1. Choose your niche
najprv, decide what you’d like to sell and who your audience is. There are over thousands of products to choose from on Alibaba. Find what resonates more with you and determine who is most interested in your product category.
You can either go with trendy products or an area you’re interested in like technology, make up, skincare, home care, wall art, atď. Always be very wary of products’ quality and watch out for knockoffs, make sure to always go with unbranded products to avoid possible legal issues. You can work with your supplier to add your brand logo if any, but this is always making sure you aren’t stealing an already existing brand’s identity.
2. Nastavte si internetový obchod
Once you have an idea of the products you plan to sell and got in contact with a reliable supplier, it’s time to set up your dropshipping site. Tu budú vaši zákazníci interagovať s vašou značkou a nakupovať vaše produkty. Bez zavedenej webovej stránky, nebudete môcť importovať svoje produkty ani poskytnúť svojim zákazníkom vstupnú stránku, aby sa dozvedeli viac o vašej značke.
Celý zmysel Alibaba a Syncee je jednoducho vás spojiť s dodávateľmi a pomôcť vám naplniť inventár vášho obchodu bez toho, aby ste museli skutočne niečo kupovať bez toho, aby ste najprv uskutočnili akýkoľvek predaj..
Your store is the skeleton of your dropshipping business and without it you’ll need to rely on third-party sellers like Amazon or eBay, and be ready to share a portion of your gains with them.
On the other side, while having your own site, once your suppliers are paid their portion, all of the remaining profit goes to you. And if you were considering selling through a third party marketplace, you can also achieve this by connecting your Ecwid store to any of these.
Napriek tomu, having your own website remains one of the best methods to start a dropshipping business. Not only do you get to keep all of the profit, but also get to build a more customized and personilized approach for your audience, retarget past visitors, and even set up subscription payments.

3. Add your products
Once you know the kind of products you’ll be selling and have finished setting up your Ecwid store, this is when you start filling your store and adding your products. You can always start with a few products to then add more later on, just keep in mind the product description and images. Make sure to include keywords, and make them as appealing as you can you to your customers.
Back to product addition, you can easily import products from Alibaba to your Ecwid store using the Syncee app. The app allows you to:
- Add Already existing products from Alibaba into your store
- Rename products and change their price
- Easily manage new and past orders
The Syncee app is available for free in the Eciwd app market. You simply have to look for it once your store is ready and connect it. Dropshipping with Alibaba works just like any other dropshipping supplier platform, and it is as simple as having an Ecwid store and the Syncee app installed. Odtiaľ, you’ll have easy access to all of your products information, order details, and customer information.
Simply create an Alibaba and Ecwid account, look for the Syncee app available for free on the Ecwid app market, nainštalujte ho, and make sure you agree with terms to connect Syncee with Alibaba. Once your Ecwid store and Syncee account are connected to Alibaba, find and pick your products to upload to your store. Once you find a product you like, click “Add import to list” and then check your Synccee dashboard’s “Import List” and click “Add to catalog.”
Once the item is in your Syncee catalog you can easily rename it, leaving you with the simple task of syncing it with your Eciwd store. This can be done by simply clicking sync in the “My Catalogs” option. Voila! Your product is now ready for purchase!
4. Add shipping and payment method
Posledný, but not least, before you open for business, don’t forget to determine a shipping method for your orders. On Alibaba, you can expect to choose from their standard shipping or Premium shipping options. Premium is typically faster, especially for those planning to ship to the US.
Chvalabohu, once you determine a shipping method, Syncee takes care of the rest. Whenever a customer places an order, the app charges customers the price you set for a specific item, to then purchase the product from the Alibaba supplier and have it shipped to the buyer. WIth Syncee’s Auto Order, paid orders flow into your store so all you have to worry about is keeping track that the orders are being fulfilled. It doesn’t get any easier!
And like any reputable store, make sure to add a refund and return policy, as well as your payment method of choice. Môžete si vybrať, či chcete prijímať medzinárodné objednávky alebo nie, a či uprednostňujete platby kreditnou kartou alebo nejaký konkrétny spôsob platby. Alibaba ponúka pre dropshipperov obrovské množstvo platobných metód, z ktorých si môžu vybrať, okrem PayPal.
