By Yaroslav Nevsky

When you build a strategic supplier partnership, you fill your dropshipping store with awesome products from the greatest manufacturers and sellers. But, how can you be sure that your suppliers are REALLY bringing you fame and fortune?

As an owner of your individual, custom-made dropshipping store, you certainly want to be the boss of the whole venture! Naturally, you want to control even the tiniest aspects of your business.

It is quite clear how to control the things that you do by your own efforts (let’s say, the products choice and import, or product pages info editing, etc.). In such cases, you are responsible for the processes from A to Z, and you manage them as you wish.

Still, the specific nature of dropshipping business model means that a large part of the work is done without your direct participation. For example, such crucial business procedures as the products manufacturing or stocking, the orders assembly, and the packages shipment are done by your suppliers. These companies (or private individuals) are located far far away and typically are not discussing their business practices with you.

It doesn’t mean, however, that you can’t track, analyze, and influence their activity!

Thanks to My Suppliers, the newest add-on developed by our team, you can always keep your finger on the pulse – and stay well-informed about the potential of your suppliers.

How will I benefit from My Suppliers?

Thanks to the add-on, you easily get a detailed picture of every seller’s importance for your store.

To be more specific, the add-on lets you see:

  • How many AliExpress suppliers provide products for you
  • What is the AliExpress rating (and therefore, what is the customers’ opinion) of each of these sellers
  • How many products from each of the suppliers are featured in your store
