Understanding Product Listing

Listing a product means adding it to your online store with all the necessary details—name, description, price, images, and options like size or color. A well-crafted product listing not only grabs attention but also boosts sales. By optimizing your listings, you’re setting yourself up for more conversions and satisfied customers. It’s not just about the details; it’s about creating a smooth, engaging experience that turns visitors into loyal buyers. Make sure your inventory, shipping, and fulfillment are set up right, so every purchase is seamless. The better your listing, the more people will buy from you!

Here is how to list your products from Cj Dropshipping to your Shopify store:

1. Search for products: Use the CJ Dropshipping app to search for products you want to sell. You can search for products by keyword, category, or supplier. Once you find a product you want to sell, click on the product to view its details.
2. Add products to your Shopify store: From the product details page, click the “Add to Import List” button. This will add the product to your import list in the CJ Dropshipping app.
3. Customize product details: After adding the product to your import list, you can customize the product details such as the product title, description, price, and images. To customize the product details, click on the product in your import list and click the “Edit” button.
4. Publish the product: Once you have customized the product details, click the “Publish to Shopify” button. This will publish the product to your Shopify store.
5. Place a test order: Before promoting the product, place a test order to ensure everything is working correctly. This will help you make sure that the product is being shipped correctly and that the product details are accurate.

Ensuring Quality & Reliability of Your Listed Products

Before promoting any product, ensure a smooth customer experience by testing the purchase process yourself. Buy from your own store to check payment reliability, shipping speed, and product quality firsthand. Not only will this help you understand what your customers experience, but you can also use the product you receive for marketing—whether it’s taking high-quality photos or making demo videos. This builds trust, boosts sales, and gives you great content for promotions!

How to Set the Perfect Price for Maximum Profits

Getting your product pricing right is key to running a profitable dropshipping business. Price too high, and customers may turn away. Price too low, and you’re left with little profit. Here’s how you can set prices that both attract customers and keep your business thriving.

1. Set Your Listing Price 60-80% Higher Than the Manufacturer’s Price
   To ensure a healthy profit margin, always mark up your product by 60-80%. For example, if you source a product for $20, list it at around $32 to $36. This keeps your pricing competitive while giving you the cushion to cover expenses and generate real revenue.
2. Use Psychological Pricing—End Prices with .95 or .99
   Rather than rounding off prices to a flat number like $50.00, use .95 or .99. For instance, pricing an item at $49.95 instead of $50 makes the price seem lower, even if it’s only by a small margin. This small adjustment has a big impact on buyer psychology and can lead to higher sales.
3. Ensure Your Average Order Value (AOV) Is Over $50
   Ideally, you want to aim for an average order value of at least $50. Higher AOV means you’re making more money per sale, helping you to hit revenue targets faster. Offering bundles or complementary products can help you push the AOV up.
4. Offer Free Shipping for Orders Over $100
   Shoppers love free shipping, but you should set a threshold that encourages them to buy more. Offering free shipping on orders over $100 incentivizes customers to increase their cart value, which directly boosts your revenue without much extra cost.

Supercharge Your Sales with Upsell Strategy

Why stop at just one sale? With the right upsell strategy, you can easily increase the total value of every order. One tool that makes this simple is CandyRack—a Shopify integration designed specifically for upselling. At checkout, CandyRack automatically suggests related products or add-ons that perfectly complement what the customer is already buying.

To make upselling effective, ensure that the suggested items don’t exceed 10-20% of the main product’s value and are related, enhancing the overall purchase. For example, if your customer buys a phone case, suggest a screen protector or a charging cable—items that complete the purchase without feeling like unnecessary add-ons.

By encouraging customers to add these extra items to their cart, you boost your overall sales without having to invest in acquiring new customers. It’s an easy win for your business and provides customers with a more satisfying shopping experience.
