Dropified Review: Is It Worth It? (2021)
Find out if Dropified is worth it or not Below!
[featured-image]
Today, we are looking at a software that promises to take the most time-consuming (and annoying) tasks that you encounter in your daily dropshipping life off your hands. Say goodbye to constantly adding new products from Aliexpress, manually fulfilling orders, and monitoring tracking statuses. Dropified, according to its developer, takes over all these tedious tasks so that you can focus on the essential things, like branding, your long-term development strategy, or supplier relationships.
But is this software really worth its price? The cheapest and most restricted Dropified option is a monthly subscription at $47/month. From there, you can decide to add on features, and if you opt to go for the “Premier” version that includes every single feature, you will be spending $127/month. There is also an option specifically for supplement shops that starts at $197/month, but this part will not be the focus of this review.
Do you need Dropified?
So, right off the bat, I can tell you if you are just getting started with dropshipping, you do not need this tool yet. It is better to learn all these things manually, and then, once your shop starts scaling and your revenues grow, you can think about investing in some additional software like Dropified. If you are successful enough, there might even be a point where you will be unable to handle all the incoming orders without any kind of software support.
Is this investment worth it for me?
If you are running a larger store that deals with multiple orders a day, then yes. Dropified comes with an incredibly long list of tools and features that can be very useful for running your shop, especially if you have already passed that initial growth stage and are looking to scale your operation even further.
I would even recommend getting Dropified if it only included the five most essential features. But, there is so much more to explore and learn about. To give you an overview of what you can expect to get from this software, I will go through its most important features:
Dropified Chrome Extension and Automatic Product Importation
This tool is a lifesaver and will make your product research process so much easier. Using this extension, you are able to import products from AliExpress and virtually every other supplier using just one click. This saves valuable time and takes a lot of annoying work off your hands. Dropified automatically saves every single file associated with the product, instead of having to do it one by one. Every picture, every hardware specification, it all gets copied directly into your account.
The following is a list of all the retailers where Dropified supports a one-click-import. As you can see, the options here are truly limitless. Most people restrict themselves to popular sites like AliExpress and eBay when doing product research, so you have a great opportunity to get ahead of the competition right now!

Built-In Image Editor
Using this tool, you can very quickly edit images and remove logos without ever having to save the files on the machine. The editing software is not the most advanced, and if you want a truly clean cutout, you might just have to resort back to a third-party-program, but for your average, day-to-day minor corrections, it is absolutely good enough.
Cut out background, logos, or noise with relative ease. Hardly anything here takes longer than a minute.
Dynamic Product Description Templates
Wow, this is one of my absolute favorite tools included in Dropified. It allows you to quickly and easily create your own dynamic product descriptions that fetch the necessary data from aliexpress, or whichever site you tell it to. As I have a background in online marketing, I can tell you, dynamic product descriptions are the #1 trend companies all over the world are jumping on right now. They adjust themselves according to the exact string of words the user originally searched for, so you are guaranteed to almost always have an identical match of the user intent.
An example; instead of having to write your promotional material for every single product, Dropified allows you to do something like the following:
“Get the {{product_name}} for ${{price}} instead of ${{compare_at_price}} when you order today.”
This string will automatically replace the brackets with the exact words the user used when searching for the product. This strategy is guaranteed to boost your sales and take a lot of time off your hands that you would have spent on creating all of these texts manually.
Product Bundle Mapping
Definitely a feature for the more advanced drop ship users. This tool allows you to drastically increase your average order value (AOV) by combining a few single products into a bundle. An example would be a swimming starter bundle that includes a swimsuit, goggles, a towel, and a book to learn the proper technique.
If a customer wants to purchase one of those things, chances are they are also looking for the other. By offering such things as a bundle, you are making life easier for your customer. And they will usually thank you for boosting your revenues!
The best thing is, you do not even need all the products stored. Shopified orders them all separately from AliExpress (or whichever vendor you chose) within seconds of the customer placing the order.
One-Click Automated Order Feature
When you are just starting out, you are probably still enjoying manually fulfilling all your orders. In the beginning, it is exciting and gives you a feel for the progress of your store. Once you start getting multiple orders a day, that attitude tends to shift quite drastically.
Luckily, Shopify offers a solution. The software can handle all your order fulfillment by itself. It will always fill in the correct address, name and chose the correct shipping option. It will even update your customer with their tracking code once the parcel has been shipped, and it has become available.
“Outsourcing” this process to Shopified is one of the best decisions you can make, especially as your shop grows. You do not want to deal with errors made in shipping addresses or options. If you already have some drop shipping experience, you know how incredibly tedious and time consuming even one simple mistake here can be. Luckily, Shopified simply doesn’t make any mistakes. It copies the exact data provided by the customer and completely removes the element of human error from the equation.
ePacket Filter
If you do not know what ePacket is, you should learn about it immediately. It is the best shipping option available for items from Asia. No other courier service offers better rates, and most dropshipping professionals use almost entirely products that are available to ship via ePacket. Since its inception, shipping times for products from Asia to North America have been cut in half.
By filtering your stores t show only ePacket products, you are saving a lot of valuable time. If you chose to go for non-ePacket products, there is a very high chance that you will regularly have to wait for up to a month to receive your products. Not something you want to do if you’re going to be successful in the world of dropshipping.
Conclusion
In this review, we’ve only looked at the five most important features of Dropified. And those are already a lifesaver, especially if your store is continually growing and demanding of your attention. Add onto that the seemingness many other tools and features that come with Dropified, and you might be able to tell why it is a wise idea to make this investment.
Its monthly costs are significant, but if your store gets to the size that you would benefit from Dropified, it will be worth your money. Just consider the amount of time you will be able to save using this software. The 1-click-import and automated order fulfillment feature alone will save you countless hours of tedious, annoying work. No more copy-pasting addresses for hours or trying to find all the necessary information on a product listing. Dropified does it all for you, and so much more.
