My favorite part of Oberlo, is their wonderful support team. It seems Oberlo has a really good company culture and that shines through when you speak with their team. They have helped me on several occasions and offered me workarounds for problems when it was not within their capacity to help with a specific issue. For that reason alone, Oberlo is more than worth it.
If that still is not enough to convince you that this Germany-based online application is worth it, take a look at these reasons:
1. Oberlo allows you to use their services for free - yes, when you are first starting out you can use Oberlo for free to add products, get used to their program, and act as a liaison between Shopify and Aliexpress. Keep in mind that this will be limited to a certain amount of products and is subject to change.
2. Bulk Editing - you want to edit as much as you can in Oberlo before importing to your Shopify store. This is because bulk editing in Oberlo is much easier than in Shopify and you will save a lot of time this way.
3. Setting rules - you can set certain pricing rules to help you stay consistent in your pricing. By setting a rule you don't have to worry about your supplier or manufacturer changing the price and you losing out on your profits.
4. Searching for products - using Oberlo to search for products rather than AliExpress allows you to set additional filters and gives you a much better overview. It is also easier to compare products in Oberlo.
Oberlo is almost entirely flawless. It is very straightforward to use and anyone could learn it in a day or two. Therefore, the only issue I have with Oberlo, is that I want more of it! I want Oberlo that can be integrated with other e-commerce platforms than Shopify and I want Oberlo to be able to source products from more marketplaces than Aliexpress.
Imagine this: you get 10 orders a day (which is a very low number, but easy math) and for each order you have to click "view on AliExpress", then click the chosen size/color/amount and "add to cart", once you are in the cart you need to click "edit customer address" and copy/paste the name and address for your customer. Then you need to double check everything, add card number and pay. And you have to do this 10 times. Some people order more than one thing - which increases your work exponentially. OR - you could use Oberlo. All you have to do is click "Order Product" and Oberlo automatically goes through all the steps I laid out earlier - for you! Get your life back with Oberlo.
Okay, so let me tell you why Oberlo is hands-down THE BEST application to integrate with your Shopify store in my opinion. If you're new to the world of E-Commerce world with ambitious ideas and a shoe-string budget, Shopify can be a little overwhelming and intimidating with thousands of apps that you later discover are necessary but cost a lot of money. I've listed a few points that came to mind - straight of the bat:
1) The Stimulus Package - If you're a newbie like I once was, Oberlo grants you a "Starter" Membership that's TOTALLY FREE! Well, of course, you still have some limitations like adding only 500 products to your store and being allowed only 50 orders per month. But I just love how Oberlo gives you a chance to grow before it hands you a premium or a more professional option. It let's you test your ideas before investing in something that actually works for you.
2) Price Automation - There are pricing rules that you can craft and these rules will automatically govern the price of your products without you having to individually change them all the time. I found that suppliers frequently change their product's sourcing price. So I assigned pricing rules to all my products so that even when the price fluctuates, I still get to maintain my profit margin and the price of that particular product will automatically change in my store.
3) E-Packet Filters - If you're new, don't panic after hearing the word "E-packet". Well, since you're dealing with Ali-Express, a lot of products take upwards of 45 days to reach your customer. However, Oberlo gives you an E-packet filter which helps you zero in on those products which have the fastest shipping times.
4) Oberlo Certified Suppliers - It's safe to say that finding the right supplier for a product is downright dangerous and risky. You have to go through various metrics like their ratings, their order history, etc. And even then, you can't be so sure you can trust them. Here's where Oberlo saves the day! Oberlo gives you a list of trusted and verified suppliers so that you can import their products to your store without even thinking twice! You can rest assured that your customer will not only receive his/her product, but will also get it on time.
5) Integrated Order Tracking - Okay, so a customer sends you an enquiry mail about his/her order and you don't know what to tell them. Just use Oberlo's integrated order tracker to get all the details about a particular order at any time.
6) Supplier Switcheroo - Let's say you were relying on a supplier for some time now, but you've discovered that another supplier is selling the exact same product at a lesser price. You don't have to create a whole new listing and add in all the product details again. That's going to take you ages! You can simply just switch your supplier while using the same product listing.
7) Bang For You Buck - When you've gained momentum and you're ready to become a pro hustler, Oberlo's pricing modules are not only affordable, but are definitely worth the price. At just under $30, you can upgrade your Oberlo Membership which gives you many more benefits - like more product imports and a greater order bandwidth.
8) Instant Imports - You can add products from AliExpress to your Shopify store with just a click. As soon as you integrate Oberlo into your store, just hover your mouse pointer on the product that you like on the Ali Express Website and click on the "Oberlo" icon that props up and you're done. It's that simple! You're going to need an Oberlo Extension on your browser for this, by the way.
There's nothing that I "Dislike" about Oberlo, per say. There's just one thing that I wish they take into consideration for the best interest of all the Shopify Store owners who use Oberlo.
Right now, you can only import products from Ali-Express. No doubt, there are like a billion products to choose from over there, but a true hustler would want a variety. I wish Oberlo integrates with more websites and platforms that are similar to Ali Express. Preferably in the United States where we don't have those awkward shipping times to deal with.
1) Start small, import a limited amount of products so that you are always on top of things.
2) Don't listen to any Shopify Gurus because we know all know that their content is doctored. Start your own journey and make the best use of helpful apps like Oberlo and various page builders.
3) Implement your own ideas and always trust your gut.
I've integrated Oberlo with my Shopify Store back in the beginning of 2019. The platform has helped me grow my Shopify business and made things considerably easier during the initial period. I was able to generate income first and then go in for a premium Oberlo membership.
