items that best fit your children’s toys business. Once you’ve found your winners, simply import them into your Shopify store.


Your Product Inventory acts as your personal shortlist, housing all the items you’ve selected from AliExpress and plan to add to your store. This makes it easy to stay organized, compare products, and streamline your research and importing process from start to finish.


SaleHoo Tip: Join SaleHoo now and we can help you setup your Shopify store!


After you’ve compiled a list of products you want to sell, detail all of the product information you’d like your customers to view on your online store. Edit the Product, Shipping Options, Pricing and Variants, and Images tabs. Once completed, click ‘Upload to Shopify’ and you're done. A new item is now ready to be sold on your online store. It’s that easy!


Once customer orders begin coming through, you can easily fulfill them on one well-organized dashboard. This allows you to get a bird’s-eye view of what is selling within your store and whether or not you have fulfilled your customers’ orders. Just click “Place Order” and your dropshipping supplier will ship the item to your customer. SaleHoo Dropship is the quickest, easiest way to dropship.



Dropshipping with SaleHoo Directory

****If you already have a dropshipping business or would like to use a platform other than Shopify, SaleHoo can still help. With SaleHoo Directory you can find pre-vetted dropshipping suppliers that integrate with a number of different platforms.


Similar to the example we followed above, let’s say you have established a dropshipping business and are looking for new dropship suppliers to source sunglasses. Within SaleHoo Directory you can search for “sunglasses” and filter down your results as needed. In this case we will use the Supplier Type **filter by “dropshippers.” You can also switch between **“Products” and “Suppliers” on the left panel to explore both product listings and full supplier profiles.



Contact Suppliers

Once you find a supplier that looks promising:

  • Review their Supplier Profile: warehouse location, years in business, integration options, and more.
  • Use SaleHoo’s tools to contact them easily:
    • Direct chat through SaleHoo
    • Or though their hotline phone number listed on their profile


Those are two great ways that SaleHoo can find you dropshipping suppliers with trending products to begin your eCommerce journey. 😊
