  • Logo design (you will be provided with 2 options)

The structure of the templates is not changeable and there is no possibility to use third-party themes.

Home Page Texts

We create and add a short home page text telling about your store and products.

Pricing Markup Formula

We set up the pricing markup formula in your store according to our standards. We recommend aiming for a profit margin between 40% and 70%. If you have your own formula in mind, we can also set it up. You need to confirm this step before we start importing products.

Products

Our content managers will manually choose, upload and edit products for you. The amount of products we add to your store depends on the package:

  • Basic – 50 items
  • Advanced – 100 items
  • Ultimate – 200 items
  • Supreme – 500 items

We select highly demanded and popular items from the most trusted AliExpress sellers only.

We stick to specific standards of choosing and editing products. When choosing items for your store, we usually consider such criteria as:

  • The number of orders on AliExpress
  • Product rating
  • Seller’s rating
  • Free shipping + AliExpress Standard Shipping (It’s often available for free or costs around $1-$3)

Why do we choose AliExpress Standard Shipping?

– Tracking is available so you can easily track your package when it’s shipped.
– Available for most of the suppliers on AliExpress (depends on the country)
– Products are packed in good quality packaging

*Due to customs issues, it may take more time for the order delivery.

Please note: if there are not many products on AliExpress that match your niche, we can choose some new products with a small number of orders and reviews. In any case, they will be supplied by reliable and trusted sellers only!

When editing products’ descriptions, we will:

  • Edit titles to make them short and appealing and to include your main keywords into them
  • Add informative product descriptions.

Please note: we don’t create new description texts and don’t write sales copies. To create these descriptions, we only use the information about the items’ specifics originally provided by AliExpress suppliers. Edit all the shipping attributes, change China to Outside US, United States to Inside US.
Please note: shipping attributes on product pages in AliDropship Woo plugin cannot be removed due to platform restrictions.

  • Edit all the featured/gallery/description/variation images, remove the original logos and brand names from them, use only high quality pictures.

Please note: if you want to change some items after we added them to your site, we can offer one revision that covers 10% of the total quantity of the uploaded products. After your site is completed, you can easily add more products with the help of AliDropship plugin that is integrated into your site, or with the catalog of professionally pre-edited AliExpress products. The number of products you can import is only limited by the disk space on your hosting and the WordPress / WooCommerce functionality. For AliDropship + WordPress platform, it is recommended having not more than 2,000 items, for AliDropship Woo + WooCommerce – not more than 500 items.

Reviews
We will import real product reviews from AliExpress.com. You can always remove or add new reviews by yourself after the project is finished.
Please note: we import reviews without pictures to be sure they look credible and trustworthy.

Payment Gateways

There are 2 options to accept buyers’ payments: PayPal and credit/debit cards. To connect PayPal to your website, you need to have an active PayPal account. If you want to accept credit cards on your site, you need to be registered and approved by an online payment processing service. We can’t guarantee the approval because your website can be rejected by online payment processing services for different reasons. We recommend using Stripe (make sure it is supported in your country). Read more about payment gateways here.

Business Branded Email & Contact Information

Working with a dropshipping website, you should use email as a primary way of communication with your customers and suppliers. We will create a business branded email for you (support@yourdomain.shop/ support@yourdomain.store) and provide you with the access details. You can also provide a phone number and address that will be shown on your website. We recommend providing these details to make your store look more trustworthy.

Mailing Service

In order to send email notifications automatically, you need to register with one of the available mailing services. Notifications are sent to your customers when:

  • The order has been placed on your website and paid for
  • The order has been shipped
  • The contact form has been filled in

Your support manager will recommend you the best mailing services. Our team will configure all the necessary settings for you.

We add SEO meta-tags to your home page. There will be a title, a description and keywords related to your niche. Our SEO specialists also take the following actions:

  • Check sitemap and robots files for the proper site indexing

  • Work on social bookmarking
  • Submitting your website to the indexing services of search engines

We send you a SEO report after all these steps are taken.
Please note: SEO has a long-term effect which can be seen in a few months only.

PROMOTION

Email Subscription Form Integration

We set up a subscription form in your website footer using MailChimp. With the help of this subscription form, you can collect email addresses of your site visitors to use them for your email marketing campaigns.

Lead Generation Pop-up Setup

We set up a pop-up subscription form by Mailchimp on your site. It offers a discount coupon in exchange for subscription (a person’s email address). The percentage of the discount will be discussed with you. Right after the subscription, the person’s address gets into your mailing list. Therefore, this user receives an automated email with the coupon code which can be applied during checkout.

Promo Emails Setup

We create an automated sequence of 4 promo emails featuring your store products at your choice. It’s a great way to stay in touch with your new subscribers, tell them about your products and inspire them to place their orders.

These 4 promo emails are sent to every new subscriber regardless of the time they subscribed. The first “welcome” email with a discount coupon is sent immediately, the second – in 3 days, the third – in a week, the fourth – one week later.

You can confirm the prepared promo emails to be sent by yourself, or the team can do that for you.

Social Media Posts

The team truly wants your social media accounts to look attractive and be ready to welcome customers. So, we prepare 30 engaging posts for your store pages on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook and schedule them for posting in Social Rabbit’s Planner (1 post/day). These posts include some entertaining content and publications telling about your awesome products.
